YooA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got something for you to see, hit it
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
말문이 자꾸 막혀 너의 그 태도에 나는
느리게 감듯이 우유부단한 성격
이해를 할 수가 없어
왜 그러는지 모르겠어 나는 (uh)
욕조 속에 담긴 나의 맘이
인내심이 바닥나고 있잖니
유유히 또 헤엄쳐 넌 selfish
감히 날 갖고 흔들어
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
좋다 싫다 아님 정말 모르겠음 모른다고 해
(I want you, babe, I want you) 확실히 해
좋다 싫다 아님 정말 모르겠음 모른다고 해
(I want you, babe, I want you) 확실히 해
니 맘을 너 아님 대체 누가 아니?
도대체 언제까지 시간을 끌어야 하니?
아니면 너 혹시 누구를 괴롭히며
즐거워하는 그런 나쁜 취미가 있나?
욕조 속에 담긴 나의 맘이
인내심이 바닥나고 있잖니
유유히 또 헤엄쳐 넌 selfish
감히 날 갖고 흔들어
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
좋다 싫다 아님 정말 모르겠음 모른다고 해
(I want you, babe, I want you) 확실히 해
좋다 싫다 아님 정말 모르겠음 모른다고 해
(I want you, babe, I want you) 확실히 해
좀-좀-좀-좀, 좀-조-좀-좀
좀-좀-좀-좀, 좀-조-좀-좀
좀-좀-좀-좀, 좀-조-좀-좀 umm
좀-좀-좀-좀, 좀-조-좀-좀
좀-좀-좀-좀, 좀-조-좀-좀
좀-좀-좀-좀, 좀-조-좀-좀
너를 빤히 보는 나의 눈빛
영혼까지 달아나고 있잖니
혹시 너도 사랑이면 빨리
나의 입술을 닫아줘
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
I want you, babe, I want you
Go, want you, go, go
좋다 싫다 아님 정말 모르겠음 모른다고 해
(I want you, babe, I want you) 확실히 해
좋다 싫다 아님 정말 모르겠음 모른다고 해
(I want you, babe, I want you) 확실히 해
I want you, babe
