[English]

Yeah, let’s go

Yeah, yeah

Yeah I walked right in

The moment I pass by, everyone’s my friend

Greeting me here and there, yeah yeah

I just naturally know, give me space

Always like this, my face stands out

Don’t glare at me, this isn’t a race

No matter what they say, being ordinary is boring

Do whatever I want (Do it my way)

Even if they say I’m immature, if it’s fun, that’s okay

Not enough, want more

To the eyes on me, “Hate me?”

No matter what they say, can’t change me

I like it just the way I am now

When I’m being myself, I’m more dazzling than anyone

I’ve been actin’ too

RUDE!

Back and forth, no rule

A pretty shameless attitude

(I’m not bad)

You can’t make me act right

RUDE!

I don’t care, this is who I am

Dancing however I please

(Follow along)

You can’t make me act right

Shh, no, even louder, yuh

Should I scream it out? Yuh

Time is always so tight

A world without adults

Today I’ll find it, that’s my type

Come on, shall we make eye contact?

Throw away the worrying for a moment

We living that good life, good life

The more natural, the better

More naturally

Hesitation is never

Do what you're drawn to

When I’m being myself, I’m more dazzling than anyone

I’ve been actin’ too

RUDE!

Back and forth, no rule

A pretty shameless attitude

(I’m not bad)

You can’t make me act right

RUDE!

I don’t care, this is who I am

Dancing however I please

(Follow along)

You can’t make me act right

♫

Move to my own beat

♫

Make me act right

♫

Move to my own beat

♫

Acting too rude, uh

Even my sharp tone

And my unfiltered expressions

Just being honest

Feel so cool

Envious eyes everywhere

Don’t call me darling

I’m too rude!

You know what he said to me? (What?)

He was like,

“You are so rude”

And I was like,

“Boy, does it look like I could care?

I couldn’t even care less!”

RUDE!

Back and forth, no rule

A pretty shameless attitude

(I’m not bad)

You can’t make me act right

RUDE!

I don’t care, this is who I am

Dancing however I please

You can’t make me act right

♫

Move to my own beat

스치는 순간 모두가 My friend

여기저기서 인사를 건네 Yeah yeah

다 자연스럽게 알아 Give me space

언제나 그래 눈에 띌 My face

흘겨보지 마 이건 No race

철이 없대도 재밌으면 That’s okay

Not enough want more

날 향한 시선에 “Hate me?”

쉿, 아니 더 Loud yuh

소리 질러 볼까 Yuh

늘 시간은 So tight

어른이 없는 세상

오늘은 찾아 That’s my type

자, 눈 맞춰 볼까

미리 걱정하는 건 버려 잠깐

We living that good life, good life

꾸밈 없을수록 Better

더 자연스럽게

망설임은 Never

이끌린 대로 해
