Bad Guy (Nappeun Namja)

Girl: Hey!  How could you do this?
How could you do this to me?
Oh no—how?  How could you trick me?
Huh?  Hey—tell me…!

I’m the kind of man who will surely dump you
Beautiful one, you can’t be my girl
I’ll end up leaving you, kicking you to the curb (Why is my conscience bothering me like this?)
I like you, but I can’t make you mine
(Don’t let us break up like this)

[hook] I’m not the guy for you
I’m not the right person for you
I’m not the kind of man you should know
I’m a bad guy, I’m a bad guy

To many other people
I couldn’t quite show myself
You were the only one for me
I wanted to be in love with you
(One day, someday, give me your heart
I’ll listen
I’m tired of the tough times
When I’m with you I always feel like that)
I’m a bad guy, I need to tell you I’m a guy—

[hook]

Girl: Oh no—how?  How could you trick me?
Huh?  Hey—tell me…!

[talk] (expletive) I’m sorry—
At the start I didn’t think much about it
You didn’t know how much I really wanted you
That’s how it was the few times we met
It’s the truth
I don’t want to think of the pain I caused you
I’m so sorry, maybe being sorry is of no use to anyone
“I’m sorry” is a useless thing to say now
But I truly loved you

[hook]

Because Of You

[hook] Because of you… please smile for me again
Because of you… please let me come back
You have no idea, have you? How much I’ve changed?
Because of you… it’s all because of you
Because of you, I dreamt—oh…
I know I can be happy again

Like a drop of water that fell on my shirt, so slowly
You seeped into my heart
That look in your eyes… I remember it
Little by little, you captured my heart

[hook]

You’ve been secretly watching me, a lot
I’ve become stronger [than I was in the past]
You treasure me now, though you show no emotion
I know everything you’ve been thinking [about me]

[hook]

[bridge] Only you, unlike all the others who left
There is only you… finally
I can live on just like this

[altered hook] Because of you… please smile for me again
Because of you… please let me come back (I need you, and I want you, baby)
You have no idea, have you? How much I’ve changed? (I need you in my life)
Because of you… it’s all because of you (It’s really because of you)
Because of you, I dreamt—oh…
I know I can be happy again

[hook]

It’s all because of you
I just want to be with you…
It’s all because of you, baby
(It’s all because of you, girl)
My baby…

Busan Woman (부산 여자 | Busan yeoja)

It’s [a] simple thing…

New York, L.A., heheheh, Paris, Tokyo… (clears throat) This… is…

[hook] Busan woman, she’s so pretty
She blinds my eyes, I can’t look at her, Baby
Busan woman, she’s looking at me, winking and whispering

I met her on a corner street at sunny Haeundae Beach
Her eyes were like warm sunlight
I can’t take my eyes off of her

Just as if — as if you’re like an angel
Just as if — as if you’re the girl in my dreams
Just as if — as if I finally found the girl of my dreams, Oh Baby

[hook]

Please stop looking at me—
my heart is trembling and I keep sweating — what do I do?
Even my fingernails have flushed red
You’re exactly my style — even the shape of your foot is pretty
Even the way you talk is so pretty

Just as if — as if you’ re like an angel
Just as if — as if you’re the girl in my dreams
Just as if — as if, Hey you are my girl — I love you

[hook]

[bridge] Please don’t leave me—
The moment I first saw you, I knew you were my love yeah—
Don’t do anything you’ll regret — you only have me
Let’s start dating from now on

Busan woman, she’s so pretty
She blinds my eyes, I can’t look at her, Baby (Only you)
Busan woman, she’s looking at me, winking and whispering

Busan woman, she’s so pretty
She blinds my eyes, I can’t look at her, Baby
(She really does blind you)
Busan woman, she’s looking at me, winking and whispering
(She looks at me and winks, for me)

(chuckle) (Do you have some time?)

Can’t Get Used To (Iksukjil anhaso)

Today I met you by chance
That person who I had heard about was there with you
I was so surprised because there was a smile on your face
A smile that had never been there when you were with me

I guess I seemed pathetic to you, so lonely and sad
There were tears in my eyes
So you asked me why I was crying, why I was hurting so much
I tried to lie to you
But when I saw you looking at me I couldn’t help myself
All the words that were in my heart spilled out

[hook] Going to bed alone, waking up alone
Eating meals alone, I can’t get used to that
Liking something alone, feeling sad alone
I can’t get used to that, I can’t get used to it

Why can’t I forget you?
Even now if I think of you tears fill my eyes
Enough time has passed for me to forget about you
So why can’t I forget you even after all this time?
There was a time before we met when I lived alone
I say to myself that I’ll try to go back to that time
But then all I see is the empty space that you have left

[hook]

Escaping The Sun

Memories of me crying are harder to look at in the light
I hate the sun shining on the ground
People asked why I cried
I hated not being able to answer them

[hook] I need to escape the sun
But no matter how hard I run
The sun is always overhead, illuminating
I need to forget you
But no matter how hard I try
You’re there, still inside of me

Why must I continue to miss your smile
And the touch of your hands?
I hate this torture
While so many others
Laugh and share past stories
I try to forget you, over and over
But tears still find me

[hook]

[bridge] Everyone’s fooled into thinking I’ve forgotten you
It’s not true, I’m going crazy
I fight to erase the memories
But it’s not working

[hook]

[rap] Like a thorn stuck so deep it can’t be removed
Like a painful scratch that leaves a scar
A person like you can’t ever be erased
Though we’re apart, we’re still together
If only tears could erase you
But I’ve already cried a river
I need to forget and live right
If only I could be normal again
I want to live normally…

Even You (Neomajeo)

I just couldn’t end it, yeah-hey
I was too cowardly
If I saw you crying [because of me]
It would make me feel worthless

I couldn’t say I was pulling out [of our relationship], yeah-hey
and have you hear that from me
I couldn’t talk to you because
Angry as I was, the angrier I became

[hook] Even you are lost [like me]
If it is so hard on you
[It’s because] You lived thinking that you could get happiness from me

Why has this happened?  yeah-hey
When did things turn this way?
Sometime when I’m better, I’ll phone and perhaps we can talk

[hook]

[bridge] If you are happy, really happy
I would have done anything then, but now what?

[hook]
