I Wanna
The Wonder-Girls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yup, JYP, once again (ah ah ah ah)
The Wonder Girls (ah ah ah ah) (I wanna love you)
It's back (let me hold you)
Uh huh (I wanna love you, love you)
Let's go

널 처음 본 순간 그때부터 반해 버렸어
하지만 나부터 먼저 고백을 할 순 없어

난 기다려 기다려 계속 기다려 기다려 기다려

언제까지 날 이렇게 계속 애태울래
해주고 싶은 게 얼마나 많은데

널 사랑하고 싶어 (yeah, come on)
내 사랑 주고 싶어
어서 내게 고백을 해줘
Tell me that you love me please
I wanna love you baby (come on, come one)

(Ah ah ah ah) yeah I wanna love you
(Ah ah ah ah) clap your feet (let me hold you)
(Ah ah ah ah) yeah I wanna love you, love you, let's do it

터질 것 같아 내 가슴에
고인 사랑이 너무 널 원해
그러니 제발 고백을 해
난 기다려 기다려 계속 기다려 기다려 기다려

내가 더 지치기 전에 포기하기 전에
해주고 싶은게 얼마나 많은데

널 사랑하고 싶어 (I wanna love you) yeah yeah come on, come on
내 사랑 주고 싶어 (yo, yo)
어서 내게 고백을 해줘
Tell me that you love me please
I wanna love you baby (yo ready? break it down)

I wanna love you 내 맘 모두 (come on, come on)
I wanna give you 자 받아주길 바래 (ah yeah)
어서 내게 너도 그렇다고 말해
I wanna love you baby, woo

I wanna love you boy 그러니 자 어서 기회를 줘 (come on)
이렇게 기다리다 지칠지 몰라
그러니 어서 와서 나를 데려가 (eh don't stop)
나 보다 좋은 여잘 만날 순 있어
그러나 널 더 사랑할 여자는 없어 (yup)
알겠어 그럼 이제 됐어 자 그럼
Te-te-tell me you love me (one more time)

I wanna love you (yeah)
I wanna love you (move, move, that-that)
I wanna love you
I wanna love you, love you, woo

I wanna love you (keep on, keep on)
I wanna love you (yeah like that)
I wanna love you (uh)

I wanna love you, love you (come on, come on)
(Ah yeah that-that, yeah, come on)
