라라라 라라라 라라라라라
라라라 라라라 라라라라라

또 너는 ask me
무슨 생각을 하고 있는지
Not my business, 나도 날 몰라
내 마음 따라 playing
좋긴 좋은데 love or like
숨었다가도 나타나, yeah, yeah, yeah
맞고 틀린 게 어딨지
Cheshire처럼, it's alright

자꾸 물어보면 boring
뭐든 내 맘대로, play a trick (play a trick)
정해진 답은 없어 you want to know

원한다면 힌틀 줄게
나머진 free 하게 날
[Yuna/Lia] 네 마음속에 풀어놔 줘, 라라라라라

Hey, why so serious?
보이는 것 그대로 날 믿어봐 (hey)
어렵게 생각 마, nothing's wrong, right?
Can you see me?
Hey, why so curious?
머리 말고 네 느낌을 믿어봐 (hey)
심각해지지 마
Anything's right (라라라라라)

내 미소는 이상하지
그래도 너는 like me (yeah, I feel so free)
눈 감음, 사라지지
미소는 남겨둘게
어둠 속에 반짝인 eyes
누군간 날 조명 삼아
길을 찾아낼 지도 I wanna go
봐봐, 봐봐, 잘 찾아봐 (yeah, ay)

Follow 이제 다음 story
여전히 너는 wondering (wondering)
[Chaeryeong/Ryujin] 그런 표정, 라라라라라

Hey, why so serious?
보이는 것 그대로 날 믿어봐 (hey)
어렵게 생각 마, nothing's wrong, right?
Can you see me?
Hey, why so curious?
머리 말고 네 느낌을 믿어봐 (hey)
심각해지지 마
Anything's right, 라라라라라 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

라라라 라라라 라라라라라
라라라 라라라 라라라라라, why so serious? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
라라라 라라라 라라라라라
라라라 라라라 라라라라라, why so curious?

내 뒤에 가려진 내 맘 사실
나도 몰라 what I want (oh)
대체 왜 그게 중요해? (we're gonna do it, right?)
Will you join me?
네 앞에 펼쳐진
이 순간을 즐기면 돼 이대로 (hey)
Nothing's wrong, nothing's right

라라라 라라라라라 (hey, hey, hey, hey)
라라라 라라라 라라라라라
라라라 라라라 라라라라라, why so serious? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
라라라 라라라 라라라라라
라라라 라라라 라라라라라, why so curious?
라라라 라라라 라라

Again, you ask me
What I'm thinking about
Not my business, don't know myself
Just following my heart, playing
Kind of like you, love or like
It's like hide and seek, yeah, yeah, yeah
There's no right or wrong
Like the Cheshire cat, it's alright

Stop asking, you're boring
All is up to me, play a trick (play a trick)
There's no answer to what you want to know

I'll give you a hint if you want
But the rest, just let me be free
[Yuna/Lia] In your mind let me roam, la-la-la-la-la

Hey, why so serious?
Just trust what you see (hey)
Don't complicate it, nothing's wrong, right?
Can you see me?
Hey, why so curious?
Trust your gut, not your logic (hey)
Just take it easy
Anything's right (la-la-la-la-la)

My smile is strange
But you still like me (yeah, I feel so free)
I'll be gone when you close your eyes
But I'll leave my smile here
In the dark, shining eyes
Someone might find their path
With my light, I wanna go
Look, look, look, look, look closely (yeah, ay)

Follow now for the next story
You're still wondering (wondering)
[Chaeryeong/Ryujin] Look at your face, la-la-la-la-la

Hey, why so serious?
Just trust what you see (hey)
Don't complicate it, nothing's wrong, right?
Can you see me?
Hey, why so curious?
Trust your gut, not your logic (hey)
Just take it easy
Anything's right, la-la-la-la-la (hey, hey, hey, hey)

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, why so serious? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, why so curious?

The intentions behind me
I don't know what I want (oh)
Why does that matter so much? (we're gonna do it, right?)
Will you join me?
It's right in front of you
Just enjoy the moment like that (hey)
Nothing's wrong, nothing's right

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (hey, hey, hey, hey)
