모든 게 나에게 여자가
여자다운 것을 강요해
날 바라보는 네 야릇한
시선들이 난 싫어
(약한 여자 사랑에 약한 여자 Whoo)
내게 강요하지 마
틀에 갇혀버릴 내가 아닌 걸
전부 나의 뜻대로

나는 나인걸
누구도 대신 하지 말아
(그렇게 만만하게
넘어갈 내가 아니야)

내 모습 그대로
당당하고 싶어
(그늘에 갇혀 사는
여자를 기대하지 마)

섹시한, 차분한, 영원히
한 남자만 아는 따분함
그건 바로 착각
모든 남자들의 관심사

난 이 세상을
모두 바꿔버릴 꿈을 다 가진걸
(Get it up 난 부족해
Get it up 모든 게 다)

말이 되지 않잖아
그들만의 평등 같은 건
그대들이 만든 기준에 맞게

나는 나인걸
누구도 대신 하지 말아
(그렇게 만만하게
넘어갈 내가 아니야)

내 모습 그대로
당당하고 싶어
(그늘에 갇혀 사는
여자를 기대하지 마)

모든 게 나에게 여자가
여자다운 것을 강요해
더 이상은 참지 말아
Shake it everything, I like that

마음을 더 열어 봐
우린 같은 곳을 향해 가잖아
모두 함께 영원 할텐데
서로 다른 성 일뿐
존재하기 위한 인간인걸
Why 이젠 부정하지 마

남자들 모두가 세상의 진리는
절대로 불변의 법칙이라고
이 칼을 잡은 난 세상의 지배자
힘의 논리 남자만의 법칙들
아주 웃기시네 Blurr blurr blurr blurr
(Do you need money? I pay you)
돈에 눈이 멀어 자존심을 사는 남자
그대 이젠 맞이해라 Dooms and a dooms
자 이제 보아 얘길 담아 듣자
새 시대 Story, girls on top

이 세상의 반
그건 여자들이 만들 거야
(Go, baby! Girl, rise up!
Throw your hands up! Do you like that?)

당당하게 난
멀리 앞을 향해 걸어갈래
(Go, baby! Go, baby!)
Yeah

나는 나인걸
누구도 대신 하지 말아
(그렇게 만만하게
넘어갈 내가 아니야)

내 모습 그대로
당당하고 싶어
(그늘에 갇혀 사는
여자를 기대하지 마)

Everybody demands that
I be ladylike
I don’t like how you’re
Gazing at me so oddly
(Weak woman, lovesick woman whoo)
Don’t demand from me
I’m not trapped in a picture frame
Everything is my way

I’m me
No one can take my place
(I’m not one to
Let things pass so easily)

I want my image
To be strong
(Don’t expect me to
Always stand in the shade)

A girl who’s sexy, calm, boring
And knows only one guy
That’s a misunderstanding
I’m the center of every man’s interest

I have a dream to change
This world
(Get it up, I don’t have what it takes
Get it up, at all)

That doesn’t make any sense
You’re just taking their sides
so that you can comply to their standards

I’m me
No one can take my place
(I’m not one to
Let things pass so easily)

I want my image
To be strong
(Don’t expect me to
Always stand in the shade)

Everybody demands that
I be ladylike
Don’t take it anymore
Shake it everything, I like that

Open up you’re heart more
Cause we’re going to the same place
We’ll all be forever together
Just different last names, that
Humans have put to use
Why, don’t be uncertain any longer

All guys think that worldy truth is
An immutable law
I hold this knife to control the world
The logic of strength is a man’s law
You must be kidding me blurr blurr blurr blurr
(Do you need money? I pay you)
Money buys away a man’s selfworth
Now meet your doom!
Now, let’s listen to what BoA has to say
In this new century, girls on top

Half of the world
has been made by women
(Go, baby! Girl, rise up!
Throw your hands up! Do you like that?)

I’m going to walk forward
With confidence
(Go, baby! Go, baby!)
Yeah

I’m me
No one can take my place
(I’m not one to
Let things pass so easily)

I want my image
To be strong
(Don’t expect me to
Always stand in the shade)
