NCT WISH “Sticky” Lyrics
Hangul
네 곁에선 상큼하고 달콤한 (Sticky)
이 느낌, 마치 망고, give an appetite (Sticky)
무더운 섬에 내린 듯 열이 나 (Sticky)
아찔한 이끌림, 눈앞은 샛노랑
우리 recipe, 머릿속의 큰 그림
Uh, 별난 조합 같지만 그게 묘미라지, haha
Little challenging, but 제법 잘 어울리지
살짝만 맛봐도 느낄 걸, 우린 딱 맞는 짝이야
I’m sticky and you stickin’, 어쩔 땐 too much
서롤 juicy 하는 두 눈엔 꿀이 떨어져 (Oh, oh)
후끈해, 목이 타는 이 감정
빨개진 귓불까지 감출 수는 없는걸 (Na, na, na)
찰밥처럼 찰싹 달라붙어서
포근한 네 품에 파고들면 좋겠어
오해는 마, uh, baby, I just need your love
둘 사이 일밀리의 틈도 없게, freaky with that sticky, sticky
네 곁에선 상큼하고 달콤한 (Sticky)
이 느낌, 마치 망고, give an appetite (Sticky)
무더운 섬에 내린 듯 열이 나 (Sticky)
아찔한 이끌림, 눈앞은 샛노랑

Translation
By your side, it’s refreshing and sweet (Sticky)
This feeling, just like a mango, it gives an appetite (Sticky)
It feels like I’ve landed on a sweltering island, I’m running a fever (Sticky)
A dizzying attraction, everything before my eyes is bright yellow
Our recipe, the big picture in my head
Uh, it seems like an odd combination, but that’s the charm, haha
A little challenging, but we actually go quite well together
If you take just a little taste, you’ll feel it—we’re the perfect pair
I’m sticky and you stickin’, sometimes it’s too much
In our eyes that make each other juicy, honey is dripping (Oh, oh)
It’s burning hot, this feeling of my throat being parched
I can’t even hide my reddened earlobes (Na, na, na)
Sticking close to you like glutinous rice
I want to burrow into your cozy embrace
Don’t misunderstand, uh, baby, I just need your love
So there’s not even a 1mm gap between us, freaky with that sticky, sticky
By your side, it’s refreshing and sweet (Sticky)
This feeling, just like a mango, it gives an appetite (Sticky)
It feels like I’ve landed on a sweltering island, I’m running a fever (Sticky)
A dizzying attraction, everything before my eyes is bright yellow
Sticky, icky, icky
Sticky, icky, icky, yeah, yeah
Sticky, icky, icky
Hands drenched in sweat, yeah
Sticky, icky, icky
Sticky, icky, icky, yeah, yeah
Sticky, icky, icky
Clinging to each other everyday
A tropical night where I can’t sleep (Tropical night)
Dreamin’ with my eyes wide open (All day)
A thick, syrupy dream that is “you”
It’s impossible to wake up (Ooh)
My sleep ran away a long time ago today
What should I do?
My blood sugar is dropping, my head is spinning
I need your sweetness
How you doin’? (How you doin’?)
Text me now (Text me now)
You’re curious, aren’t you? (Curious)
Every slice yeah, yeah, ah
A smile mixed with fruit juice
I want to see you right now
Coconut milk shower (Milk shower)
Let’s meet under it (Meet)
Bop all night long
Mango tango bop, yeah
Hold me tight, eyes on me
Ayy, ayy, ayy
The humming that leaks out
The drumming of my heart
This isn’t just some dessert
It’s the real main dishes (Love)
Yes
Main dishes, yeah (Yes)
Yes
Soaking in, like a squall in an instant (Sticky)
Moistening my unripe self (Sticky)
The palm tree in my heart reaches up high (Sticky)
Taking flight, I feel so high
(Chorus Repeat)
Clinging to each other everyday (Yeah)
(Sticky) By your side, it’s refreshing and sweet
(Yeah, sticky) This feeling, just like a mango, it gives an appetite
(Yeah, sticky) The imagination spreads, this is my paradise
(Yeah, sticky) You are my vacation spot, I want to live here forever
Yeah, sticky
