[English]

I'm your pookie in the morning, you're my pookie in the night

Just seeing you, Super crazy, oh my, a dizzying gets the vibe

Doesn't matter what I do, one, two, three, gimme that cue

Cause I'm your pookie, my heart is beating, gets the sign

That’s right

Pick my fresh new lipstick, today's color (Oh my)

Refreshed, the feeling in the mirror, even the air is different

Not bad, right? All I gotta do is blow a kiss

Even salt tastes sweet, this is Z to A

And I've never felt like this

Cause I get what I want and I want what I get like every time

Cause I glow when I roll out of bed, no regrets, I'm living my life

No more boring worries

Now we're maybe lovesick and we know it

I'm your pookie in the morning, I'm your pookie in the night

Just seeing you, Super crazy, my heart is beating, gets the vibe

Doesn't matter what I do, one, two, three, gimme that cue

Cause I'm your pookie, even if it's confusing, I know the signs

Pa-pa-pa-ra-pa

I glance at you, I feel like I'm about to burst

We can turn a bad day to a good time

Not bad, right? All I gotta do is blow a kiss

Even salt tastes sweet, this is Z to A

And I've never felt like this

Cause I get what I want and I want what I get like every time

Cause I glow when I roll out of bed, no regrets, I'm living my life

No more boring worries

Now we're maybe lovesick and we know it

You're my pookie in the morning, you're my pookie in the night

Just seeing you, Super crazy, my heart is beating, gets the vibe

Doesn't matter what I do, one, two, three, gimme that cue

Cause I'm your pookie, even if it's confusing, I know the signs

Key Grammar Structures

• I’m your pookie in the morning You’re my pookie in the night

  ➔ Present Simple (to be)

  ➔ Uses the present simple of the verb "to be" to express a state or characteristic that is true in the present. The structure is Subject + am/is/are + complement. "I'm" is a contraction of "I am" and "You're" is a contraction of "You are".

• Don’t matter what I do

  ➔ Negative Imperative (with "Don't")

  ➔ "Don't matter" is a slightly informal way of saying "It doesn't matter". The full clause means "It doesn't matter what I do." It uses the negative imperative form (Don't + base form of the verb) to express that something isn't important.

• 내 Fresh new 립스틱 Pick해 오늘의 Color (Oh my)

  ➔ Imperative (Korean usage implied)

  ➔ While not explicitly using imperative markers (like -세요/으세요), the sentence functions as an instruction or suggestion: "Pick my fresh new lipstick, today's color (Oh my)". In Korean, context often indicates the imperative without requiring formal markers.

• 새로 고침 거울 속 느낌 공기도 달라

  ➔ Descriptive Sentence (Korean)

  ➔ This sentence describes a feeling or sensation. In Korean, the order and particles contribute significantly to the meaning. Essentially, "The feeling in the refreshed mirror, even the air is different."

• Even salt tastes sweet

  ➔ Adverb of Degree (Even)

  ➔ The word "even" emphasizes the unexpected or surprising nature of the statement. Here, it highlights the fact that something as usually unpleasant as salt is experienced as sweet due to a strong emotion or feeling.

• 이건 Z to A

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression

  ➔ This phrase, even though in Korean, references the English idiom "from A to Z," meaning from beginning to end, or comprehensively. It suggests a complete or thorough understanding or experience.

• Cuz I get what I want and I want what I get like every time

  ➔ Complex Sentence (Causation and Comparison)

  ➔ This sentence combines a statement of causation (using "cuz" which is short for "because") with a comparison (using "like"). It implies a cause-and-effect relationship where the speaker's desires are always fulfilled. The structure shows the speaker always gets what they want and always want what they get, highlighting confidence and satisfaction.

• Cuz I glow when I roll out of bed No regrets I’m living my life

  ➔ Present Simple and Present Continuous with Causation

  ➔ The sentence uses "cuz" (because) to show a reason. "I glow" is present simple, describing a habitual action/state. "I'm living my life" is present continuous, emphasizing the active, ongoing nature of this particular period. The absence of regrets is also emphasized, adding another layer to the statement.

• 지겨울 걱정 따윈 No more 이제는 어쩜 Love sick and we know it

  ➔ Compound Sentence with Ellipsis

  ➔ This sentence combines two ideas. First, "지겨울 걱정 따윈 No more" which means "There's no more boring worries." There is some ellipsis here as it misses the auxiliary verb. Second, "이제는 어쩜 Love sick and we know it" translating to "Now maybe we are lovesick and we know it." Both sentences are joined implying a causal relationship; the speaker/singer is no longer worried about boredom now that they are potentially lovesick.
