Hey HeyHey AOA

Hey HeyHey

Brave Sound (Drop it)

The way you look at me

You're not the same as before

I'm still worth something

So why do you treat me like an old, worn-out shoe, hey

I look so pretty no matter what I wear

I look so sexy even without showing too much

My dizzying high heels and black stockings

You won't be able to take your eyes off me (Don’t stop me)

Wearing a mini skirt

When I walk down the street, everyone looks at me

Wearing a mini skirt

But why is it only you who doesn’t notice me?

I’m a confident woman

So why do you make things hard for me?

You ignore only me

You never know where I might go

Even if I find time to get a manicure and change my hair

Wear new shoes and even try on a mini skirt for no reason

You don’t recognize me, why so indifferent, why?

Before other wolves bite me, snap out of it, boy

I look so pretty no matter what I wear

I look so sexy even without showing too much

My dizzying high heels and black stockings

You won’t be able to take your eyes off me (Don’t stop me)

Wearing a mini skirt

When I walk down the street, everyone looks at me

Wearing a mini skirt

But why is it only you who doesn’t notice me?

I’m a confident woman

So why do you make things hard for me?

You ignore only me

You never know where I might go

I'm getting more and more tired, even the way you look at me

I don’t understand why you’re so cold, but now I’m going to change, oh oh

I’m a confident woman

So why do you make things hard for me?

You ignore only me

You never know where I might go

Hey HeyHey AOA

Hey HeyHey

Brave Sound (Drop it)

날 바라보는 시선이

너는 예전 같지가 않은 걸

난 아직도 쓸만한데

너는 왜 날 헌 신 짝 보듯이 해 Hey

너무이뻐 보여 내가 뭐를 입던지

너무 섹시해 보여 굳이 노출 안 해도

아찔한 나의 하이힐 새까만 스타킹

도저히 눈을 뗄 수 없을 걸 (말리지마)

짧은 치마를 입고

내가 길을 걸으면 모두 나를 쳐다봐

짧은 치마를 입고

근데 왜 하필 너만 날 몰라주는데

당당한 여잔데

왜 나를 힘들게 해

넌 나만 무시해

어디로 튈지 몰라 나

시간 내 nail 받고 머릴 바꿔봐도

새 구두 신고 괜히 짧은 치말 입어 봐도

넌 몰라봐 왜 무덤덤해 왜

딴 늑대들이 날 물어가기 전에 그만 정신 차려 boy

너무이뻐 보여 내가 뭐를 입던지

너무 섹시해 보여 굳이 노출 안 해도

아찔한 나의 하이힐 새까만 스타킹

도저히 눈을 뗄 수 없을 걸 (말리지마)

짧은 치마를 입고

내가 길을 걸으면 모두 나를 쳐다봐

짧은 치마를 입고

근데 왜 하필 너만 날 몰라주는데

당당한 여잔데

왜 나를 힘들게 해

넌 나만 무시해

어디로 튈지 몰라 나

난 점점 지쳐가 날 바라보는 그 눈빛마저도

왜 그리 차가운지 모르겠어 이제 변할 거야 oh oh

당당한 여잔데

왜 나를 힘들게 해

넌 나만 무시해

어디로 튈지 몰라 나
