[English]

I remember, the very first time I fell in love

I remember, oh oh

I remember, oh oh oh oh oh

Are you feeling the same way? 'Cause I'm in love

I remember, oh oh

I remember, whoa

Oh my, I wonder if I'm allowed to feel this way, oh oh

Yeah, because of you, I'm happy every day

Even if it feels like I'm rushing a little, baby

I need your love, oh oh

I need your love, oh oh oh oh oh

It’s so sweet, my heart drops

Sometimes I worry I might get hurt

You can't know everything from the start, right?

But I want to give it all a try

This dizzying feeling, this dangerous feeling keeps coming back

Hold my hand tightly, I want you

Make it steady, a little hotter

Hold me even tighter

You’re a roller coaster, ooh ahh

Roller coaster, ooh ahh

I need your love, ooh ahh

Baby, your love, love

My heart races when I look at you directly

Even if I pretend not to notice, everything’s obvious and I’m caught

Even if I don't say it first, you already know everything

You feel the same way I do, uh huh

Isn’t it a bit too fast?

But every day is new because of you

Even if I’m a little clumsy, please close your eyes, baby

I need your love, oh oh

I need your love, oh oh oh oh oh

It feels so sweet, as if time has stopped

I'm worried you might leave me unexpectedly

You can't know everything from the start, right?

But I want to give it all a try

This dizzying feeling, this dangerous feeling keeps coming back

Hold my hand tightly, I want you

Make it steady, a little hotter

Hold me even tighter

You’re a roller coaster, ooh ahh

Roller coaster, ooh ahh

I need your love, ooh ahh

Baby, your love, love

Somehow, you became my love

I love you, I love you, whoa

Hope not everything is just a dream

I love you, I love you

Look

You’re a roller coaster, ooh ahh (you’re a roller coaster babe)

Roller coaster, ooh ahh (roller coaster babe)

I need your love, ooh ahh (baby, I need your love!)

Baby, your love, love

[Korean]

I remember, very first time in love

I remember, oh oh

I remember, oh oh oh oh oh

너도 같은 기분일까 so I'm in love

I remember, oh oh

I remember, whoa

어머, 이래도 되는지 싶어 Oh, oh

그래, 너 때문에 매일 즐거워

조금 서두르는 것 같아도 baby

I need your love, oh oh

I need your love, oh oh oh oh oh

심장이 훅 내려앉게 달콤해

가끔은 상처받을까 걱정돼

처음부터 모든 걸 알 순 없겠지

하지만 난 다 던져볼래

자꾸 아찔한 이 느낌, 위험한 이 느낌

내 손을 꼭 잡아줘, I want you

흔들리지 않게, 조금 더 뜨겁게

나를 꼭 더 안아줘

넌 roller coaster, ooh ahh

Roller coaster, ooh ahh

I need your love, ooh ahh

Baby your love, love

빤히 바라볼 때 가슴이 떨려

아닌 척 해봐도 뻔히 다 걸려

내가 먼저 말하지 않아도 이미 다 알아

넌 내 맘과 같아, uh huh

너무 빠른 건 아닐까 싶어

근데 너 때문에 매일 새로워

조금 서툴러도 눈 감아줘 baby

I need your love, oh oh

I need your love, oh oh oh oh oh

시간이 멈춘 것처럼 달콤해

갑자기 날 떠날까 봐 걱정돼

처음부터 모든 걸 알 순 없겠지

하지만 난 다 던져볼래

자꾸 아찔한 이 느낌, 위험한 이 느낌

내 손을 꼭 잡아줘, I want you

흔들리지 않게, 조금 더 뜨겁게

나를 꼭 더 안아줘

넌 roller coaster, ooh ahh

Roller coaster, ooh ahh

I need your love, ooh ahh

Baby your love, love

어쩌다 찾아온 내 사랑

I love you, I love you whoa

모든 게 꿈이 아니기를

I love you, I love you

Look

넌 roller coaster, ooh ahh (넌 roller coaster babe)

Roller coaster, ooh ahh (roller coaster babe)

I need your love, ooh ahh (baby I need your love!)

Baby your love, love

Roller coaster
