[English]

Psycho

What should I do with you?

This feeling is new to me again

Up & Down is pretty intense

I keep losing control

One thing’s for sure

I don’t play the game

We really are weird

I just like you so much

You know that very well

You’re tugging and pulling at me

And I’m the same way

We’re such a strange and weird pair

Breaking each other (breaking each other)

And then hugging again

(And then hugging again)

You got me feeling like a psycho psycho

People look at us and say over and over

Even when we fight, thinking we won’t see each other again

We stick close together, you know

They don’t get it

They say it’s not funny

Yeah, that’s right

Psycho psycho

We love each other to death

Fools, fools

Without you, everything feels dizzy and sad

Even my energy’s gone

People say we’re a good match

Hey now, we’ll be okay

Hey trouble

You come without warning

I’m the original visual

We’ve always been like this, yeah

I’m not afraid (just intrigued)

It’s hot! Let me just hop

How should I handle you? Ooh

I’m clueless, trying to comfort you

Even when I kick you fiercely

And you smile at me sometimes

How can I let you go? Ooh

We’re a beautiful yet sad pair

Lighting each other up

(Tell me now)

Like the moon and river

And then hugging again

You got me feeling like a psycho psycho

People look at us and say over and over

Even when we fight, thinking we won’t see each other again

We stick close together, you know

They don’t understand

They say it’s not funny

Yeah, that’s right

Psycho psycho

We love each other to death

Fools, fools

Without you, I feel dizzy and sad

Even my energy’s gone

People say we’re a good match

Hey now, we’ll be okay

Don’t look back

Let’s just go on as we are

I’m feeling you through my whole body

Everything will be okay

(You got me feeling like a psycho) Like a psycho psycho

People look at us and say over and over

Even when we fight, thinking we won’t see each other again

We stick close together, you know

They don’t understand

They say it’s not funny

Yeah, that’s right

Psycho psycho

We love each other to death

Fools, fools

Without you, I feel dizzy and sad

Even my energy’s gone

People say we’re a good match

Hey now, we’ll be okay

Hey now, we’ll be okay

Hey now, we’ll be okay

Hey now, we’ll be okay

It’s alright

It’s alright

We’re a bit strange

Psycho

널 어쩌면 좋을까

이런 맘은 또 첨이라

Up & Down이 좀 심해

조절이 자꾸 잘 안돼

하나 확실한 건

I don’t play the game

우리 진짜 별나대

그냥 내가 너무 좋아해

넌 그걸 너무 잘 알고

날 쥐락펴락해

나도 마찬가지인걸

우린 참 별나고 이상한 사이야

서로를 부서지게 (부서지게)

그리곤 또 껴안아

(그리곤 또 껴안아)

You got me feeling like a psycho psycho

우릴 보고 말해 자꾸자꾸

다시 안 볼 듯 싸우다가도

붙어 다니니 말야

이해가 안 간대

웃기지도 않대

맞아

Psycho psycho

서로 좋아 죽는

바보 바보

너 없인 어지럽고 슬퍼져

기운도 막 없어요

둘이 잘 만났대

Hey now we’ll be ok

Hey trouble

경고 따윈 없이 오는 너

I’m original visual

우린 원래 이랬어 Yeah

두렵지는 않아 (흥미로울 뿐)

It’s hot! Let me just hop

어떻게 널 다룰까? Ooh

어쩔 줄을 몰라 너를 달래고

매섭게 발로 차도

가끔 내게 미소 짓는 널

어떻게 놓겠어 Ooh

우린 아름답고 참 슬픈 사이야

서로를 빛나게 해

(Tell me now)

마치 달과 강처럼

그리곤 또 껴안아

You got me feeling like a psycho psycho

우릴 보고 말해 자꾸자꾸

다시 안 볼 듯 싸우다가도

붙어 다니니 말야

이해가 안 간대

웃기지도 않대

맞아

Psycho psycho

서로 좋아 죽는

바보 바보

너 없인 어지럽고 슬퍼져

기운도 막 없어요

둘이 잘 만났대

Hey now we’ll be ok

Don’t look back

그렇게 우리답게 가보자

난 온몸으로 널 느끼고 있어

Everything will be ok

(You got me feeling like a psycho) Like a psycho psycho

우릴 보고 말해 자꾸자꾸

다시 안 볼 듯 싸우다가도

붙어 다니니 말야

둘이 잘 만났대

Hey now we’ll be ok

Hey now we’ll be ok

Hey now we’ll be ok

Hey now we’ll be ok

It’s alright

It’s alright

우린 좀 이상해
