CLC “Hobgoblin” Lyrics

Hangul

I’m in the zone
We are CLC

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
너 나와라 와라
뚝딱 nice

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
얼른 나와봐라
뚝딱 yes yes

똑똑 자 나와봐라
한번 바라봐
안 넘어오나 봐
쟤는 나 몰랐나 봐

이젠 잘 찾아봐라
내가 여기 챙길 것
다 챙겨 갈란다
와락 데리고 갈란다 너

네가 내 속을 아니 (아니)
내가 네 맘을 보니 oh
하루 이틀도 한두 번도 뭐
아닌 걸 새삼스레 놀라고 그래

배려 없는 나의 몸매 눈빛에
모든 시선이 멈추지 (멈추지)
근데 근데 너만 몰라 왜
너도 날 원하잖아

그만해요 다 알고 있어요
괜히 아닌 척 마요
듣고 있나요 나타나봐요
나를 봐줘요

사실 조금 불안해요 나
너무 오래 걸리잖아요
당장 날 데려가
빨리 나와라

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
너 나와라 와라
뚝딱 nice

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
얼른 나와봐라
뚝딱 yes yes

날 좀 바라봐라
이거 튕기는 거 봐라
와락 안아줄게 너
자꾸 말 안 들어 너

날 좀 바라봐라
더는 센 척하지 마라
이따 후회하지
너 좀 더 놀아봐라 너

아직 몰라 너는 진짜 내 모습을 다
보여줄게 아직 너무나도 많은 걸
내 맘 모른 채 내게 숨지마
더 이상은 기다릴 수 없어 들어와

황홀하게 나를 보는 눈빛에
내 심장이 또 멈추지 (멈추지)
근데 근데 너만 몰라 왜
보여 널 원하잖아

그만해요 다 알고 있어요
괜히 아닌 척 마요
듣고 있나요 나타나봐요
나를 봐줘요

사실 조금 불안해요 나
너무 오래 걸리잖아요
당장 날 데려가
빨리 나와라

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
너 나와라 와라
뚝딱 nice

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
얼른 나와봐라
뚝딱 yes yes

날 좀 바라봐라
이거 튕기는 거 봐라
와락 안아줄게
너 자꾸 말 안 들어 너

날 좀 바라봐라
더는 센 척하지 마라
이따 후회하지
너 좀 더 놀아봐라 너

조금 더 확 변화를 줘볼까
다가가 와락 안아버릴까
한번 더 좀 확실하게 가볼까

망설일 것 없이
화끈하게 놀아봐
Umma

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
너 나와라 와라
뚝딱 nice

금 나와라 와라 (Nope)
은 나와라 와라 (Nope)
얼른 나와봐라
뚝딱 yes yes

날 좀 바라봐라
이거 튕기는 거 봐라
와락 안아줄게
너 자꾸 말 안 들어 너

날 좀 바라봐라
더는 센 척하지 마라
이따 후회하지
너 좀 더 놀아봐라 너

I’m in the zone
We are CLC

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Come out, come out, you
Ta-da, nice

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Hurry and come out
Ta-da, yes yes

Knock knock, come out now
Look at me
See if you won’t fall for me
I guess he didn’t know me
Now look carefully
All the things I need to take from here
I will take
I’m gonna take you away

Do you know how I feel?
I saw your heart
This isn’t the first time
So why are you so shocked?

My hot body and eyes
Make all eyes stop on me
But why don’t you know?
You want me too

Stop it, I know everything
Stop pretending you don’t
Are you listening? Appear before me
Look at me

Actually, I’m a bit nervous
It’s taking too long
Take me away immediately
Hurry and come out

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Come out, come out, you
Ta-da, nice

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Hurry and come out
Ta-da, yes yes

Look at me
You’re playing hard to get
I’ll hug you tight
You’re not listening to me
Look at me
Stop acting so tough
You’ll regret it later
Try playing me more

You still don’t know the real me
I’ll show you, there’s still so much
Without even knowing my heart, don’t hide from me
I can’t wait anymore, come inside

Your eyes are so ecstatic when you look at me
It makes my heart stop
But why don’t you know?
I see that you want me too

Stop it, I know everything
Stop pretending you don’t
Are you listening? Appear before me
Look at me

Actually, I’m a bit nervous
It’s taking too long
Take me away immediately
Hurry and come out

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Come out, come out, you
Ta-da, nice

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Hurry and come out
Ta-da, yes yes

Look at me
You’re playing hard to get
I’ll hug you tight
You’re not listening to me
Look at me
Stop acting so tough
You’ll regret it later
Try playing me more

Should I make some changes?
Should I go to him and hug him?
Should I make things more clear?
Without hesitating
Let’s make it hot
Umma

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Come out, come out, you
Ta-da, nice

Come out, come out, gold, nope
Come out, come out, silver, nope
Hurry and come out
Ta-da, yes yes

Look at me
You’re playing hard to get
I’ll hug you tight
You’re not listening to me
Look at me
Stop acting so tough
You’ll regret it later
Try playing me more

CLC “Hobgoblin” Meaning

“Hobgoblin“ draws inspiration from “dokkaebi,” the mischievous goblins of Korean folklore known for both tricking and rewarding humans. Playful yet unpredictable, these supernatural beings embody a mix of mischief and power, a duality reflected in the song’s lyrics. The track tells the story of a bold, confident woman who teases and seduces someone acting distant, echoing the trickster nature of dokkaebi. Even the chorus references a traditional dokkaebi phrase: “Come out, gold / Come out, silver”, further reinforcing the folklore connection.

The lyrics create a dynamic interplay between assertiveness and vulnerability, mirroring the dokkaebi’s unpredictable charm. This balance of confidence and playfulness, combined with modern themes of empowerment, makes “Hobgoblin“ one of CLC’s boldest and most memorable tracks.
