[English]

Everything I want to do

It's my nature to have to do things

The world's rules just don't fit me

Na na na na, I

I'm fine, you know

Blah blah blah

What's so weird about it?

If you're told not to

I just want to do more

Doing this and that

The only answer is refusal

Na na na na, I

I don't care

Blah blah blah

I'll do whatever I want

All the usual stuff? No thanks

Still, my heart matters most

There’s not just one right answer, ah

I love my bad bad habit

Predictable cliches, hate them

I prefer it over wholesome looks

The weird stuff draws me more

Love my bad bad habit

Without caring about others' cues

Shout it out and we go loud

Let's make a special mistake

Whatever they say, I don't know? Sorry, I don't get it

Ah, I don't know

Na na na na, I

I don't care

Blah blah blah

I'll do whatever I want

Got it, darling, thanks for the worry

Ah but honestly, my heart matters most

There isn’t just one right answer, ah

I love my bad bad habit

Predictable cliches, hate them

I’d rather than good looks

The odd things attract me more

Love my bad bad habit

Without caring about others' cues

Shout it out and we go loud

Let's make a special mistake

We don't hesitate

We don't look back no more

In my hesitant heart

Let's light it up more

Love my bad bad habit

A weird wrong answer—that's me

Even if you point fingers

I just shout even louder

Love my bad bad habit

Predictable cliches, hate them

I rather than the wholesome gaze

The strange draws me more

Love my bad bad habit

Without caring about others' cues

Shout it out and we go loud

Let's make a special mistake

...

[Korean]

하고픈 건 다

해야 하는 성격

세상의 공식은 내겐 안 맞음

Na na na na 난

괜찮은데 말야

Blah blah blah

뭐가 이상하니 왜?

하지 말라면

더 하고 싶을 뿐임

이러쿵 저러쿵

대답은 거절뿐임

Na na na na 난

상관없단 말야

Blah blah blah

내 맘대로 할 거야

흔하디 흔한 건 다 No thanks

그래도 말야 내 맘이 제일

정답은 하나가 아냐 Ah

I love my bad bad habit

뻔한 클리셰 Hate it

착한 시선보다 난

묘한 게 더 끌리는 걸

Love my bad bad habit

더 크게 외칠 뿐

Love my bad bad habit

뻔한 클리셰 Hate it

Love my bad bad habit

눈치 볼 것 없이

Shout it out and we go loud
