몸으로 말하는 게 좋아
부드럽게 달래다가도
때론 거칠게 하는 말이 좋아 yeah
난 네가 말하는 게 좋아
몸으로 말하는 게 좋아
부드럽게 달래다가도
랄랄라라랄라랄랄라
랄라라라랄라랄랄랄라
너무 좋아 너무 좋아
너의 말투 하나하나 다다다
랄랄라라랄라랄랄라
랄라라라랄라랄랄랄라
아름다워 아름다워
너의 몸짓 하나하나 다다다
이렇게 가까이서는 처음 봐
우리 둘의 포개짐은 딱 열두 시 정각
하나됨이 정답 한번도 못 본
네 표정들 수없이 변해
이걸 나만 볼 수 있단 생각
I wanna stop this moment
So close 숨소리 주인도 헷갈리게
서로의 코 간지러움 자꾸 웃음이나 입맞추네
네 살결은 만지면 떼기 싫은 정도가 좀 심각해
내 따스한 체온 오늘밤 너의 몸에 남겨 이렇게
난 네가 말하는 게 좋아
몸으로 말하는 게 좋아
부드럽게 달래다가도
때론 거칠게 하는 말이 좋아 yeah

‘Don't waste time we just work some more
Rolls Royce raps and my tone is Forbes
I'ma take it overboard
Goyard by my .44
Go hard cause this world is yours
I'ma pay that fee
Smoked out with E-40 on
Bossed up like a Corleone
In these Maybach seats’
