PLAYING WITH FIRE
BLACKPINK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

우리 엄만 매일 내게 말했어
언제나 남자 조심하라고
사랑은 마치 불장난 같아서 다치니까 eh

엄마 말이 꼭 맞을지도 몰라
널 보면 내 맘이 뜨겁게 달아올라
두려움보단 널 향한 끌림이 더 크니까 eh
멈출 수 없는 이 떨림은 on and on and on
내 전부를 너란 세상에 다 던지고 싶어
Look at me, look at me now
이렇게 넌 날 애태우고 있잖아
끌 수 없어, 우리 사랑은 불장난

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
My love is on fire (ooh)
Now burn, baby, burn 불장난

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
My love is on fire (ooh)
So don't play with me, boy 불장난

Oh, no 난 이미 멀리 와버렸는걸
어느새 이 모든 게 장난이 아닌 걸

사랑이란 빨간 불씨
불어라 바람, 더 커져가는 불길
이게 약인지, 독인지 우리 엄마도 몰라
내 맘 도둑인데 왜 (경찰도 몰라?)

불붙은 내 심장에 더 부어라 너란 기름
Kiss him, will I diss him?
I don't know, but I miss him
중독을 넘어선 이 사랑은 crack
내 심장의 색깔은 black, ah!

멈출 수 없는 이 떨림은 on and on and on
내 전부를 너란 불길 속으로 던지고 싶어
Look at me, look at me now
이렇게 넌 날 애태우고 있잖아
끌 수 없어, 우리 사랑은 불장난

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
My love is on fire (ooh)
Now burn, baby, burn 불장난

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
My love is on fire (ooh)
So don't play with me, boy 불장난

걷잡을 수가 없는 걸
너무나 빨리 퍼져 가는 이 불길




이런 날 멈추지 마
이 사랑이 오늘 밤을 태워버리게 hoo

I'm so proud of blackpink, it doesn't matter if they beating records or not. I'm just glad they are putting out amazing music, trying new styles, and finding themselves. I'm here to grow with Blackpink and support them all the way :)

@itzayanathyme

yah, they will go up to the top step by step =D

@sunnymelon3

Typical losers behaviour. When you all won you got arrogant and shove to other people face and mock the competitors. Now that you're losing you act like you don't care lol. Get ready to see ur fav get ass-kicked next week.

@itzayanathyme

TaeBaek LOL yeah the same as EXO-L right now with their subunit? #justsaying  hahaha

@ilubyoO

TaeBaek Are all exo-l fans like you? Probably not, just you that is so immature. Not all Blackpink fans are like that so don't generalize us either.

@cheese7364

+TaeBaek thank you for helping us increase the view. Really. Thank you.
