Lyrics & Translation

[English]

똑바로 해, 넌 정말 bad boy

사랑보단 호기심뿐

그 동안 난, 너 땜에 깜빡

속아서 넘어간 거야

넌 재미없어, 매너 없어

넌 devil, devil, 넌, 넌

네 핸드폰 수많은 남잔

한 글자만 바꾼 여자

내 코까지 역겨운 perfume

누구 건지 설명해봐

넌 나 몰래 누굴 만나는 끔찍한 그 버릇 못 고쳤니

뛰어 봐도 손바닥 안인걸

You better run, run, run, run, run

더는 못 봐, 걷어차 줄래?

You better run, run, run, run, run

날 붙잡아도 관심 꺼둘래, hey

더 멋진 내가 되는 날 갚아주겠어, 잊지 마

You better run, run, run, run, run

딱 걸렸어, 약 올렸어 (hey)

Run, devil, devil, run, run

내 곁에서 살며시 흘깃

다른 여잘 꼭 훑어봐

나 없을 땐 넌 super playboy

고갤 들어, 대답해봐

넌 재미없어, 매너 없어

넌 devil, devil, 넌, 넌

You better run, run, run, run, run

더는 못 봐, 걷어차 줄래?

You better run, run, run, run, run

날 붙잡아도 관심 꺼둘래, hey

더 멋진 내가 되는 날 갚아주겠어, 잊지 마

You better run, run, run, run, run

딱 걸렸어, 약 올렸어 (hey)

Run, devil, devil, run, run (hey, hey)

넌 재미없어, 매너 없어 (hey)

Run. devil, devil, run, run

얘 나 같은 애 어디도 없어

잔머리 굴려서 실망했어

난 걔네들 보다 더 대단해

너 그렇게 커서 뭐 될래?

까불지 말랬지

널 사랑해 줄 때 잘 하랬지

You better run, run, run, run, run

더는 못 봐, 걷어차 줄래

You better run, run, run, run, run

날 붙잡아도 관심 꺼둘래, hey

더 멋진 내가 되는 날 갚아주겠어, 잊지 마

You better run, run, run, run, run (you better, run, run, run)

이 넓은 세상 반은 남자 (hey)

너 하나 빠져봤자 (hey, hey)

꼭 나만 봐줄 멋진 남자 (hey)

난 기다릴래 혼자
