Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Yeah

Mm, mm

Talk to me, talk to me

Why aren't my texts going through tonight?

I'm getting anxious, I need you here with me

Because I'm not okay on my own, not okay on my own, ooh

Baby, pick up the phone, I miss hearing your voice, ooh

Now I'm remembering everything, whoa

I feel like it's on repeat

Every sound, every word, like a DJ, ah, yeah

It would be easier if you just said you care, no, no

Now I have to relive

All the times you hurt me, no, no

If we switched places, would you still prioritize me? Oh

Why can't you just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me?

Baby, know you can talk to me

You don't have to push me away, push me away, push me away

Trust me, you don't have to push me away

I'll always love you, I've been here all along, don't be so secretive

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me

Talk to me, talk to me

We were friends first, don't lie, I can see it in your eyes

Just call me right now

Give me a break, I'm not that naive, ah, yeah

I felt everything, over time, I overthink

I can see right through you (uh-huh)

A woman's intuition is never wrong, no

I feel like it's on repeat (replay)

Every sound, every word, like a DJ, ah, yeah (ah, yeah)

It would be easier if you just said you care, no, no (that you care, no, no)

Now I have to relive (ah, yeah)

All the times you hurt me, no, no (no, no)

If we switched places, would you still prioritize me? Oh

Why can't you just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me?

Baby, know you can talk to me

You don't have to push me away, push me away, push me away

Trust me, you don't have to push me away

I'll always love you (ah), I've been here all along (ah), don't be so secretive (oh, secretive)

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me

Talk to me, talk to me (yeah)

Yes, I have a few questions, don't ignore me

You're supposed to be my man, the one I adore

I gave you everything, so tell me what's going on, oh yeah

If you're acting up, I promise I'll find out

Hello?

Why can't you just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me?

Baby, know you can talk to me

You don't have to push me away, push me away, push me away (you don't have to push me away, no)

Trust me, you don't have to push me away (yeah, no, no, no)

I'll always love you (down), I've been here all along ('round), don't be so secretive (ooh)

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me (talk)

(Talk to me, talk to me, baby) talk to me, talk to me

...

[Korean]

Yeah

Mm, mm

Talk to me, talk to me

Why my messages ain't going through tonight?

Got me panicking, I want you by my side

'Cause I'm not better alone, not better alone, ooh

Baby, pick up the phone, I'm missing your tone, ooh

Now I'm having flashbacks, whoa

I feel like I'm on replay

Every sound, every word, like a DJ, ah, yeah

Easier to just say that you care, no, no

Now I gotta replay

All the times that you went and did me dirty, no, no

If the roles were reversed, would you still put me first? Oh

Why can't you just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me?

Baby, know that you can talk

You ain't gotta walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk on me

Trust me, you ain't gotta walk

Always gon' love you down, stuck around, don't be acting shady

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk to me

Talk to me, talk to me

We were friends, first of all, don't you lie, read your eyes

Call me right to ya

Just cut me some slack, ain't stupid like that, ah, yeah

I could feel everything, over time, overthink

I can see through ya (uh-huh)

A woman's intuition ain't never wrong, no

I feel like I'm on replay (replay)

Every sound, every word, like a DJ, ah, yeah (ah, yeah)

Easier to just say that you care, no, no (that you care, no, no)

Now I gotta replay (ah, yeah)

All the times that you went and did me dirty, no, no (no, no)

If the roles were reversed, would you still put me first? Oh

Key Grammar Structures

• Got me panicking, I want you by my side

  ➔ Present Participle Clause as Adverbial Clause

  ➔ The phrase "Got me panicking" functions as an adverbial clause, modifying the main clause. It describes *how* the speaker feels. The structure uses a past participle ('got') followed by the present participle ('panicking').

• If the roles were reversed, would you still put me first? Oh

  ➔ Third Conditional

  ➔ This is a hypothetical situation in the past. The structure is: 'If + past perfect, would + have + past participle'. It explores what *would have happened* if the situation had been different.

• You're supposed to be the man for me, the one I adore

  ➔ Modal Verb 'be supposed to'

  ➔ "Be supposed to" expresses an expectation or obligation. Here, it means the speaker *expects* the person to be reliable and supportive – the 'man for me'.

• I feel like I'm on replay

  ➔ Use of 'like' as a preposition introducing a noun clause

  ➔ The word "like" here isn't a verb, but a preposition. It introduces the noun clause "I'm on replay", meaning the speaker feels as if their experiences are repeating.
