Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah 시작해 볼까?
어-머, 얘 좀 봐라 얘, 무슨 일이 있었길래 머릴 잘랐대, 응?
어-머, 또 얘 좀 보라고, 머리부터 발끝까지 스타일이 바뀌었어
왜 그랬대, 궁금해 죽겠네 왜 그랬대, 말해 봐봐 좀
Ha-ha, let me introduce myself!
Here comes trouble, 따라 해!
지가 뭔데, 웃겨 너무 콧대 센 거 아니, 나보고 평범하단다 얘
어, 그 남자 완전 맘에 들었나 봐!
말도 안돼, 말도 안돼!
너무 예뻐지고 섹시해 졌어 그 남자 때문이지?
물어볼 뻔 했다니까, 너 바꾼 화장품이 뭔지
사실 나, 처음 봤어 상처 입은 야수 같은 깊은 눈
얘기만 해도 어질 했다니까?
너 잘났어 정말, 잘났어 정말!
오 오오 예 오 (hey girl listen), 오오 예 오 너 잘났다 정말!
오 오오 예 오 (Hey!), 오 오오 예 오 (나나나 Hey!) 너 잘났어 정말!
Ayo, stop, let me put it down another way
I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한!
I got a boy handsome boy 내 맘 다 가져간
I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한!
I got a boy awesome boy 완전 반했나 봐
아 내 왕자님, 언제 이 몸을 구하러 와 주실 텐가요?
하얀 꿈처럼 날 품에 안아 올려 날아가 주시겠죠?
나, 깜짝, 멘붕이야, 그 사람은 내 민 낯이 궁금하대.
완전 맘에 들어 못 이긴 척 보여줘도 괜찮을까?
오우, 절대로 안되지, 그치, 그치?
우리, 지킬 건 지키자, 맞지, 맞지!
그의 맘을 모두 가질 때까지 이건 절대로 잊어버리지 말라고!
오 오오 예 오, 오오 예 오 밤을 새도 모자라 다 다
오 오오 예 오, 오오 예 오 우리 최고 관심사 다 다
내 말 들어봐 그 아이 너네 알지, 좀 어리지만 속은 꽉 찼어
어떨 땐 오빠처럼 듬직하지만, 애교를 부릴 땐 너무 예뻐 죽겠어
오 오오 예 오, 오오 예 오 너 미쳤어, 미쳤어
오 오오 예 오, 오오 예 오 너 미쳤어, 미쳤어
난 정말 화가 나 죽겠어 내 남잔 날 여자로 안보는 걸
막연할 땐 어떡하면 내가 좋겠니, 질투라도 나게 해볼까?
속상해, 어떡해, 나? (말도 안 돼, 말도 안 돼!)
Don't stop, let's bring it back to 1:40
I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한!
I got a boy handsome boy 내 맘 다 가져간
I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한!

언제나 내 곁엔 내편이 돼주고 귀 기울여주는 너, 너
난 이대로 지금 행복해 잘 될 거니까
I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한!
I got a boy handsome boy 내 맘 다 가져간
I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한!

The lyrics of the song "The Boys" by SNSD or Girls' Generation incorporates a unique message of empowerment, highlighting the individuality and confidence in every person. The lyrics encourage people to be proud of their unique qualities and embrace their individualism. It is a bold declaration of independence, where the singer finds her voice and refuses to conform to societal expectations of her by getting a makeover to impress a man. Instead, she focuses on being her true self and finding someone who will accept her for who she is.
The first part of the song starts with a conversation between two girls about one of them getting a haircut and a makeover. The song then goes into a rap section where the rapper, Tiffany Young, introduces herself and encourages others to embrace their individuality. The chorus repeats throughout the song and highlights the singer's newfound confidence and the characteristics she loves about her significant other.
The second half of the song introduces a new character in the storyline, a young woman who is trying to please her partner by changing her personality. She later realizes that she doesn't need to change herself to make someone else happy, and her true significant other will appreciate her just the way she is. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, celebrating the singer's confidence and individuality.

@@cassie8844 I've found very distinctive sections in the song, so in a way it's chaotic ergo organized chaos.
