Something 'bout you

Got me dreamin' 'bout you

잠이 와도

눈에 불을 켠 듯

Lookin' so good

Got me swimmin' in you

바쁜 듯하더니 저번엔

Ooh

밤이 올것 같은데

뭐가 그리 또 바쁜데

Wait

이젠 어지러운 듯해

금방 잠에 들 듯해

방에 불을 꺼둘게

Baby wait wait wait wait

Wait

Baby why you skip my text

내게 뭘 바랬길래

나는 또 기다릴게

Baby wait wait wait wait

굴지마 애매하게

That sh got me so bad yuh

덕분에 길 잃었지

날 돌려놔 제자리로

I should let this go

I put my love on hold

더 어떻게 해

참 사람 헷갈리게 해

Ooh

종일 왔다갔다 하지 pinball

우리 관계 생각보다 is it that simple?

I been hopin' it's the same tho

그러니 내일 꼭

아무말이나 just say sum say sum

Ooh

밤이 올것 같은데

뭐가 그리 또 바쁜데

Wait

이젠 어지러운 듯해

금방 잠에 들 듯해

방에 불을 꺼둘게

Baby wait wait wait wait

Wait

Baby why you skip my text

내게 뭘 바랬길래

나는 또 기다릴게

Baby wait wait wait wait
