Lyrics & Phonetic Romanization
Ah, ah-ah
First time 눈이 마주친 순간
First time nun-i ma-ju-chin sun-gan
어질어질한 이 공간
eo-jil-eo-jil-han i gong-gan
꿈속인지 헷갈려 숨이 차올라
kkum-sok-in-ji hes-gal-ryeo sum-i cha-ol-ra
조금 더 가까이 다가와 천천히
jo-geum deo ga-kka-i da-ga-wa cheon-cheon-hi
Can you make me feel like a diamond? Uh
But what the uh
다른 애들과는 달라, ain't beggin' for love
da-reun ae-deul-gwa-neun dal-ra, ain't beggin' for love
나쁜 건 아니잖아, 이게 나라서
na-ppeun geon a-ni-jan-a, i-ge na-ra-seo
어디로 튈지 몰라, like rainbow bubble gum
eo-di-ro twil-ji mol-ra, like rainbow bubble gum
그러니 날 꽉 붙잡아둬
geu-reo-ni nal kkwak but-jap-a-dwo
알아 나도 well about myself
al-a na-do well about myself
쉽지 않단 걸, you might want some help
swip-ji an-dan geol, you might want some help
You wanna try, but not tonight
So I'ma call my friend up, take off my makeup
I'ma sleep good tonight, okay
I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
다 원해 원해 원해? 서두르지 마, baby
da won-hae won-hae won-hae? seo-du-reu-ji ma, baby
뻔해, 뻔해, 말해 뭐해, 다 알 텐데
ppeon-hae, ppeon-hae, mal-hae mwo-hae, da al ten-de
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
타는 듯 뜨거운 사막 위에
ta-neun deus tteu-geo-un sa-mak wi-e
예쁘게 피어난 장미 같아
ye-ppeu-ge pi-eo-nan jang-mi gat-a
조심스레 내게 다가올 때
jo-sim-seu-re nae-ge da-ga-ol ttae
나도 모르게 찔러버릴 텐데
na-do mo-reu-ge jjil-reo-beo-ril ten-de
긴장이 필요한 순간이야
gin-jang-i pil-yo-han sun-gan-i-ya
정신을 놓지 마, 지금이야
jeong-sin-eul not-ji ma, ji-geum-i-ya
궁금하잖아, 전화기를 들어
gung-geum-ha-jan-a, jeon-hwa-gi-reul deul-eo
질문을 던져, 대답해줄게
jil-mun-eul deon-jyeo, dae-dap-hae-jul-ge
알아 나도 well about myself
al-a na-do well about myself
쉽지 않단 걸, you might want some help
swip-ji an-dan geol, you might want some help
You wanna try, but not tonight
So I'ma call my friend up, take off my makeup
I'ma sleep good tonight, okay
I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
다 원해 원해 원해? 서두르지 마, baby
da won-hae won-hae won-hae? seo-du-reu-ji ma, baby
뻔해, 뻔해, 말해 뭐해, 다 알 텐데
ppeon-hae, ppeon-hae, mal-hae mwo-hae, da al ten-de
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
Slow it down and speed it up like you a spaceship
Baby, later 남겨 줄게 my location
Baby, later nam-gyeo jul-ge my location
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
부족하다고 넌 느끼겠지만
bu-jok-ha-da-go neon neu-kki-gess-ji-man
기본에 충실한 태도일 뿐이야
gi-bon-e chung-sil-han tae-do-il ppun-i-ya
우리 둘 사이 팽팽한 긴장감
u-ri dul sa-i paeng-paeng-han gin-jang-gam
놓지 않는 게 더 좋단 걸 알아
not-ji an-neun ge deo jot-dan geol al-a
I know, it feels like you're paying the price
내 모든 것을 더는 바라지마
nae mo-deun geos-eul deo-neun ba-ra-ji-ma
So let's take it back
Oh, let's take it back
I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
다 원해 원해 원해? 서두르지 마, baby
da won-hae won-hae won-hae? seo-du-reu-ji ma, baby
뻔해, 뻔해, 말해 뭐해, 다 알 텐데
ppeon-hae, ppeon-hae, mal-hae mwo-hae, da al ten-de
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
I wanna, wanna, wanna, take it to the basics
Slow it down and speed it up like you a spaceship
Baby, later 남겨 줄게 my location
Baby, later nam-gyeo jul-ge my location
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
