[English]

Girl, I want you to understand

The masterplan between you and me

Taste it sweetly

One bite and "That's it"

Cleanly distancing

Never let the cream drip

Oh girl, too hot

Cool down your heart

Ice cream

Swallowing too fast will make you sick

I scream

A headache, a total brain freeze

Ice cream

After things heat up, it'll just melt away

Ice cream

Keep it cool enough

That's rule No. 1

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Being too serious is a nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Let's just enjoy it, chow down down

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Being too serious is a nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, coolin' off

Let's just enjoy it, chow down down

Neither too close nor too far

Let's keep it ambiguous

I'm tired of all the bickering

No more stress from now on

Letting go effortlessly

Being romantic when we're together

When we keep this distance

I'll be your ice cream

Oh girl, too hot

Cool down your heart

Ice cream

Swallowing too fast will make you sick

I scream

A headache, a total brain freeze

Ice cream

After things heat up, it'll just melt away

Ice cream

Keep it cool enough

That's rule No. 1

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Being too serious is a nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Let's just enjoy it, chow down down

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Being too serious is a nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, coolin' off

Let's just enjoy it, chow down down

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Being too serious is a nah nah nah

[Korean]

Girl, I want you to understand

너와 내 사이의 masterplan

달콤하게 taste it

한입 하곤 "That's it"

깔끔한 distancing

Never let the cream drip

Oh girl, too hot

식혀 네 마음

Ice cream

급하게 삼킴 탈이 날걸

I scream

두통 가득 brain freeze

Ice cream

불붙은 담엔 녹고 말걸

Ice cream

Keep it cool enough

That's rule No. 1

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

진지한 건 nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

즐기자고 chow down down

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

진지한 건 nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, coolin' off

즐기자고 chow down down

가깝지도 멀지도 않게

Let's keep it 애매하게

지겨워 아웅다웅은

이제는 no more stress

떨어짐 쿨하게

함께일 땐 로맨틱하게

이 거릴 지킬 때

네 ice cream이 난 돼 줄게

Oh girl, too hot

식혀 네 마음

Ice cream

급하게 삼킴 탈이 날걸

I scream

두통 가득 brain freeze

Ice cream

불붙은 담엔 녹고 말걸

Ice cream

Keep it cool enough

That's rule No. 1

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

진지한 건 nah nah nah

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

즐기자고 chow down down

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

Coolin' off, coolin' off, coolin' off

즐기자고 chow down down

Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun

진지한 건 nah nah nah
