Lyrics
Hangul
Look around, say I love ’em, all your lies
Only time will sort it out (if it’s right, if it’s wrong, then I’ll tell you)
Only time will sort it out (oh, now what’s wrong?)
Is it right? Is it wrong? I can tell you that I’ve outgrown
Look around, say I love ’em, all your lies
Only time will sort it out (is it right? Is it wrong? Could you tell me?)
Is it right? Is it wrong? Could you tell me it’s true?
Only time will sort it out (tell you it’s true, yeah, hey, ooh)
Pmm, pmm, pmm-pmm, let’s start the parade
If it’s by design, only time will sort it out
Pmm, pmm, pmm-pmm, let’s run the night
If it’s their design, only time will sort it out
Mmm, mmm, mmm-hmm, let’s end masquerade
If it’s by design, only time will sort it out
Oh, oh, oh-oh, what’s wrong is right (what’s wrong is right)
Yet it’s our design, and we’ll be marchin’
I see lovin’ all around the town (all around the town)
I see lovin’ all around and ’round (all around and ’round)
I see lovin’ all around the town (all around the town)
I see lovin’ all around
Look around, jump around like I live that raw
Motherfuckers in the crowd lick mine with that straw
And this, I write a letter to you, I be actin’ like that, “Who you?”
I’m around, in the club, and I be stampin’ on like, “Screw you!”
I just miss that, sometimes all those, our chit-chat
You hit me back a lotta times, I never did that
I can’t barely sleep, I got yo’ ghost in my closet
If you want my bad and some tears, give you the loot, it’s a loop shit
I’m gonna roll, you roll ’em up every time
I’m gonna ride till the hate and love ain’t matter
I never mind ’cause I wanna do is dance better
I’m sick and tired of you digital trendsetters
Know I ain’t cool, but I’m in a move
All in fuckin’ numb, and everything is rude in a mood
I’ma burp loud, everything’s gettin’ rather loose
And above cloud, and I’m down with you, let it loose
내가 또 잠에 든다면, 나를 좀 때려줘
속이 좀 안좋아, 그래, 그냥 좀 내려줘
길을 잃고, 난 뒤 경치가 더 beautiful
내 꼴 마치 꼭 발견되길 소원하는 분실물
길을 잃은 우리들, we ain’t look so pitiful
이제야 그 미소 띠며, 치켜들어 중지를
Yeah, all the past, the present, I’ma pass, then give it to you
난 고장난 내가 좋아, bitch, that’s the shit
Look around (you gotta look around), say I love ’em, all your lies
Only time will sort it out (if it’s right, if it’s wrong, then I’ll tell you)
Only time will sort it out (oh, now what’s wrong?)
Is it right? Is it wrong? I can tell you that I’ve outgrown
Look around, say I love ’em, all your lies
Only time will sort it out (is it right? Is it wrong? Could you tell me?)
Is it right? Is it wrong? Could you tell me it’s true?
Only time will sort it out (tell you it’s true, hey, yeah, ooh)
