XOXO
EXO-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
살며시 입 맞춘 X는 kiss
동그랗게 안은 O는 hug
혹시 벌써 알고 있을까 oh oh
하루하루 몰래 쓴 편지
그렇게 끄트막에 적었지
그래 봤자 준 적 없지만 right
참 뻔한 말들만 머릿속을 스쳐
사실 내 맘은 깊어 deeper than the sea
꼭 하고 싶던 말 그건 be with me
생각하다 잠들면 (내 꿈속)
팔을 벌려 따뜻한 (내 품속)
너를 XOXO 품에 안아 XOXO
조마조마 간절한 (그만큼) (XO)
네게 닿을 듯한 (그 입맞춤)
너를 XOXO 매일 꿈에 XOXO (XO)
Give me XOXO L.O.V.E (V.E)
You're my XOXO L.O.V.E (V.E) yeah
나와 있을 때 넌 편안해
시도 때도 없이 장난해
하얀 웃음 웃을 때마다 ai
그런 니 마음은 yes or no
내게 사인을 줘 X or O
재미없어 기다리는 건 yeah
한번 용기 내 전해 줘야 할지
투박한 손글씨 부끄러운 편지
이 네 글자로 말하긴 많이 부족해
남자답게 행동을 보일게
생각하다 잠들면 (내 꿈속)
팔을 벌려 따뜻한 (내 품속)
너를 XOXO 품에 안아 XOXO
조마조마 간절한 (그만큼)
네게 닿을 듯한 (그 입맞춤)
너를 XOXO 매일 꿈에 XOXO (XO)
너를 원해 XO 내겐 오직 너
내겐 오직 너 내 내겐 오직 너
너를 위한 XO 나를 받아 줘
나를 받아 줘 나 나를 받아 줘
눈이 부셔 내 앞에 반쯤 감긴 (yo yo)
사랑스런 네 눈을 비춘 달님
말해 줄래 꼭 이게 시작이라고
Like whoa, leggo (oh oh)
생각하다 잠들면 (내 꿈속)
팔을 벌려 따뜻한 (내 품속)
너를 XOXO 품에 안아 XOXO (baby give me XO)
