[English]

All I know is now

I finally realized (I know)

All this time, always

Always up and down (No more)

Thinking and thinking

Spinnin’ ‘round and ‘round

Changing my mind

It's suspicious, isn't it?

This kind of nonsense (No more)

How it’s supposed to be

Stop it, 'cause it’s clear (It’s simple)

It’s like biting an apple

Toxic lover

You’re no better, don’t hide there, come out now

You little demon in my storyline

Don’t knock on my door, I’ll see you out

And don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

I won’t ask anymore

(How sweet it tastes)

You don’t even have to tell me

(How sweet it tastes)

Wow don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

Everything is typical

So I’ve been praying so hard for a miracle

Calling out my name

No more drama, it’s good karma

Done scrolling a thousand times

I know it all, it’s just an obvious trick

It’s a totally easy formula

It’s like biting an apple

And don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

I won’t ask anymore

(How sweet it tastes)

You don’t even have to tell me

(How sweet it tastes)

Wow don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

I won’t wait, I’m feeling

My own way, I’m in it

Cause me and you are different

So I won’t stay, I’m leaving

I won’t wait, I’m feeling

My own way, I’m in it

Cause me and you are different

So I won’t stay, I’m leaving

And don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

I won’t ask anymore

(How sweet it tastes)

You don’t even have to tell me

(How sweet it tastes)

Wow don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

Toxic lover

You’re no better, don’t hide there, come out now

You little demon in my storyline

Don’t knock on my door, just get out of here

Toxic lover

You’re no better, don’t hide there, come out now

You little demon in my storyline

Don’t knock on my door, I’ll see you out

[Korean]

All I know is now

알게 됐어 나 (I know)

그동안 맨날

Always up and down (No more)

생각 또 생각

Spinnin’ ‘round and ‘round

Changing my mind

수상해서 그렇지

이런 헛소리 (No more)

How it’s supposed to be

그만해 cus it’s clear (It’s simple)

It’s like biting an apple

Toxic lover

You’re no better, 거기 숨지 말고 얼른 나와

You little demon in my storyline

Don’t knock on my door, I’ll see you out

And don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

(How sweet it tastes)

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

나 더는 묻지 않을래

(How sweet it tastes)

알려주지 않아도 돼

(How sweet it tastes)

Wow don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Now that I’m without you

모든 게 typical

So I’ve been praying so hard for a miracle

부르고 있어 나의 이름을

더는 안 봐 drama it’s good karma

Done scrolling thousand times

다 알고 있어 뻔한 수작일 뿐이야

완전 쉬운 공식이야

It’s like biting an apple

And don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Ya don’t you know how sweet it tastes

Toxic lover

You’re no better, 거기 숨지 말고 얼른 나와

You little demon in my storyline

Don’t knock on my door, I’ll see you out
