JOY “Love Splash!” Lyrics

Hangul

Beach balls, heatwave
I’m swimming for the love
Dear boy, give me your love
We goin’ till tomorrow

Oh my god
너의 긴 Curly hair
어느 해변가에
예쁜 모래같이 반짝여

그을린 듯한 붉은 얼굴 (Yeah)
햇살 아래 나 때문일까?
더 궁금해

손이 살짝 스치면 숨을 참아 난
새어 나온 웃음소리
이미 네게 푹 빠져버렸나 봐
Hey, don’t tease me

I just wanna free fall, free fall
바다처럼 깊은 나의 마음을
요동치게 하는 너야
Boy, you know it?
뛰어들어 주저 말고
Let’s love!

태양 아래 Dive
민트빛의 Water
파도 같은 Vibe
너를 덮쳐 My heart
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
헤엄쳐 My ocean baby
짜릿한 Love Splash! Yeah yeah

Boy, 한여름 낮의 열병 같은 너
So hot 얼음물에도 나
식지 않아 Hot hot
어지러워
But I never wanna stop (Woo!)

살짝 기대 모른 척
눈을 감아 난
커진 너의 심장 소리
지금 이대로 시간이 멈춘다면
Boy, just kiss me

You’re gonna free fall, free fall
거품처럼 부푼 너의 마음이
투명하게 터진 그때
Boy, you know it?
숨기려고 하지 말아 Let’s love!

태양 아래 Dive
민트빛의 Water
파도 같은 Vibe
너를 덮쳐 My heart
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
헤엄쳐 My ocean baby
짜릿한 Love Splash! Yeah yeah

You’re my first wave
하얗게 펼쳐져
눈이 부신 찰나
밀려와 나에게로

So you’re feeling the love
넌 새로운 세계로 온 거야
끝없이 우린
긴 모험을 모험을 할 거야

뭐든 좋은 걸
예측할 수 없는 이 Flow
My heart beats just for you

태양 아래 Dive
민트빛의 Water
파도 같은 Vibe
너를 덮쳐 My heart

Oh my god
Your long curly hair
Somewhere on a beach
You sparkle like pretty sand

Your sun-kissed, blushing face (Yeah)
Is it because of me, under the sunlight?
Got me more curious

When our hands brush softly I hold my breath
But a giggle sneaks out
I think I’m already Head over heels into you
Hey, don’t tease me

I just wanna free fall, free fall
Like a deep ocean You stir up
The depths of my heart
Boy, you know it?
Don’t hesitate, just dive in
Let’s love!

Under the sun we dive
Into mint-tinted water
Rolling like waves this vibe
Crashes into you my heart
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
Swim my ocean baby
Electric Love Splash! Yeah yeah

Boy, you’re like that midday Midsummer fever
So hot even in ice-cold water
Can’t cool me down, hot hot
World is spinning
But I never wanna stop (Woo!)

Lean into you subtly I close my eyes
like I don’t know anything
How loud your heart beats
Just like this If time stops now
Boy, just kiss me

You’re gonna free fall, free fall
Bubble bubble Your heart grows
And when it finally pops
Boy, you know it?
Don’t try to hide it Let’s love!

Under the sun we dive
Into mint-tinted water
Rolling like waves this vibe
Crashes into you my heart
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
Swim my ocean baby
Electric Love Splash! Yeah yeah

You’re my first wave
Spreading out in white
A dazzling moment
You wash up to me

So you’re feeling the love
You’re in a brand new world
Endlessly we’ll Go on that long adventure
That adventure together

Whatever it is I like it
This unpredictable flow
My heart beats just for you

Under the sun we dive
Into mint-tinted water
Rolling like waves this vibe
Crashes into you my heart
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
L-O-V-E (It’s that!)
