[English]

La la la la la la la la la la la

You won't see no tears ruin our makeup

Put away those worries caught in illusions

Even if you open that door and vanish

Doesn't matter

No we don't have time

Boring lies

Just be quiet

'Cause it's bad girl o' clock

So sit down and watch

Yeah this is what we are

Wake up and stop

We're everything you're not

This one goes out to the girls

My sisters all over the world

This one goes out to the girls

All messed up and ready to burn

Tasting that sugar so sweet

We're harder than steel

Freaking unreal

This one goes out to the girls

This one goes out to the girls

We're sick of your talk

All we hear is blah (blah, blah, blah)

So go bite your tongue

And say no more

And all those cliché tales in pointless fantasies

Now we're fed up

No we don't have time

Same old lies

Just be quiet

This one goes out to the girls

My sisters all over the world

This one goes out to the girls

All messed up and ready to burn

Tasting that sugar so sweet

We're harder than steel

Freaking unreal

This one goes out to the girls

This one goes out to the girls

Tick tock doesn't stop

Tick tock our time

Just sit down and watch

'Cause nothing can make us stop

Tick tock keep moving forward

Tick tock we shine even brighter

Stop the delusions

We're everything you're not

This one goes out to the girls

My sisters all over the world

This one goes out to the girls

All messed up and ready to burn

Tasting that sugar so sweet

We're harder than steel

Freaking unreal

This one goes out to the girls

This one goes out to the girls

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

[Korean]

La la la la la la la la la la la

You won't see no tears ruin our makeup

착각 속에 빠진 걱정은 거둬

저 문을 열고 네가 사라져도

Doesn't matter

No We don't have time

지루한 거짓말

Just be quiet

'Cause it's bad girl o' clock

So sit down and watch

Yeah This is what we are

깨어나 그만

We're everything you're not

This one goes out to The Girls

My sisters all over the world

This one goes out to The Girls

All messed up and ready to burn

Tasting that sugar so sweet

We're harder than steel

Freaking unreal

This one goes out to The Girls

This one goes out to The Girls

We're sick of your talk

All we hear is blah (blah, blah, blah)

So go bite your tongue

And say no more

헛된 상상 속 뻔한 얘기들도

Now we're fed up

No We don't have time

여전한 거짓말

Just be quiet

This one goes out to The Girls

My sisters all over the world

This one goes out to The Girls

All messed up and ready to burn

Tasting that sugar so sweet

We're harder than steel

Freaking unreal

This one goes out to The Girls

This one goes out to The Girls

Tick tock 멎지 않아

Tick tock 우리의 시간

Just sit down and watch

'Cause nothing can make us stop

Tick tock 계속 나아가

Tick tock 우린 더 빛나

착각은 그만

We're everything you're not

This one goes out to The Girls

My sisters all over the world

This one goes out to The Girls

All messed up and ready to burn

Tasting that sugar so sweet

We're harder than steel

Freaking unreal

This one goes out to The Girls

This one goes out to The Girls

La la la la la la la la la la la
