UAU “GENE” Lyrics

Hangul

Pull up in a motion flashing lights, I own the night (Night)
모든 것을 선택해 난 something I decide
가르쳐줄게 my recipe, but I don’t mind (Ooh)
I don’t need no validation, I’m the jealous type (Yeah)
Put you in a dress, it’s chemistry, I’m sending the address
I don’t wanna say, it’s getting late, we’ll throw the stress away
If you want something, tell me, tell me all (Oh, yeah, oh)
우리 약속도 기억하지 알잖아

We’re setting up our rules (Rules)
아침 해가 뜰 때까지 make it smooth
‘Cause we’ll full of sweets, let me keep it tasty
Know you can’t go back (Back), no time to second guess
Heartbeats syncing you and I

Set me the mood, we’re a different gene, gene, gene, gene
Get on this groove, we on the magazine-zine-zine-zine
Drive it up high, make it all extreme-reme-reme-reme
Rocking my move, we’re a different gene, gene, gene, gene
Set me the mood
Get on this groove
Drive it up high
Rocking my move

We on the spot, topping it, no stopping it, we drippin’, oh, yeah
Bring the party, just feel the music and stamp it, lock it, oh, yeah
이 밤의 우린 seize the moment, let’s blow it away (Yeah)
이 순간을 we make it golden (Golden)

We’re setting up our rules
아침 해가 뜰 때까지 make it smooth
‘Cause we’ll full of sweets, let me keep it tasty
Know you can’t go back (Back, back), if you want it too
Want you to feel alive

Set me the mood, we’re a different gene, gene, gene, gene
Get on this groove (Yeah), we on the magazine-zine-zine-zine
Drive it up high (High), make it all extreme-reme-reme-reme
Rocking my move, we’re a different gene, gene, gene, gene
Set me the mood (Yeah)
Get on this groove
Drive it up high
Rocking my move

Looking at me, I’m looking at you, we’re innocent
Making it in time, somewhere you had never been
Living like me, I’m something that you’ve never seen
I’m a different gene, I’m a different gene

Set me the mood (Set me the mood, get on this groove)
Get on this groove (Ayy, yeah-eh)
Drive it up high (Ooh, ooh, rocking my move, yeah)
Rocking my move (Ah, ah-ah)
Set me the mood
Get on this groove
Drive it up high
Rocking my move

Pull up in a motion flashing lights, I own the night (Night)
