[English]

Tell me the taste ain’t good to ya

You know the taste is real

Girl you can search the world for better love

Tell me the taste ain’t good to ya

You know the taste is real

There‘s never a better love

Casually handing it over

Oh what’s your name?

Your gaze seems shaken

Don’t look at me like I’m basic

Fragrant and special

I ain’t just any little boy in a fairytale

Look at the vivid color It’s like 4k

An invitation sent straight to you

Mesmerizing and thrilling

I’m drivin’ you insane

Spreading all over your body

After giving you everything I have

You won’t be able to escape Babe

Choose me

Everything else is boring

Fall into the sweetness and 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

Your expression you can’t hide already

So go straight and try me babe

The intuitive feeling

I sensed the moment we touched

Every time my way

I’ll leave an impression

Before trusting me all

Memories fade away

Get drunk on sweetness and 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 but 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 the taste ain’t good to ya

You know the taste is real

Girl you can search the world for better love

Tell me the taste ain’t good to ya

You know the taste is real

There‘s never a better love

흔들린 듯해 너의 시선이

Don’t look at me like I’m basic

향기롭고 특별해

선명한 색을 봐 It’s like 4k

이대로 네게 보내는 초대

황홀하게 또 설레게

I’m drivin’ you insane

온몸에 퍼져 가

나의 모든 걸 준 다음에
