Hey we're CLC (CLC)
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

머리에서 또 열이 나요 자꾸 멍 하늘만 봐요 Oh
대체 왜 이런지 이상해진 건지 죽을병이 든 것 같아

숨이 자꾸 빨라져요 이젠 눈도 못 마주쳐요
안될 말이지만 난 아직 어리지만 Uh uh
더는 못 참을 것 같아

가슴이 두근두근 뛰는 걸 어떡해
얼굴이 벌써 빨개진 걸 어떡해

오빠가 좋아 너무너무 좋아
확실해 내 맘이 맘이 사랑에 빠졌나 봐

어떡해 (Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
난 어떻게 해 Oh (Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)

Baby boy 시간을 빨리 돌릴 수 있다면
어른이 되는 주문이 내게 있다면 Uh
I'm going for you watch me
I'm going for you watch me

매일매일 상상해요 이번엔 좀 더 심각해요 Uh
예쁜 신데렐라 꿈꾸며 행복해도 Uh uh
다시 12시가 되죠

가슴이 두근두근 뛰는 걸 어떡해
얼굴이 벌써 빨개진 걸 어떡해

오빠가 좋아 너무너무 좋아
확실해 내 맘이 맘이 사랑에 빠졌나 봐

어떡해 (Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
난 어떻게 해 Oh (Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)

그냥 날 받아주면 안 되나요
사랑에 빠진 날 이해 못 하나요 Uh
I'm going for you watch me
I'm going for you watch me

Tic tac toe 사랑 너무 힘들어 Uh
가슴이 아려서 하루 종일 아무것도 먹지 못해

How U changed my world uh U U You'll never know
정말 정말 Uh uh uh uh

가슴이 두근두근 뛰는 걸 어떡해
얼굴이 벌써 빨개진 걸 어떡해

오빠가 좋아 너무너무 좋아
확실해 내 맘이 맘이 사랑에 빠졌나 봐

어떡해 (Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
난 어떻게 해 Oh (Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
제발 내 곁으로 와 줘 날 사랑한다 해줘
I'm going for you watch me
I'm going for you watch me





장난이 아닌데 Uh 나 오빠 진짜 사랑하는데 Uh
정말 잘 할 수 있는데 U belong with me U belong to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to CLC's song "Eighteen" express the feeling of being in love for the first time and the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with it. The opening lines describe physical symptoms the singer is experiencing such as a fever and a racing heart. She wonders why she feels this way and thinks she may be sick. Despite feeling young and inexperienced, she realizes she can't hold back her feelings any longer.


The chorus repeats the line "오빠가 좋아" (Oppa is good) which translates to "I like him." She confesses that she is sure she has fallen in love and asks how she is supposed to deal with these overwhelming emotions. She wishes she could skip ahead to the future and become an adult to be able to be with her love.


The bridge includes the phrase "Tic tac toe," a reference to the game of the same name. It suggests that the game of love is difficult and painful for her. She is unable to eat and feels like her world has completely changed. She pleads for her love interest to reciprocate her feelings and stay by her side.
