[English]

I can't just be friends anymore

I need you, I can't tell lies in my heart

If you feel the same way too

Let's take a step forward together

Yeah, I don't have time to waste

I want to tell you right now

But I feel fear, I’m a coward

But I gather my courage and try

If you give me a loving smile and say you like me

Baby, everything's gonna be alright

Gimme gimme more, I'll be by your side

One more time, gimme, gimme

One more time, oh oh

Under a different sky than yesterday

One more time, for tomorrow too

One more time, oh oh

Let's start again

One more time, just the two of us

One more time

One more time, give it to me

One more time

Yeah, what's up, boys?

I want you to know about girls

Look, I want to confess, but Woo

Girls have a rule to wait

Feeling so good beside you

I wanna peek into your eyes

Piercing through the clouds, higher

Hey, I wonder how far we can go

One hug isn't enough yet (TWICE)

I want to hear your beloved voice more (TWICE)

In the hands we've clasped

Miracles unfold

My heart races nonstop

Baby, you're my heartbeat

Gimme gimme more, walking with you

One more time, gimme, gimme

One more time, oh oh

Holding hands, I love everything I see

One more time, more than anyone

One more time, oh oh

Shining brightly

Together, we're happy, that's TWICE

No more hiding, just honest truth

Feeling super lucky, shining bright—TWICE

The coolest groove runs through my body

...

Gimme gimme more, I'll be by your side

One more time, gimme, gimme

One more time, oh oh

Under a sky different from yesterday

One more time, for tomorrow too

One more time, oh oh

One more time, one more time

Forevermore

One more time, one more time

Take me away, hey

One more time, one more time

Let's have a wonderful love story with you

Gimme gimme more, walking with you

One more time, gimme, gimme

One more time, oh oh

Holding hands, I love everything I see

One more time, more than anyone

One more time, oh oh

Gimme gimme more

...
