Why?
OWoL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

아침부터 밸소리에 잠에서 깨 눈을 뜨네
오월아 혹시 오늘 뭐해?

같이 밥이나 먹을래?
아님 영화도 난 Okay
사실 약속 하나 없는데

나마도는게 시간인데
너보다 집을 더 좋아해

I'm sorry, Babe
I'm sorry, Babe

사실 약속 하나 없는데
나마도는게 시간인데
다음엔 우리 꼭 보기로해

I'm sorry, Babe
I'm sorry, Babe

이걸 어떡해?
여자로 느껴지질 않는데

I'm so real

세상에 널려 있는게 남잔는데
왜 하필이면 그중에

Why do you like me, Baby?
포기하는게 좋을거야
(매일 눈물로 지새울걸)

Why do you like me, Baby?
생각보다 나쁜 남자야
(끝내 지쳐 버리고 말걸)

아무리 매달려봐도 난 달라지는 건 하나 없단다
사람 감정라는게 그렇죠
이럼 이럴수록 더 비참해지죠 Yeah

내가 차인걸로 할게
없던 일로헤
(이걸 어떡해)

여자로 느껴지질 않는데

I'm so real
세상에 널려 있는게 남잔는데
왜 하필이면 그중에

Why do you like me, Baby?
포기하는게 좋을거야
(매일 눈물로 지새울걸)

Why do you like me, Baby?
생각보다 나쁜 남자야
(끝내 지쳐 버리고 말걸)

한명의 여잘 또 울려
마치 죄인이 된 것 같어

이제 그만 포기해줘
Oh 제발 다른 남자 만나 행복하길 기도할게
포기하는게 좋아
매일 눈물로 지새울걸

Why do you like like like
Why do you like me?





생각보다 나쁜 남자야
끝내 지쳐 버리고 말걸

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OWoL's song WHY? explores the insecurity and self-doubt experienced by the singer in a romantic relationship. The song starts with the singer waking up to their phone ringing and wondering if their partner is available to spend time with them. Even though the singer knows their love interest has no prior commitments, they apologize for bothering them, indicating a lack of self-worth. Furthermore, the singer compares themselves to their partner, highlighting their insecurities and struggles to measure up.


The chorus highlights the singer's self-doubt and confusion, questioning why their partner likes them when there are so many other options. They even suggest that ending the relationship might be for the best. The bridge sees the singer admitting to being a flawed person but resolves to stop trying so hard to be someone else and embrace their true self.


Overall, the song captures the universal experience of feeling unworthy of love and the courage it takes to be vulnerable and honest in relationships.
