KiiiKiii “I DO ME” Lyrics

Hangul

da-da-da, da-da-da-da
da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
da-da-da-da-da, da-da

I could go somewhere, maybe anywhere
내 직감은 늘 맞으니깐 just feel it
손끝엔 나비, that’s my living ring
내 걱정, no, 난 나답게 더 빛나져

Feel the breeze
나만 들리는 소리
I can tell myself that

I do me, I do me right
그냥 I do me, I do my way
다른 그림들은 upside down
결국 내가 가는 길이야
남 눈치s, why do you care?
I’m just 달릴 거야 멋대로
Still, pinky 노을빛 날개를 달고 (Oh)

이걸 해야 돼, 거길 가야 돼 (가야 돼)
상관없죠, 난 ‘내’가 될 거에여
콩 무당벌레 (Uh-uh), that’s my piercing
I’m screaming, yeah, 난, 나답게 더 잘해여

Feel the breeze
나만 들리는 소리
I can tell myself that

I do me, I do me right
그냥 I do me, I do my way
다른 그림들은 upside down
결국 내가 가는 길이야 (길이야)
남 눈치s, why do you care?
I’m just 달릴 거야 멋대로
Still, pinky 노을빛 날개를 달고 (I run in the air)

잠 못 드는 밤, 나 달빛 보며
Maybe, I’m 별난 아이 (Oh-oh)
Maybe, 내 꿈 의심 들 때도
Keep it in your soul
내 상상보다 (Oh), 더 큰 나였어 (Oh-oh)
겁 없는 my face, no need to chase
Eyes closed and 들려 whispering
I do me, I do it my way

I do me, I do me right (Woah)
그냥 I do me, I do my way
다른 그림들은 upside down (Upside down)
결국 내가 가는 길이야
남 눈치s, why do you care?
I’m just 달릴 거야 멋대로
Still, pinky 노을빛 날개를 달고 (I run in the air)

Oh, my way, my way
I do my way, I do my way, oh
I’m just 달릴 거야 멋대로
My way, my way
My way, my way, oh

da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
da-da-da-da-da, da-da

I could go somewhere, maybe anywhere
My intuition never fails me, just feel it
A butterfly on the tip of my finger, that’s my living ring
Don’t worry about me, no, I’ma shine like I want to

Feel the breeze
The sound that only I can hear
I can tell myself that

I do me, I do me right
Just I do me, I do my way
Other pictures turn upside down
In the end, it’s the path that I chose
Other people’s eyes, why do you care?
I’m just going to run however I want
Still, pinky sunset glow, put on my wings

“Need to do this”, “Need to go there’”
Don’t care one bit, I’ll end up being “Me”
Bean Ladybug, (Oh) that’s my piercing
I’m screaming, yeah, I’m better doing it my way

Feel the breeze
The sound that only I can hear
I can tell myself that

I do me, I do me right
Just I do me, I do my way
Other pictures turn upside down
In the end, it’s the path that I chose
Other people’s eyes, why do you care?
I’m just going to run however I want
Still, pinky sunset glow, put on my wings (I run in the air)

Sleepless night, I look up at the moonlight
Maybe, I’m the odd star out (Oh)
Maybe, whenever I doubt my dreams
Keep it in your soul
I was a bigger person, (Oh) than I ever imagined (Oh)
My fearless face, no need to chase
Eyes closed and I hear the whispering
I do me, I do it my way

I do me, I do me right (Oh)
Just I do me, I do my way
Other pictures turn upside down
In the end, it’s the path that I chose
Other people’s eyes, why do you care?
I’m just going to run however I want
Still, pinky sunset glow, put on my wings (I run in the air)

Oh, my way, my way
I do my way, I do my way
I’m just going to run however I want
My way, my way
My way, my way, oh
