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
