GD&TOP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
으 속 쓰려, 거기 누구 없어요?
It's all my bad (확씨! I don't know man)
So old school, 술 깨고 들어 (흐으)
내가 좋아하던 그녀 이제 떠나갑니다
저 혼자두고 다른사람 만나렵니까
불쌍하다 불쌍해 외로운 남자야
날 좀 위로 해 주오 (oh)
(Let's go) 어쩌란 말이냐
어쩌란 말이냐
어쩌란 말이냐
Ah 어쩌란 말이냐
Te te te tell me now
Hey hey hey 그대 가지말아요
그럴꺼면 차라리 나를 밟고 가세요
도대체 왜 왜 정말 잘 해줬는데
이럴꺼면 진작말하지
이 나쁜것아 (hey)
우라라 우라우
두비두바 두루두두
이러면 되요 안 되요, 안되요
야야야야야야
길 가던 꼬마녀석 나를 비웃습니다
손가락질 해가며 놀려 흉을 봅니다
꿀밤 한대 쥐어박고 돌아선 그 순간
그녀가 다 봤나봐
참으로 못났다
어쩌란 말이냐
어쩌란 말이냐
어쩌란 말이냐
나더러 어쩌란 말이냐
Te te te tell me now
Hey hey hey 그대 가지말아요
그럴꺼면 차라리 나를 밟고 가세요
도대체 왜 왜 정말 잘 해줬는데
이럴꺼면 진작말하지
이 나쁜것아 (hey)
우라라 우라레
두비두바 두루두두
내말이 맞아요 안맞아요
다같이 야야야야야야
나나나 나나나
나나나나나나나나
나나나 나나나나나나나나
나나나 나나나나나
오늘 한번 고삐 풀린 망아지처럼 마셔 볼란다 (마셔라 마셔)
가지마
Hey hey hey 그대 가지말아요
그럴꺼면 차라리 나를 밟고 가세요
도대체 왜 왜 정말 잘 해줬는데
이럴꺼면 진작말하지
이 나쁜것아 (one time)
Ye ye ye 소주한잔 비우고
네 사진을 안주 삼아
또 한잔 들이키고
말이 돼 돼 돼
나만 돌아이 되고
그래도 부디 행복하세요 (마무리)
어쩌란 말이냐
어쩌란 말이냐
