되고파 너의 오빠
너의 사랑이 난 너무 고파
되고파 너의 오빠
널 갖고 말 거야 두고 봐

왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건데
왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건데
왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건데
흔드는 건데 흔드는 건데

아빠, 아빤 대체 어떻게
엄마한테 고백한 건지
편지라도 써야 될런지
뭔지, 니 앞에서 난 먼지

괜히 틱틱대고 씩씩대고 징징대게 돼
나는 진지한데 찌질하게 시비나 걸게 돼
뭔데 신경 쓰여 다 큰 날 애로 만들어
거꾸로 뒤집을껴, 인연을 연인으로

대학까지도 너랑 간다면 참 잘 갈 것 같아
가나다라마바사아 하쿠나마타타!
똑같은 프로필 사진 왜 자꾸 확인할까
그렇다고 착각하지마 쉬운 남자 아냐

안달 났어 나 안달 났어
니가 뭔데? 너만 잘났어?
왜 나를 자꾸 놀려 놀려
너 이제 그만 hol’ up hol’ up

꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야

꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야

왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건데
왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건데
왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건데
흔드는 건데 흔드는 건데

겉으론 bad bad girl, 속은 더 bad bad girl
나 같은 남잘 놓치면 후회하게 될 걸
메신저 확인해놓고 누르지 않는 너의 행위
“1” 자리 없어 짐과 동시에 속만 타지
네비게이션이나 살까봐
(빠름 빠름 빠름) 어필하려고
계속 난 (아둥 바둥 바둥)
진심? (I got ‘em) 뒷심? (I got ‘em)
내가 유일하게 갖지 못한 건 너의 (아름 아름다움)

이 내가 어떻게 변하면 되겠니, hol’ up
밀당? 어장? 그런 거 난 잘 몰러
대신 아프면 119 말고 날 불러
니가 울라면 울어,
웃으라면 웃어,
구르라면 굴러

안달 났어 나 안달 났어
니가 뭔데? 너만 잘났어?
왜 나를 자꾸 놀려 놀려
너 이제 그만 hol’ up hol’ up

꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야

꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야

되고파 너의 오빠
너를 향한 나의 마음을 왜 몰라
나를 모른 척해도 차가운 척해도
널 밀어내진 못하겠어
되고파 너의 오빠
너의 남자가 될 거야 두고봐
나의 마음이 네게 닿도록
지금 달려갈 거야

꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야

꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야

I want to be your oppa*
I hunger so much for your love
I want to be your oppa
I’ll make you mine, just watch

Why are you shaking up my heart?
Why are you shaking up my heart?
Why are you shaking up my heart?
Shaking it up shaking it up

Dad, exactly how did you
confess to mom?
Should I write a letter?
What is this, before you I’m nothing but dust

Because of you I‘m ticked off, gasping for air, and whining for no reason
I’m usually serious but you make me start petty fights with you
Why do I care so much? You turn the grown-up me back into a kid
But I’ll turn things around, from fate into lovers*²

Even when we get to university, if I’m there with you I think it’ll be okay
Ga na da ra ma ba sa*³ hakuna matata!
It’s the exact same profile picture but why do I keep checking it?
But don’t underestimate me because I’m not an easy guy

Fretting, I’m fretting
Who do you think you are? Are you the only smart one?
Why am I being teased teased?
Stop now, hol’ up hol’ up

Hold on tight, before I pounce on you
Before my heart lets go of you
Say what you want
Say what you want
What do you really want?

Hold on tight, before I pounce on you
Before my heart lets go of you
Say what you want
Say what you want
What do you really want?

Why are you shaking up my heart?
Why are you shaking up my heart?
Why are you shaking up my heart?
Shaking it up shaking it up

On the surface a bad bad girl, on the inside even more of a bad bad girl
If you miss out on a guy like me you’ll only regret it later on
Your habit of checking your messenger notifications but not clicking on the message
As the “1” disappears*⁴ I burn with impatience
Maybe I should buy a GPS*⁵
(Fast fast fast)*⁶ I try to appeal to you
I keep on (trying trying trying)
Sincerity? (I got ‘em) Endurance? (I got ‘em)
The one thing I can’t get a hold of is your (beau-beauty)

How should I change to make this work, hol’ up
Play hard to get? Lead you on? I don’t know about all that
But if you’re hurting, call me instead of 119*⁷
If you want me to cry, I’ll cry
If you want me to laugh, I’ll laugh
If you want me to roll, I’ll roll

Fretting, I’m fretting
Who do you think you are? Are you the only smart one?
Why am I being teased teased?
Stop now, hol’ up hol’ up

Hold on tight, before I pounce on you
Before my heart lets go of you
Say what you want
Say what you want
What do you really want?

Hold on tight, before I pounce on you
Before my heart lets go of you
Say what you want
Say what you want
What do you really want?

I want to be your oppa
Why don’t you know how I feel about you?
Even if you act like you don’t know me or act cold
I cannot push you away
I want to be your oppa
I’ll become your man, just watch
So that my heart reaches you,
I’ll run to you now

Hold on tight, before I pounce on you
Before my heart lets go of you
Say what you want
Say what you want
What do you really want?

Hold on tight, before I pounce on you
Before my heart lets go of you
Say what you want
Say what you want
What do you really want?

Translators’ Notes:

* Oppa is an honorific term in Korean that females use to address older males. In its most basic form, the word is used to address your actual blood-related older sibling. However, the word has also become rather loaded as it indicates a degree of closeness with the person, and can be a marker of romantic affection.
2. ‘인연/in-yeon’ meaning ‘fate/destiny’ and ‘연인/yeon-in’ meaning ‘lovers’ are made up of the same letters, just in reverse order.
3. The first few letters of the Korean alphabet.
4. The Korean lyrics use the word ‘navigation’, which is the Konglish term for GPS.
5. In Korea’s messaging app called KakaoTalk, a ‘1’ beside a message serves as a read/unread receipt. Once someone has read your message, the 1 symbol disappears.
6. The word used for ‘fast’ here can also sound like the revving of an engine.
7. 119 is the number for emergency calls in Korea.
