I need the whole stadium to jump

Put your phone down, let’s get all the fun

I got my eyes on the row in the front

The vibe is high, if we bein’ blunt

The vibe is high, let the building

 

B-T-uh, from everywhere to Korea

총 칼 키보드 다 좀 치워

인생은 짧아 증오는 비워

It’s big in real life

뭘 체면 따져 내려놔, 야 인마

Hop in

좀 더 가까이 와 skin to skin

 

B-T-uh, from everywhere to Korea

Remove all the guns, knives, and keyboards

Life's short, get rid of all the hate

It’s big in real life

What're you nitpicking the image for, quit, you punk

Hop in

Come a lil closer, skin to skin

 

I need some body to body

All of your body beside me

저기 저 달에 닿게 손에 손¹ 

너와 나 we on and on

Sunrise, but we don’t go home

 

I need some body to body

All of your body beside me

Hand in hand¹, so we reach the moon

You and me, we on and on

Sunrise, but we don’t go home

 

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like

Errbody like you

 

It’s so tight

I mean, 너와의 사이

I mean, 우리만의 그 style

I mean, we livin’ the life

두 눈을 감지 않을 이 밤

솟구치는 겨레의 마음

Be about it, be about it, be about it

You could see about it

Or you read about it

 

It’s so tight

I mean, this thing between you and I

I mean, that style of our own

I mean, we livin’ the life

Tonight, when we don't close our eyes

The soaring nation's heartbeat

Be about it, be about it, be about it

You could see about it

Or you read about it

 

I need some body to body

All of your body beside me

저기 저 달에 닿게 손에 손¹ 

너와 나 we on and on

Sunrise, but we don’t go home

 

I need some body to body

All of your body beside me

Hand in hand¹, so we reach the moon

You and me, we on and on

Sunrise, but we don’t go home

 

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like

Errbody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like

Errbody like you

 

I need the whole stadium to jump

Put your phone down, let’s get all the fun

You at the side, at the back, at the front
