• By: NewJeans

Lyrics & Translation

“Super Shy” by NewJeans offers a unique opportunity for language learners, particularly those focusing on Korean, as a significant portion of its lyrics are in English, making it accessible for beginners. The song's blend of liquid drum and bass, bubblegum pop, and Jersey club creates an irresistibly groovy and easy-listening experience, while its catchy hooks and relatively simple vocal delivery allow learners to focus on pronunciation and vocabulary without being overwhelmed by complex vocal acrobatics. Additionally, the song's accompanying music video, filmed in Lisbon, Portugal, provides visual context to the lyrics about a shy person expressing feelings to a crush, which can further aid comprehension.

[English]

Where? Where?

Where we've always wanted to go!

I’m super shy, super shy

But wait a minute while I

Make you mine, make you mine

I’m all nervous ’cause

You’re on my mind

All the time

I wanna tell you but I’m

Super shy, super shy

I’m super shy, super shy

But wait a minute while I

Make you mine, make you mine

I’m all nervous ’cause

You’re on my mind

All the time

I wanna tell you but I’m

Super shy, super shy

And I wanna go out with you

Where you wanna go? (Huh?)

Find a lil spot

Just sit and talk

Looking pretty

Follow me

You and I side by side

Can’t you see? (Look)

My eyes (heh)

Suddenly

Sparkle

When you say

I’m your dream

You don’t even know my name

Do ya?

You don’t even know my name

Do ya-a?

More than anyone

I’m super shy, super shy

But wait a minute while I

Make you mine, make you mine

I’m all shaky cause

You’re on my mind

All the time

I wanna tell you but I’m

Super shy, super shy

I’m super shy, super shy

But wait a minute while I

Make you mine, make you mine

I’m all nervous ‘cause

You’re on my mind

All the time

I wanna tell you but I’m

Super shy, super shy

I’m usually pretty talkative what’s wrong with me

I don’t like that

Something odd about you

Yeah you’re special and you know it

You’re the top babe

I’m super shy, super shy

But wait a minute while I

Make you mine, make you mine

I’m all nervous ‘cause

You’re on my mind

All the time

I wanna tell you but I’m

Super shy, super shy

I’m super shy, super shy

But wait a minute while I

Make you mine, make you mine

I’m all shaky cause

You’re on my mind

All the time

I wanna tell you but I’m

Super shy, super shy

You don’t even know my name

Do ya?

You don’t even know my name

Do ya-a?

More than anyone

You don’t even know my name

Do ya?

You don’t even know my name

Do ya-a?
