[English]

What's wrong?

I stir up your mind bewitchingly (Pop pop pop)

Watch out!

Your heart is all blown up and about to burst (Pop pop pop)

(Let's start) The way I want to play it

(Won't stop) C'mon up and shake it

You know? Just remember you are in my hands

You cannot get away from me

The twitch in your eyes, your nervous gestures Baby

I want to pop you

Before the fluttering stops

I wanna make it

Pop pop pop, you want it

Pop pop pop I want it to pop

This feeling of the heart pounding

I wanna make it

Pop pop pop, you want it

Pop pop pop I want to make you mine

Pop pop pop (Uh uh) (You want it)

Pop pop pop (Uh uh) (I got it)

Pop pop pop (Uh uh)

Pop pop pop

It is so obvious no matter how you try to hide

It already shows you keep floating around

Just relax and check it

Go ahead and take it

(Baby) Baby you're out of control

So you're under my control

Before the fluttering stops

I wanna make it

Pop pop pop, you want it

Pop pop pop I want it to pop

This feeling of the heart pounding

I wanna make it

Pop pop pop, you want it

Pop pop pop I want to make you mine

Pop pop pop (Uh uh) (You want it)

Pop pop pop (Uh uh) (I got it)

Pop pop pop (Uh uh)

Pop pop pop

Pop pop It might pop like a bubble

Keeps getting bigger and bigger

Don't try to deny that you are into me

Bae bae eyes on me now

I am gonna pop you

Five! Now it is time

Four! Hold your breath

Three! I'm aiming at you

Two! One! Here we go!

Before the fluttering stops

I wanna make it

Pop pop pop, you want it

Pop pop pop I want it to pop

This feeling of the heart pounding

I wanna make it

Pop pop pop, you want it

Pop pop pop I want to make you mine

Pop pop pop (Uh uh)

Pop pop pop (You gotta pop it)

Pop pop pop (I can't stop it)

Pop pop pop
