[English]

I've tried to act unfazed

But whenever I see you

I lose all my courage

'Cause my heart starts pounding

You shot me from the sky

You're my greatest weakness

You leave me powerless

Yeah, frozen, breathless

This can't go on much longer

'Cause I'm desperate for you to see

That I need you right here with me

'Cause you've got that special something

So get out, get out, get out of my head

Just fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind

Come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Yeah, you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head

Just fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind

Come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Yeah, you've got that one thing

[Korean]

I've tried playing it cool

But when I'm looking at you

I can never be brave

Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky

You're my kryptonite

You keep making me weak

Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

Something's gotta give now

Cause I'm dying just to make you see

That I need you here with me now

Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Yeah, you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Yeah, you've got that one thing
