Catch me girl

Catch me now
(Ca-catch me if you wanna)
(Ca-ca-ca-ca-catch me if you wanna)

한 번 단 한번도
끝까지 내게 맘을 연적 없어
난 마치 벽을 보고 선 듯한 기분이야
그거 알았니 oh oh

곁에 있지만 더 외로워질 뿐
Tonight tonight tonight
널 기다렸지만 이건 좀 아니야
이젠 널 떠난다

가지마 한 마딜 못한다 이 바보가
내가 왜 이 바보만 봤을까
참 못난 널

Baby catch, me catch me
Catch me girl tonight
떠나 버리기 전에 (I'm serious, I'm serious)
나를 잡고 막고 울고 때리고
이유를 말해줬다면
(I'm serious, I'm serious)

오 모르겠다 너의 맘에
내가 깊이 있어왔는지 또 아닌지
그게 궁금해 지쳐버리기 전에
말해줘 말해줘 대답해

시간은 널 그렇게 묶어 둘거야
지금 그 자리에
나를 보내지마 후회하게 돼
미련 좀 떨지마
(Yeah) 가지마 한 마딜 못한다 이 바보가
내가 왜 이 바보만 봤을까
참 못난 널

한동안 내겐 너만 가득 찬 기분
참 많이 행복했던 기억이 나
누구도 나만큼 기다려줄 사람은 no
없다는 걸 넌 잊지마 yeah

애원해주길 바래 난 기다릴게
이제나 저제나 날 떠나지마 말라고 말해
너무 느려 니 맘을 정할 때까지
너만 본다 난 도대체 왜
애원해주길 바래 난 기다릴게
이제나 저제나 날 떠나지마 말라고 말해
바보 내가 왜 너를 사랑했겠니
너 밖에 없어 도대체 왜 yeah

나 나 나 난 기다림

가지마 한 마딜 못한다 이 바보가
내가 왜 이 바보만 봤을까
참 못난 널
Baby catch, me catch me
Catch me girl tonight
떠나 버리기 전에 (I'm serious, I'm serious)
나를 잡고 막고 울고 때리고
이유를 말해줬다면 (I'm serious, I'm serious)

For those who came from The Fine Bros,
If you want to listen to more of TVXQ!'s songs, I'd recommend,
Keep Your Head Down, Before U Go, Humanoids, Something, Spellbound, etc.

If you are wondering why there's only 2 members. It's because 3 of the members left the company because of "slave" contracts and unfair treatment. (Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu).
The 3 members are now known as JYJ (a group). 
JYJ has some amazing songs too. I'd recommend,
Get Out, Found You, In Heaven, Back Seat, etc.

The group when it had 5 members has had a lot of very beautiful songs as well.
Such as:
Mirotic, Rising Sun, O-Jung. Ban. Hap., Purple Line, The Way U Are, Hug, etc.
For ballads, it's Love in the Ice, Bolero, Why Did I Fall in Love with You, Wasurenaide, Forever Love, and many more.
Very beautiful.
Enjoy listening to these songs. The group is known for their harmony while singing, live singing while dancing. Truly a legend, I tell you.

And please. Don't start fanwars (to everyone). They'd get us no where. Ignore haters and trolls (they exist everywhere).

A friend told me awhile ago that old kpop is better than now and I thought how could that be possible now that I watched this... Damn Kpop back then was freaking revolutionary.

@Mel-bv1nz

I miss the old days 😭

@yeetwitch1348

This song is just legendary i wish there were more songs like this one

@HaNeul0805

Yeah especially the clothes back then e.g. gd wearing skirt back in 2011/2012 a few years later it became a huge thing In usa

@samwisegamgee1243

Yeah there was a lot more experimenting back then and trying out new concepts. I feel like once the agencies figured out which concepts make more money, they decided to stick to those tropes instead of trying out new things like they used to.
For example, most of the groups nowadays have the formulaic group members main rapper, vocalist, main dancer, etc. But back then you could find group members with a larger variety of roles and talents, with a lot of the roles overlapping. This meant just about everyone in the group was capable of doing other roles, and could therefore experiment with more styles, compositions, and choreographies.
A lot of group images/personalities have also become more standard in the industry nowadays, like the "bad boy/girl group" or the "sweet boy/girl group", etc. Don't get me wrong, sometimes you can see them breaking their own styles and trying other stuff for one or two songs. But my point is that old kpop groups looooved being bipolar with their songs and images, so you could expect all kinds of styles and concepts from a group.


Lmao sorry for the history lesson, I just really appreciated older kpop. 😭
