Headache
Wonder Girls 원더 걸스 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

요즘 널 만날 때 내 기분은 knock down
함께있을때 우리 분위기는 calm down
If you wanna leave me now 내가 언제 널 잡은적 있나
너와 보냈던 내 시간들은 모두 waste my life

뭔가 이상해 날 피하는 눈빛
내게 말못할 고민 있니?
함께 있을 때 불안한 니모습

숨기려해도 얼굴에 써있잖아

널 만나면서부터 heartache
말못할 고민이 내게 생겨버렸어
(Who is that girl?)
널 만나면서부터 headache
지독한 두통이 내게 생겨버렸어
All right all right

니가 달라지길 바라는걸 give up
이제 혼자있는 내모습을 보며 cheer up
If you wanna hold me now 후회해도 난 돌아가지않아
이제 우린 아무사이 아냐 breakin′ up

자꾸 들리는 안좋은 얘기들
끊이지않는 니 소문들 (what is that about?)
친구들이 말해도 난 믿지 않았지
그애 옆에있는 웃고있는 널 본거야

널 만나면서부터 heartache
말못할 고민이 내게 생겨버렸어
(Who is that girl?)
널 만나면서부터 headache
지독한 두통이 내게 생겨버렸어

널 만나면서부터 heartache
말못할 고민이 내게 생겨버렸어
(Who is that girl?)
널 만나면서부터 headache
지독한 두통이 내게 생겨버렸어

All right all right

Let’s do it!
잘들어봐 계속 이런 식으로 행동하면 이젠 나도 가만안둬
됐어 차라리 그냥 관둬 어차피 잘해봐도 소용없어
억지로 같이 있어봤자 시간낭비 노력해도 헛수고

너의 말들은 다 핑계와 변명뿐이야
So I don’t trust you, go!

널 만나면서부터 heartache
말못할 고민이 내게 생겨버렸어
(Who is that girl?)
널 만나면서부터 headache
지독한 두통이 내게 생겨버렸어

널 만나면서부터 heartache
말못할 고민이 내게 생겨버렸어
(Who is that girl?)
널 만나면서부터 headache
지독한 두통이 내게 생겨버렸어

All right all right

(Who is that girl?)
