M.E.P
Boa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beautiful, beautiful you
You are so beautiful
미처 난 몰랐던 걸 원했던 건 baby 너라는 걸

하얗고 까만 네 얼굴 위 가만히
내 얇은 손가락을 두들겨
너를 울리고 웃게 했지 한동안 널 잊었지만

I think you're still in love with me
떨려온 손에 touch 다시 들려온 melody
아직 날 기억하고 있는거니
오래된 내 친구

I say hey, I say hey, it's me hey, M.E.P
I say hey, I say hey

하얗고 까만 네 얼굴 위 가만히
강해진 손가락을 두들겨
너를 놀라게 하고 싶어 나는 조금 변했으니까

I think you're still in love with me
떨려온 손에 touch 다시 들려온 melody
만나야 했고 사랑을 했고 다시 여기 돌아왔어

다신 말하고 싶지 않아
너에게 bye bye 그런 말 다신 yeah
오늘 널 안아줄래
우리 헤어지지 않을거란 걸 알지만

Beautiful, beautiful you
You are so beautiful
미처 난 몰랐던 걸 원했던 건 baby 너라는 걸 (woo, woo, woo)

I think you're still in love with me
떨려온 손에 touch 다시 들려온 melody
아직 날 기억하고 있는거니
오래된 내 친구

I think you're still in love with me
떨려온 손에 touch 다시 들려온 melody
만나야 했고 사랑을 했고 다시 여기 돌아왔어

Huh huh huh huh
Huh huh, huh huh, huh huh
