I'm sorry
That I had to let you go
If I could just turn back the time
Oneway~

{Chance}
Oneul haruneun oettaennayo
Na oepshido gwaenchanayo
Gajimayo, gajimayo
Subaek beon wechyeo bwatjiman

Geudaeye pyojeongwa maltu
Geudaye seupgwandeul modu
Itjimayo, itjimayo
Ajik geudael mot ijeoyo

(Pre)
Majimak hanbeonman neol bolsu ittamyeon
Geuttaen neol dashi nae geoseuro mandeul su isseo
Dan hanbeone gihwe nae mabeobe chwihae
Dae nuneul bwa neon jeom jeom kkeullyeowa

(Chorus)
Naye MAGIC eh geolyyeo deulkkeoya
Naye MAGIC neol dollyeo noheulkkeoya
Nal chatge dwel geoya
Neon mabobe chwihae
Spell the magic on you, spell the magic

All I need to do is cast a spell on you
And you'll be mine again

{Peter}
Wae saranghandan geojitmallo
Nal ireoke mandeureoyo
Gwaenchanayo, gwaenchanayo

Dorawayo, dorawayo

Geu son nochi aneulgeyo

Cast the spell on you
