내 여자야
U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
남자 맘을 훔쳐 조종하는
pilot
타고난 몸매라서 따로
필요 없는 diet
덕분에 매일같이 남자들이
벌떼처럼 꼬여
시커먼 속이 다 보여
그래서 짜증 나요
그 손 놔요 내가 바로
그녀 phone
배경화면 속 주인공
남자친구에요 스캔 좀 그만하고
가던 길이나 계속 가요
내 여자는 내가 지켜
그녀의 마음 문에 골키퍼
덤벼봐 너 자신 있으면 던져봐
날려줄게 홈런
내 여자는 내가 지켜
그녀와 나 사이는 너무 깊어
눈길도 주지마 헛고생 하지마
힘 빼지마 내 여자란 말야
내 여자야 손대지마
무슨 말인지 몰라
그 누구라 하더라도
나 절대 양보 못해
내 여자야 말 걸지마
무슨 말인지 몰라
오직 단 하나뿐인
내 여자란 말야
she\'s mine she\'s mine
곁눈질은 그만
she\'s mine she\'s mine
어딜 감히 넘봐
내 여자란 말야 건들지 말아요
넌 나한테 말야 상대도 안돼요
she\'s mine she\'s mine
곁눈질은 그만
she\'s mine she\'s mine
어딜 감히 넘봐
내 여자란 말야 쳐다보지 마요
얜 너한테 말야 너무 과분해요
그녀 때문에 난 매일이 전쟁터
아이돌처럼 쌓이는 팬레터
작작해 절대 포기 못 해
아무리 꼬리쳐도 변하는건
하나도 없어 알잖아
그녀는 내 것
내 것 내 것 그러니 꿈깨
wake up It\'s not gonna happen
그녀는 언제나 내 품
자나깨나 나뿐
유행하는 나쁜 남자 따위는
관심 없어
데이비드 베컴 와도 안돼 썩 꺼져
내 여자는 내가 지켜
그녀의 마음 문에 골키퍼
덤벼봐 너 자신 있으면 던져봐
날려줄게 홈런
내 여자는 내가 지켜
그녀와 나 사이는 너무 깊어
눈길도 주지마 헛고생하지마

The lyrics to U-KISS's song "내 여자야" (My Girl) are about a possessive and protective lover who declares that the girl he loves belongs only to him. He describes her as a "stealer" and a "pilot" who can control and manipulate men's hearts effortlessly. He admires her natural body shape and claims that she doesn't need to go on a diet. Because of her attractive appearance, men constantly swarm around her, but the singer believes that he is the one who can protect her and be the keeper of her heart.
The singer expresses his annoyance when other men try to approach her and reminds them to keep their hands off his girl. He asserts that no matter who she talks to or what others say, he will never give her up. He warns others not to underestimate their relationship and points out that she is too good for them. He wants everyone to know that she is his and no one else's.
The song highlights the possessive and protective nature of the singer's love for his girl. He sees her as someone he needs to guard and keep safe from the attention of others. Despite the somewhat possessive nature of the lyrics, the song ultimately celebrates the deep bond and connection between the singer and his girl.

@ThinnkTwicce
Okay everyone, want to know how I really discovered Ukiss?
I was on a 15 hour flight from LA to Hong Kong on Cathay Airlines with a team of teenagers for a mission trip in Thailand, and I COULD NOT SLEEP. There are TV's on each seat, so I went through the movies and music from different countries. I found the kpop selection and was EXTREMELY disappointed. No Infinite, no 2ne1, no BigBang, Sistar, no Exo, no Ailee, no BoA, no BLock B, they had snsd but I wasnt feeling for snsd at the moment.
Then I saw Ukiss, and I was like "Okay sure, why not?" They only had the album that this song is on, and OMG I probably listened to it for 5 hours straight. Mysterious Lady was awesome! And this song always woke me back up when I was finally about to fall asleep. (Thanks a lot Ukiss. >[ lol). I liked every single voice, and was surprised at the English.
But yeah Ukiss made my long unbearable flight more bearable, I fell in love with them before I even knew what they looked like, before I discovered Kevin's aegyo personality that melts all of our hearts, before I ever knew about Eli's...well Eli XD. .
My point? Ukiss really does have great musicality and they deserve to finally win 1st place at something! I'm so picky about my music, yet I liked Ukiss without even seeing their faces. I am forever a Kissme. =] (I'm still learning each member though)
@nicolejo3928
3 Members gone.
2 New added members.
2 Foreign Members.
1 Member back from hiatus from studying in the states.
1 Ballad singer who never danced before.
1 Member who suffered from depression and even thought about committing suicide.
0 Wins on Korean Music Shows, yet still dominate in International sales.
Words can't explain why U-Kiss holds a special place in my heart. This group has gone through so shit yet they still haven't given up and disbanded, but makes comebacks with different styles, unafraid to test new waters.
U-Kiss will always be #1 to me and I'll support them to the end.
@jasvin6402
To those who are new to UKISS:
0.03 - Eli (rapper)
0.16 - AJ the one with bandana (rapper)
0.25 - Kiseop (main dancer)
0.30 - Soohyun (leader, main vocalist)
0.40 - Hoon (vocalist)
0.45 - Kevin :3 (vocalist)
Hope it helps!
@BriBeMe315
hands down one of the most underrated groups In kpop
@reyisawesome
+Britney Grant There's so many underrated groups that will never get attention because of bigger name groups. U-KISS is definitely underrated, but I'm happy that they continue and still have strong support
@jayalath.d1649
U-kiss is the definition of underrated. But like reisawesome says kudos for them for staying. Specially Kiseop, Soohyun and Eli. No disrespect for anyone else.

@nataschazehar2639
So FUCKIN true
@kookiegyomie8354
i think that u-kiss is the biggest underated kpop band ever
they were here since 2008 but they never win anythings
they have great voices; awesome rappers; cool videos ( i don't need to talk about the songs coz they are amazing) but they never get the chance to shine T_____T
@PoCherryJ
Right now I don't see any awards are important. Music broadcast every week, even in 3 main channels (KBS, SBS, MBC), so in the end how many trophies did they give to idol? Of course seeing that U-Kiss never win anythings really piss me off but... you know, U-Kiss don't need that things to make them shine :) They're shining by their own <3 <3 <3
P/s: This kind of talk really tear me off T____T
@comunicatetheunknowable6479
I agree completely! I love them and they should've won something a while ago :(
@ainekaikan
U-KISS has shined in their own way, through all the love they have received all over the world. Winning isn't everything. I think most of the fandom is over the boys "not winning". They've been all over the world, done so many awesome things.
