INTRO & VERSE 1

(1,2,3,4)

Baby, got me looking so crazy

빠져버리는 daydream

Ppajyeobeorineun daydream

Sinking deeply into this daydream

Got me feeling you

너도 말해줄래

Neodo malhaejullae

Won't you tell me too?

누가 내게 뭐라든

Nuga naege mworadeun

No matter what anyone says to me

남들과는 달라 넌

Namdeulgwaneun dalla neon

You're completely different from everyone else

Maybe you could be the one

날 믿어봐 한번

Nal mideobwa hanbeon

Give me a chance, trust in me

I'm not looking for just fun

Maybe I could be the one

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 빠져버리는 (Ppajyeobeorineun): Falling into / losing oneself in — From '빠지다' combined with '-아/어 버리다', expressing an involuntary, deep immersion into someone or a thought.
• * 말해줄래 (Malhaejullae): Won't you tell me? — A warm, inviting interrogative ending '-ㄹ래(요)' asking for the other person's thoughts or feelings.
• * 남들과는 달라 (Namdeulgwaneun dalla): Different from others — '남들' refers to other people / the rest of the world, highlighting the special uniqueness of the crush.
• * 믿어봐 (Mideobwa): Try trusting (me) — From '믿다' (to trust) + '-아/어 보다' (to try doing something).

PRE-CHORUS

Oh baby

예민하대 나 lately

Yeminhadae na lately

They say I've been so sensitive lately

너 없이는 매일 매일이 yeah

Neo eopsineun maeil maeiri yeah

Without you, each and every single day, yeah

재미없어 어쩌지

Jaemieopseo eojjeoji

Is completely boring, what should I do?

I just want you

Call my phone right now

I just wanna hear you're mine

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 예민하대 (Yeminhadae): They say (I'm) sensitive — Contraction of '예민하다고 해', quoting what friends or people around say about her sudden emotional restlessness.
• * 매일 매일이 (Maeil maeiri): Day after day / each and every day — Doubling '매일' intensifies the sense of prolonged emptiness without the loved one.
• * 재미없어 어쩌지 (Jaemieopseo eojjeoji): It's no fun, what should I do? — '재미없다' (to be dull/boring) combined with the common colloquial phrase '어쩌지' (what am I going to do?).

CHORUS

‘Cause I know what you like boy

You're my chemical hype boy

내 지난날들은

Nae jinannaldeureun

All my yesterday's past

눈 뜨면 잊는 꿈

Are just dreams forgotten upon opening my eyes

Hype boy 너만 원해
