noredirect/T-ARA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

어디까지 왔나 또 어디 숨었나
맘에 들어 왔나 나나나나나 I like you

어디서 오셨나요
자꾸 눈이 가네요 그대 눈빛이
(나는 참 맘에 드네요)

옆으로 가고 싶지만

용기가 안나서 가슴이 떨려와
(나는 참 망설이네요)

몰라 어떡해 난 몰라
미치겠어 널 놓치기 싫어 너에게로
점점 다가갈래 점점 내 앞에서 떠날 수 없게

Roly Poly Roly Roly Poly
날 밀어내도 난 다시 네게로 다가가서
Roly Poly Roly Roly Poly
나만 보일꺼야 너에게 나를 보여 줄꺼야

시계는 왜 보나요
우리 만남부터 쭉 멈춰 있는데
나는 참 맘에 드네요

나 오늘 이상하네요
자꾸 떨리네요 그대를 보고서
나는 참 망설이네요

몰라 불안해 난 몰라 미치겠어
어디로 갈까봐 한걸음 더
점점 다가갈래 점점 내 눈에서 떠날 수 없게

Roly Poly Roly Roly Poly
날 밀어내도 난 다시 네게로 다가가서

Roly Poly Roly Roly Poly
나만 보일꺼야 너에게 나를 보여 줄꺼야

I like it like it this
I like it like it that
I like this like that yeah

Roly Poly Roly Roly Poly
날 밀어내도 난 다시 네게로 다가가서

Roly Poly Roly Roly Poly
나만 보일꺼야 너에게 나를 보여 줄꺼야

Ah Ah Ah Ah Tonight
시간이 된거야 내게로 올거야 Oh Tonight

Ah Ah Ah Ah Tonight
널 기다릴 거야 너도 날 놓치기 싫을 거야
