[English]

I'm going crazy like this, the gentle and kind me

Because of you, I'm turning into a harsh version of myself

I cast another spell on a doll that resembles you

I wish she would break away, oh

Every night, I'll be with you

Do you love her? Do you love her?

Every day in your dreams

Do you love me? Do you love me?

Bring, bring, bring you to me

I'll do anything, I'll do even more

In my spinning fantasy

I'll bet everything, I'll have you, I'll have you

I can't stand it anymore, I'm losing my mind like this

Why is it that you, of all people, are stuck in my heart?

I cast another spell on a torn photo

I wish she would fall away, oh

Every night, I'll be with you

Do you love her? Do you love her?

Every day in your dreams

Do you love me? Do you love me?

Bring, bring, bring you to me

I'll do anything, I'll do even more

In my spinning fantasy

I'll bet everything, I'll have you, I'll have you

I'm in the Voodoo Island

A plan to get you back

Every day like this, the last step towards you that makes me cry, yeah-yeah

Holding her hand, kissing her

I don't even want to imagine you like that

I pour my wishes into this spell

La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la-la

La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la La-la-la-la

Abracadabra, let it all come true

Let's go, uh-uh-uh-uh, ha-ha-ha-ha

Yeah, cast a spell on me

I'm like a supervisor

A Kaiser controlling you

You can't escape from me

Bring, bring, bring you to me

I'll do anything, I'll do even more

In my spinning fantasy

I'll bet everything, I'll have you, I'll have you

I'm going crazy like this, the gentle and kind me

Because of you, I'm turning into a harsh version of myself

I'm amazed at how I pretend to be cool, this is me

Pretending not to, I go to meet you again, again

...

[Korean]

이러다 미쳐 내가 여리여리 착하던 그런 내가

너 때문에 돌아 내가 독한 나로 변해 내가

너를 닮은 인형에다 주문을 또 걸어 내가

그녀와 찢어져 달라고, 고

Every night, I'll be with you

Do you love her? Do you love her?

매일 너의 꿈속에

Do you love me? Do you love me?

Bring, bring 너를 내게 가져다 줘

뭐라도 난 하겠어, 더한 것도 하겠어

빙빙 도는 나의 Fantasy에

모든 걸 걸겠어 널 내가 내가 갖겠어

못 참아 더는 내가 이러다가 정신을 놓쳐 내가

도대체 왜 너란 애가 내 마음에 박혀 네가

찢겨진 사진에다 주문을 또 걸어 내가

그녀가 떨어져 달라고, 고

Every night, I'll be with you

Do you love her? Do you love her?

매일 너의 꿈속에

Do you love me? Do you love me?

Bring, bring 너를 내게 가져다 줘

뭐라도 난 하겠어, 더한 것도 하겠어

빙빙 도는 나의 Fantasy에

모든 걸 걸겠어 널 내가 내가 갖겠어

I'm in the Voodoo Island

널 되찾기 위한 Plan

매일같이 이렇게 날 울린 널 향한 마지막 Step, yeah-yeah

그녀의 손을 잡고 그녀와 입을 맞추고

그런 너를 상상조차 하기 싫어

이 주문에 염원을 실어

La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la-la

La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la La-la-la-la

아브라카다브라 다 이뤄져라

Let's go, uh-uh-uh-uh, ha-ha-ha-ha

Yeah, 내게 주문을 걸어봐

I'm like a supervisor

널 통제하는 카이저

내게서 벗어날 수 없어 내게

Bring, bring 너를 내게 가져다 줘

뭐라도 난 하겠어, 더한 것도 하겠어

빙빙 도는 나의 Fantasy에

모든 걸 걸겠어 널 내가 내가 갖겠어

이러다 미쳐 내가 여리여리 착하던 그런 내가

너 때문에 돌아 내가 독한 나로 변해 내가

쿨한 척 하는 내가 놀라워라 이런 내가

아닌 척 널 만나러 가 또, 또
