V.I
V.I (hey)
V.I like this (ooh-wee)
Can't stop do this

I'm breakin' down (down)
Down(down), down(down), down(down), down(down)
Breakin' down now
Breakin', breakin', down, down
I'm breakin' down (down)
Down(down), down(down), down(down), down(down)
Breakin' down now
Breakin', breakin', down, down

내가 니 남자라는 말 (말)
믿었는데 (데), 넌 왜 (왜)
날 위해서라는 그 말 (말)
제발 don't say, don't say
So tell me 도대체 왜 내게 이러는지
Baby, 나는 아무것도 못 해
이렇게 바보처럼 날 내버려 두고 넌 떠나가니 왜?

난 어쩌라고
이래도 싫고 저래도 싫은 너는
왜 자꾸만 죄도 없는 나를 탓해
그럼 난 어쩌라고

난 어쩌라고
내 모든 걸 다 주고 너에게 다 바쳐
이제 남은 거라곤 내겐 너뿐야
더이상 나를 피하지는 마, 더는

I'm breakin' down (down)
Down(down), down(down), down(down), down(down)
Breakin' down now
Breakin', breakin', down, down
I'm breakin' down (down)
Down(down), down(down), down(down), down(down)
Breakin' down now
Breakin', breakin', down, down

널 다시 만나 볼 생각
없었는데 (난), 또 왜
매일 밤 꿈속에서 넌 (넌)
웃고 있어 (있어)
So tell me 도대체 왜 내게 이러는지
Baby, 나는 아무것도 못 해
이렇게 바보처럼 날 내버려 두고 넌 떠나가니 왜?

난 어쩌라고
내 모든 걸 다 주고 너에게 다 바쳐
이제 남은 거라곤 내겐 너뿐야
더이상 나를 피하지는 마, 더는
Hey, let's break it down

Yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, hey, yeah

난 어쩌라고
Hey, I'm slowly breakin' down
I'm slowly breakin' down (whoa)

난 어쩌라고
이대로 널 보낼수는 없어, hey!
난 어쩌라고
내 모든 걸 다 주고 너에게 다 바쳐
이제 남은 거라곤 내겐 너뿐야
더이상 나를 피하지는 마, 더는

I'm breakin' down (down)
Down(down), down(down), down(down), down(down)
Breakin' down now
Breakin', breakin', down, down

I'm breakin' down (down)
Down(down), down(down), down(down), down(down)

Overall Meaning

The Fives's song "What You Do" is about a person breaking down emotionally and struggling to understand why their partner is treating them poorly. The chorus repeats the line "I'm breakin' down" to emphasize the emotional turmoil that the person is going through. The verses express the confusion and hurt that the person is feeling towards their partner, asking them why they are treating them poorly and wondering what they did wrong.


The lyrics also touch on themes of self-worth and self-blame. In the second verse, the person asks why their partner is blaming them for things they didn't do, suggesting that they feel unfairly judged and criticized. They also state that they have given their all to the relationship and can't understand why their partner is treating them so badly.


The use of both English and Korean lyrics adds another layer of emotion and complexity to the song, reflecting the band's multicultural roots.
