[English]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, uh, oh

(I need a Cha Cha Beat boy)

멍하니 생각해 우린 지금

어디로 가는지 (Yeah, yeah)

다음 신호가 바뀌는 길 끝에선

Just about to take off (Uh)

상상을 해 감히

오늘 밤엔 부디

내게 맘을 열어

너를 위한 (너를 위한)

쉼터가 돼줄게 (Yeah)

널 닮은 도시의 밤

화려한 듯해도 (Yeah) 쓸쓸한 거리

엉켜버린 네 맘

따라 나간 낯선 길

Tell me how you want it

Tell me how you need it

시간은 충분해

저 하늘 속으로 dive

밤에 젖어 들어가

Baby, we can stay up

너를 내게 던져

Baby, we can stay up

가장 깊은 곳까지 fall in love

거릴 좁혀 들어가

닿을 듯한 입술 (닿을 듯한 입술)

완벽해 넌

텅빈 네 맘 내가 모두 채워줄게

나로 가득차게

No sleep tonight

We makin' love

Until the sun shines down on us

No sleep tonight

We makin' love until the sun (Yeah)

Baby, lay back (Back) 눈을 감아 (Ay)

달콤한 너에게 취해볼래 (Uh)

부드럽게 탐색할게 (Yeah)

We can go on and on tonight

Girl, I know you want it

And I know you need it

필연적인 너와 나

Meant to be Bonnie & Clyde

내일은 없어 tonight

Baby, we can stay up

너를 내게 던져

Baby, we can stay up

가장 깊은 곳까지 fall in love, in love

거릴 좁혀 들어가

닿아버린 입술 (닿아버린 입술)

완벽해 넌

텅빈 네 맘 내가 모두 채워줄게

나로 가득해

훔친 차처럼 빨리 몰아

다쳐도 좋아 오늘 너랑

걱정 마 아무도 몰라

검은색 밴 위로 올라

파파라치들에겐 먹이

없어 난 보기보다 겁이

다행히 오늘 공긴 foggy

Come closer to me

Window's tinted with

준비된 음악은 Lionel Richie

I gotta hit you with so many hits

이런 음악에는 고민이 있지

Baby, gotta stay up late

아침이 돼도 안 까먹게

뮤지션 이름 외웠네

What's my name?

Baby, we can stay up

너를 내게 던져 (너를 내게 던져)

Baby, we can stay up

가장 깊은 곳까지 fall in love, in love

아슬한 경계의 사이

넘지 못한 선을 넘어

완벽히 하나가 돼

아침이 와도 계속 we'll go on and on

On and on and on

On and on

On and on

On and on

...
