마티니 한 잔에 널 잡아
부드러운 그 손에 모르는 척 넘겨 봐
독인지도 몰라 이 황홀한 중독에
모두가 미쳐가네
(너는 좀 다른 girl)
(너는 빛나는 girl)
반짝임에 미친 내가
널 놓치기 싫은 걸
온 몸이 떨려와
Yeah Yeah Yeah
숨이 멈출 것만 같아 day & night
네 눈빛 속에 나를 담아 all day
순간 속에 빠져 들어가 난
너로 마신 독한 something
몸 속으로 타고 들어가는 걸
나를 더 가져가
Oh baby love me do
Oh baby love me do
뚫어지게 쳐다만 보지마
확실히 너도 알고 있잖아
넘어갈 때도 너 됐잖아
나를 더 나를 더
나를 더 가져가
뜨겁게 달아오른 네 맘속에 woo
더 깊숙이 난 파고들어
네가 바라만 보는 또 그 곳이 어디든
중심을 잃어버린 이 흔들림 속에 너
독인지도 몰라 이 황홀한 중독에
모두가 미쳐가네
(너는 좀 다른 girl)
Like a diamond
(너는 빛나는 girl)
반짝임에 미친 내가
널 놓치기 싫은 걸
온 몸이 떨려와

Oh 알겠어
사랑이 뭔지 알겠어
Love is U 내 기준에 따라
사랑을 이제
네 이름으로 부를 거야
Because of U
너 때문에 끝도 없이 높아진 눈
Ye girl is you and love is you
Oh baby love me do
(Do it for me baby)
Oh baby love me do

Oh baby love me do
터질 듯 심장을 관통한

The lyrics of VIXX's Love Me Do depict the thrill of being consumed by love like a drug. The song starts with the lyrics "baby love me do, capture you in one martini," symbolizing the addictive nature of the love they are experiencing. The song talks about the feeling of being intoxicated by love, and how everyone around them is going crazy with their infectious love. The lyrics go on to describe the singer's fear of losing their lover as they feel their body shaking in anticipation. The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh baby love me do" to emphasize the importance of their love and the joy it brings to their life.
The second verse of the song emphasizes how deep the singer has fallen for their lover by saying "You're deep within my heart."

It pains me how underrated VIXX is, I'm not even a Starlight but I feel it
autumnleepea
FATIMA right? the K starlights are very supportive of Vixx. I feel like Vixx is an exceptional group different than most. Same way I felt about B.A.P when they first came out. No other group had their sound. I feel like many groups are gonna learn from Vixx in the future in terms of creativity performance and song writing.
FATIMA
autumnleepea That would be the reason why VIXX has shined till now even though the number of their fans isn't that big.
autumnleepea
FATIMA they caught my attention when I heard the album first Vodoo and listen to the song Hyde. It's so unique out of all other groups they stand out. and ever comeback they always develop their sound and not only just stick to one genre but a variety.
VTookAllTheJams
I can honestly say that they have yet to grab my full attention, I can't say why. I listen to a lot of their songs and know the members, but still... Something's missing for me
FATIMA
autumnleepea Maybe cos they're from a small company. In my case, I've known them for almost a year since VIXX-LR was nominated with SNSD(Lion heart). That's when they got my attention^^
gim gim
