Lyrics

Basics

Ah, ah-ah

First time 눈이 마주친 순간 어질어질한 이 공간 꿈속인지 헷갈려 숨이 차올라 조금 더 가까이 다가와 천천히 Can you make me feel like a diamond? Uh But what the uh

다른 애들과는 달라, ain't beggin' for love 나쁜 건 아니잖아, 이게 나라서 어디로 튈지 몰라, like rainbow bubble gum 그러니 날 꽉 붙잡아둬

알아 나도 well about myself 쉽지 않단 걸, you might want some help You wanna try, but not tonight So I'ma call my friend up, take off my makeup I'ma sleep good tonight, okay

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics 다 원해 원해 원해? 서두르지 마, baby 뻔해, 뻔해, 말해 뭐해, 다 알 텐데 Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

타는 듯 뜨거운 사막 위에 예쁘게 피어난 장미 같아 조심스레 내게 다가올 때 나도 모르게 찔러버릴 텐데 긴장이 필요한 순간이야 정신을 놓지 마, 지금이야 궁금하잖아, 전화기를 들어 질문을 던져, 대답해줄게

알아 나도 well about myself 쉽지 않단 걸, you might want some help You wanna try, but not tonight So I'ma call my friend up, take off my makeup I'ma sleep good tonight, okay

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics 다 원해 원해 원해? 서두르지 마, baby 뻔해, 뻔해, 말해 뭐해, 다 알 텐데 Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics Slow it down and speed it up like you a spaceship Baby, later 남겨 줄게 my location Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

부족하다고 넌 느끼겠지만 기본에 충실한 태도일 뿐이야 우리 둘 사이 팽팽한 긴장감 놓지 않는 게 더 좋단 걸 알아 I know, it feels like you're paying the price 내 모든 것을 더는 바라지마 So let's take it back Oh, let's take it back

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics 다 원해 원해 원해? 서두르지 마, baby 뻔해, 뻔해, 말해 뭐해, 다 알 텐데 Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

I wanna, wanna, wanna, take it to the basics Slow it down and speed it up like you a spaceship Baby, later 남겨 줄게 my location Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
