Chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum, gum, gum
내 까만 스니커즈를 지금 멈추게 (만든 너)
범인은 어서 나와 좋은 말 할 때 (빨리나와)
끈적한 발이 떨어지지 않는 게 (조금 전)
뱉은 지 얼마 안 된 것이 분명 해 (딱 기다려)
넌지시 마주치는 시선이 어색해
천천히 다가가자 딴 곳을 보는 걸
역시 널 찾아내긴 어렵지 않았어
그런데 화내기엔 너무나 예쁜 너
풍선 불어 봐 누가 누가 더 커질까
자신 있어 부드런 chewing gum
조심스레 네게 네게 더 다가가
터질 듯 부푼 내 맘은 chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
너는 내 chewing gum
신기해 자꾸 마주 치고 있잖아 (너와나)
매일 똑같은 길을 같이 걷잖아 (신경 쓰여)
궁금해 너란 애는 어떤 아인지 (다가가)
언제쯤 말을 걸까 고민하게 돼 (너만 보면)
공기가 들어간 듯 갈수록 커져가
내 맘이 너로 가득 채워진 것 같아
커지면 커질수록 점점 투명해져
내 맘을 이제 더는 숨길 수도 없게
풍선 불어 봐 누가 누가 더 커질까
자신 있어 부드런 chewing gum
조심스레 네게 네게 더 다가가
분위길 잡고 너는 내 chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
달콤한 chewing gum
내 맘에 붙어라 chewing gum, chewing gum,
Chewing gum, chew you like chewing
검 딱지처럼 붙어줘
중독있어 너라는 거 끈적해
끌리는 것 같애 너무 다양해
내 마음에 터트려줄래 like chewing gum
Chewing gum, you're my 주인공
쉽게 떼낼 수 없는 girl uh
함께 있어 봐
누가 누가 더 원할까
내기 할까 달콤한 chewing gum
장난스레 네게 네게 난 다가가
예감이 좋아 너는 내 chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
너는 내 chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
Chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew
Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum
달콤한 chewing gum
