[English]

Don't want you, need you

Yeah, I need you to fill me up

지금 당장 날 봐 시간 없잖아

넌 내꺼야 이미 알고 있잖아

'Cause I need you to need me

I'm empty, you feed me so refreshing

My little soda pop

You're all I can think of

Every drop I drink up

You're my soda pop

My little soda pop

Cool me down, you're so hot

Pour me up, I won't stop

You're my soda pop

My little soda pop

My little soda pop
