[English]

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

Still savoring the tenderness you once gave me.

I take a gentle sip of this rich, tempting flavor.

You have everything I like in you.

...

You loved so much that you even promised me.

A sweet honeyed life for me.

Add a cream ball and I’ll stir shyly.

Turn up the sweetness then hold hands.

Your love is so abundant, I want to carry it with me.

Whenever I miss you, I take a bite.

Feeling warm and loved.

But worried it might cool down and I’d ask for more.

I taste the cream sliding in your words.

Every phrase I hear tastes so yummy, oh yeah.

Skipping all the extra scenes.

In your eyes, it’s only me.

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

Still savoring the tenderness you once gave me.

I take a gentle sip of this rich, tempting flavor.

You have everything I like in you.

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

I can’t bear to eat the smiling candies.

A small sip, not much in amount.

But I absorb all your love entirely.

...

I smile letting the aroma linger.

Our fate has brought us here, and I won’t leave.

Like a filling between cookie layers, sweet at the core.

Keep going without needing a reason.

I taste the cream sliding in your words.

Every phrase I hear tastes so yummy, oh yeah.

Skipping all the extra scenes.

In your eyes, it’s only me (it’s only me). Oh oh.

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

Still savoring the tenderness you once gave me.

I take a gentle sip of this rich, tempting flavor.

You have everything I like in you.

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

I can’t bear to eat the smiling candies.

A small sip, not much in amount.

But I absorb all your love entirely.

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

Still savoring the tenderness you once gave me.

I take a gentle sip of the rich, flavorful taste.

You have everything I like in you.

I take a gentle sip of the love you speak of.

I can’t bear to eat the smiling candies.

A small sip, not much in amount.

But I absorb all your love entirely.

[Chinese]

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

還在回味妳給過的溫柔

我輕輕的嚐一口 這香濃的誘惑

我喜歡的樣子妳都有

妳愛過頭竟然答應我

要給我蜂蜜口味的生活

加一顆奶球我攪拌害羞

將甜度調高 後再牽手

妳的愛太多想 隨身帶走

想妳的時候就吃上一口

我溫熱著被呵護的感受

卻又擔心降溫了要求

我嚐著妳話裡面的奶油溜啊溜

聽過的每句話都很可口呦啊呦

那些多餘的畫面全被跳過

妳的眼中只有我

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

還在回味妳給過的溫柔

我輕輕的嚐一口 這香濃的誘惑

我喜歡的樣子妳都有

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

不捨得吃會微笑的糖果

我輕輕的嚐一口 份量雖然不多

卻將你的愛完全吸收

我微笑著讓香味停留

緣份走到這也賴著不走

像夾心餅乾中間有甜頭

繼續下去不需要理由

我嚐著妳話裡面的奶油溜啊溜

聽過的每句話都很可口呦啊呦

那些多餘的畫面全被跳過

妳的眼中只有我（妳的眼中只有我）oh oh

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

還在回味妳給過的溫柔

我輕輕的嚐一口 這香濃的誘惑

我喜歡的樣子妳都有

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

捨不得吃會微笑的糖果

我輕輕的嚐一口 份量雖然不多

卻將妳的愛完全吸收

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

還在回味妳給過的溫柔

我輕輕的嚐一口 味道香濃的說

我喜歡的樣子妳都有

我輕輕的嚐一口 妳說的愛我

捨不得吃會微笑的糖果

我輕輕的嚐一口 份量雖然不多

卻將妳的愛完全吸收
