[English]

Tell me it doesn't taste good to you

You know this taste is the real deal

Girl, you can search the world, but you won't find a better love

Tell me it doesn't taste good to you

You know this taste is the real deal

There's never gonna be a better love

I naturally offer it to you

Oh what's your name?

Your gaze seems to waver

Don't look at me like I'm just basic

Fragrant and so special

I ain't just any little boy in a fairytale

Look at the vibrant colors, it's like 4K

This is an invitation I'm sending you, just like this

Making you feel ecstatic and fluttery

I'm driving you insane

Spreading throughout your body

After giving you everything I have

You won't be able to escape, babe

Just choose me, just me

Everyone else is boring compared to me

Falling for the sweetness, you go crazy

You stay

Callin' me extra sweet

Callin' me extra sweet

Just one bite

Pineapple slice of me

This pineapple slice of me

Dive

Deeper in these sweet

Deeper in these sweet

Just one bite

Pineapple slice of me

Take a bite of all of me, all of me

Honestly, without any secrets

Come and fall in love with me

You can't hide your expression anymore

So go straight and try me, babe

I knew it the moment we touched

That instinctive feeling

Every time, in my own way

I'll leave you with lingering feelings

Everything before you believed in me

Those memories are hazy

Intoxicated by sweetness, you go crazy

You stay

Callin' me extra sweet

Callin' me extra sweet

Just one bite

Pineapple slice of me

This pineapple slice of me

Dive

Deeper in these sweet

Deeper in these sweet

Just one bite

Pineapple slice of me

Take a bite of all of me, all of me

When our eyes meet again

Forget everyone except me

Erase everything but me

The only thing left in your heart

It'll never taste the same

It's just a different thing, babe

You stay

Callin' me extra sweet

Callin' me extra sweet

Just one bite

Pineapple slice of me

This pineapple slice of me

Dive

Deeper in these sweet

Deeper in these sweet

Just one bite

Pineapple slice of me

Take a bite of all of me, all of me

Tell me it doesn't taste good to you

You know this taste is the real deal

Girl, you can search the world, but you won't find a better love

Tell me it doesn't taste good to you

You know this taste is the real deal

There's never gonna be a better love
