[English]

Who’s it for?

Because of a girl

Who’s it for?

Because of hormones

Who’s it for?

Ah yeah!

Thanks for just being there (really), I appreciate it

Call me, I’ll treat you to a meal

These days I feel crazy, like I’m losing it, coughing coughing

Women’s outfits are so revealing, they make me lose control

(Very clear) Thank you! It sharpened my vision

(Natural LASIK) No need to spend money

I’ll panic, I’ll be a fan

And I’ll be your man, you you you you babe

My eyes just keep moving to women’s hips (yup)

Women are like equations, and we guys are the solutions (yup)

Sweaty and nervous, I start to falter for no reason

Wear your heels higher, more heels

I’m already eighteen, I know everything

I know women are the best in the world

Yes, I’m a bad boy, so I like bad girls

Come here, baby

We’ll be okay

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

Tell me what you want right now

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

I’ll give it to you girl right now

Not that I’m the best, but you’re the top

My body twists up in front of you

I want to get closer, but you’re so stunningly beautiful

Women are the greatest gift, the greatest gift

My only wish is for you, only you

If it’s you, I’m okay, oh

I can’t control myself every day

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

From head to toe, the best, the best

La la la la la la la la la

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

La la la la la la la la la

From head to toe, the best, the best

La la la la la la la la la

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

La la la la la la la la la

Even her walk is top-notch

She’s worth a lot less than a penny, a few times I’ve been played

I’m not interested in girls who just play around and then leave

But watching you, I learn about body architecture

My testosterone levels are rising heavily

After fighting off hormones

Research, you’re cheating with that perfect thing, it’s a foul

When standards are so high, you’re too extreme, just on your own

You should be managed as a national cultural treasure

Her head, body, waist, legs—beyond words

As a guy, saying I don’t care is pretty unbelievable

A small gesture can make me fall for you, girl

Your seduction keeps me awake, guarding my spot on the computer every night

For her

Lady first

Is a woman just a cold iceberg?

Let it go

A female who drives me crazy

Stimulates me every day

Again today, after fighting hormones, I get acne

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

Tell me what you want right now

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

I’ll give it to you girl right now

Not that I’m the best, but you’re the top

My body twists up in front of you

I want to get closer, but you’re so stunningly beautiful

Women are the greatest gift, the greatest gift

My only wish is for you, only you

If it’s you, I’m okay, oh

I can’t control myself every day

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

From head to toe, the best, the best

(Because of a girl?) Because of women

(Because of a girl?) Because of hormones

(Because of a guy?) Because of women

(Because of guys?) Because of women

(Because of a girl?) Because of women

(Because of a girl?) Because of hormones

(Because of a girl?) Because of women

(Because of a guy?) Because of women

Women are the greatest gift, the greatest gift

My true wish is only for you, only for you (only you, yeah)

If it’s you, I’m okay, oh

I can’t control myself every day

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

From head to toe, the best, the best

La la la la la la la la la

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

La la la la la la la la la

From head to toe, the best, the best

La la la la la la la la la

Front view’s the best, back view’s the best

La la la la la la la la la

Even her walk is top-notch

[Korean]

누구 때문에?

여자 때문에

누구 때문에?

호르몬 때문에

누구 때문에?

Ah ye!

존재해 줘서 (참) 감사해

전화 좀 해줘 내가 (함) 밥 살게

아 요즘 미친 미친 거 같아 기침 기침

하게 만드는 여자들 옷차림 다 비침 비침

(베리 마취) 땡큐! 내 시력을 올려줘

(자연 라식) 돈 들일 필요 없어

I'll be in panic, I'll be a fan

And I'll be a man of you you you you babe

자꾸만 눈이 돌아가네 여자들의 배 (yup)

여자들은 방정식 우리 남자들은 해 (yup)

땀 삘삘 괜히 빌빌대게 돼

더 많이 좀 신어줘 하이힐 힐

나도 열여덟 알 건 다 알어

여자가 세계 최고란 것 말이여

Yes I'm a bad boy so I like bad girl

일루 와봐 baby

우린 잘 될 걸

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

Tell me what you want right now

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

Imma give it to you girl right now

내 껀 아니라지만 넌 최고

니 앞에서 배배 꼬이는 내 몸

네게 다가서고 싶지만 너무 심하게 아름다워

여자는 최고의 선물이야 선물이야

진짜 내 소원은 너 뿐이야 너 뿐이야

난 너라면 I'm ok oh

자제가 안돼 매일

앞태도 최고 뒤태도 최고

머리부터 발끝까지 최고 최고

La la la la la la la la la

머리부터 발끝까지 최고 최고

La la la la la la la la la

앞태도 최고 뒤태도 최고

La la la la la la la la la

걸음걸이 하나까지 최고 최고

어림 반푼 어치 없지 한두번씩

놀다 헤어질 여자들에겐 관심 없지

근데 널 보며 배워 body 건축학개론

묵직하게 증가하는 나의 테스토스테론

호르몬과의 싸움 이겨낸 다음

연구해 너란 존재는 반칙이야 파울

미적 기준이 바다면 넌 좀 심해 그 자체

국가 차원에서 관리해야 될 미형 문화재

그녀 머리 바디 허리 다리 말 못 하는 범위까지

관심 없단 말이 남자로선 많이 어이상실

작은 제스처 하나에도 뻑이 가지 girl

니 유혹에 밤마다 지켜 내 컴퓨터 자리

그녀를 위한

Lady first

여잔 차가운 빙산?

Let it go

날 미치게 하는 female

날 자극하지 매일

오늘도 호르몬과의 싸움 후 내 여드름을 째

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

Tell me what you want right now

Hello hello (what!)

Hello hello (what!)

Imma give it to you girl right now

내 껀 아니라지만 넌 최고

니 앞에서 배배 꼬이는 내 몸

네게 다가서고 싶지만 너무 심하게 아름다워

여자는 최고의 선물이야 선물이야

진짜 내 소원은 너뿐이야 너뿐이야

난 너라면 I'm ok oh

자제가 안돼 매일

앞태도 최고 뒤태도 최고

머리부터 발끝까지 최고 최고

(누구 때문에?) 여자 때문에

(누구 때문에?) 호르몬 때문에

(누구 때문에?) 남자기 때문에

(남자기 때문에?) 여자 때문에

(누구 때문에?) 여자 때문에

(누구 때문에?) 호르몬 때문에

(누구 때문에?) 여자 때문에

(남자기 때문에?) 여자 때문에

여자는 최고의 선물이야 선물이야

진짜 내 소원은 너뿐이야 너뿐이야 (너뿐이야 나)

난 너라면 I'm ok oh

자제가 안돼 매일

앞태도 최고 뒤태도 최고

머리부터 발끝까지 최고 최고

La la la la la la la la la
