[English]

I can't do this, I can't either

...

Just watching over us, ba-ba-ba-baby

Every day I only imagine and say your name, baby

It's still something we haven't figured out

Anything I wear is beautiful

Just the two of us doing a fashion show, show

This time, I really, really must talk first, talk, talk

It's just a promise, just a vow every time

Na na na na na na

A hum escapes, and before I know it

It feels like tears might fall

No, this doesn’t feel right, I feel like I’m not myself

I love you so much

I think I’ve already grown up

Then why is it my heart?

Why can’t I do as I want?

The more I try to push away

The more I get pulled in, why do I keep getting drawn, baby

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Unaware of how I feel, you’re so unfair, so unfair

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Tell me you’ll be my baby

Say I’m crazy

Say I don’t match my face

None of it helps, ba-ba-ba-baby

I feel like I’m going crazy, why now

...

My stomach’s hungry again

I keep eating all day long

Mmm, mmm, mmm, only innocent dolls get hit

Sitting all day then lying down

Time flies so fast

Why is my skin so dull again?

I want to keep being annoyed

Mom keeps bothering me, why, why, why, why, why

Na na na na na na

A hum escapes, and before I know it

It feels like I might get annoyed or angry

I’m not like this at all

I love you so much

I think I’ve already grown up

Then why is it my heart?

Why can’t I do as I want?

The more I try to push away

The more I get pulled in, why do I keep getting drawn, baby

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Unaware of how I feel, you’re so unfair, so unfair

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Tell me that you’d be my baby

Do you even know about this me?

I can't disappear like this (no, I can't)

This time, I really, really, must talk first, talk, talk

It’s just a promise, just a vow every time

...

I think I’ve already grown up

Then why is it my heart?

...

Why can’t I do as I want?

The more I try to push away

The more I get pulled in, why do I keep getting drawn, baby

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Unaware of how I feel, you’re so unfair, so unfair

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Tell me that you’d be my baby

[Japanese]

이러지도 못하는데 저러지도 못하네

그저 바라보며 ba-ba-ba-baby

매일 상상만 해 이름과 함께 쓱 말을 놨네 baby

아직 우린 모르는 사인데

아무거나 걸쳐도 아름다워

거울 속 단 둘이서 하는 Fashion show show

이번에 정말 꼭꼭 내가 먼저 talk talk

다짐 뿐인걸 매번 다짐 뿐인걸

나나나나나나나

콧노래가 나오다가 나도 몰래

눈물 날 것 같애

아닌 것 같애 내가 아닌 것 같애

I love you so much

이미 난 다 컸다고 생각하는데

어쩌면 내 맘인데 왜

내 맘대로 할 수 없는건 왜

밀어내려고 하면 할수록

자꾸 끌려 왜 자꾸 자꾸 끌려 baby

I'm like TT

Just like TT

이런 내 맘 모르고 너무해 너무해

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Tell me that you'd be my baby

어처구니 없다고 해

얼굴 값을 못한대

전혀 위로 안돼 ba-ba-ba-baby

미칠 것 같애 이 와중에 왜

배는 또 고픈 건데

하루 종일 먹기만 하는데

맴매매매 아무 죄도 없는 인형만 때찌

종일 앉아있다가 엎드렸다

시간이 획획획

피부는 왜 이렇게 또 칙칙

자꾸 틱틱 거리고만 싶지

엄만 귀찮게 계속 왜왜왜왜왜

나나나나나나나

콧노래가 나오다가 나도 몰래

짜증날 것 같애 화날 것 같애

이런 애가 아닌데

I love you so much

이미 난 다 컸다고 생각하는데

어쩌면 내 맘인데 왜

내 맘대로 할 수 없는 건 왜

밀어내려고 하면 할수록

자꾸 끌려 왜 자꾸 자꾸 끌려 baby

I'm like TT

Just like TT

이런 내 맘 모르고 너무해 너무해

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Tell me that you'd be my baby

혹시 이런 나를 알까요

이대로 사라져 버리면 안돼요(안돼요)

이번엔 정말 꼭꼭 내가 먼저 talk talk

다짐 뿐인걸 매번 다짐 뿐인걸

이미 난 다 컸다고 생각하는데

어쩌면 내 맘인데 왜

내 맘대로 할 수 없는 건 왜

밀어내려고 하면 할수록

자꾸 끌려 왜 자꾸 자꾸 끌려 baby

I'm like TT

Just like TT

이런 내 맘 모르고 너무해 너무해

I'm like TT

Just like TT

Tell me that you'd be my baby
