**[Baekhyun]**

봐봐 마술같이

한순간 빨려 들어 마치

모두가 짠 듯이 그녈 보네

머리를 쓸어 넘기니

모두 놀래 The truth is

**[Xiumin (CBX)]**

다 같은 맘일걸

한순간 남자라는 이름 아래 Rival돼

치명적인 저 미소는 Dangerous

(She’s so dangerous)

**[Chen]**

Oh 온몸이 짜릿해져 ‘아이야’ 오네

Oh, girl 두 눈을 뗄 수 없어 난

멀리서도 다 느껴져

**[Baekhyun (Chen)]**

도도한 그 표정 뒤에

숨겨놓은 미소가

나를 향한 것 같은데

확실해 자꾸만 마주치는

너의 예쁜 두 눈이

나를 자꾸 애타게 해

(Come on)

**[CBX]**

니 앞에 날 데려가

Just you and me alone

맘 가는 대로 그냥

널 내게 맡겨봐

I promise I will be the one

**[Chen]**

달콤한 니 목소린 예쁜 Melody

나를 들뜨게 만드는 걸

모든 걸 다 가진 듯한 기분 Nobody knows

너에게로 점점 더 빠져들어

**[Baekhyun]**

꿈인 걸까

지금 내 심장이

입안에 톡톡 튀는

사탕처럼 뛰네

**[Xiumin]**

오감에 퍼진

짜릿한 느낌 이 감정이

모두 사라져 버리기 전에

먼저 내민 내 손을 잡아주겠니?

**[Baekhyun (?)]**

코끝으로 스쳐가는

너의 샴푸 향기가

나를 잠시 멈추게 해

그 순간 살며시 스쳐간

니 부드런 손끝은

나를 정말 미치게 해

(Let's go!)

**[CBX]**

니 앞에 날 데려가

Just you and me alone

맘 가는 대로 그냥

널 내게 맡겨봐

**[Baekhyun]**

Look, it’s like magic

the way everyone’s drawn to her

It looks planned, the way everyone looks at once

When she flicks her hair back

everyone is surprised, the truth is

**[Xiumin (CBX)]**

We all feel the same

In that moment we all become rivals as men

Her fatal smile is dangerous

(She’s so dangerous)

**[Chen]**

Oh, my whole body is electrified like “ow”

Oh girl, I can’t take my eyes off you

I can feel it from afar

**[Baekhyun (Chen)]**

The smile hidden

behind your bold expression

seems like it’s meant for me

I’m sure, my eyes keep meeting

your pretty eyes

and they’re making me more impatient

(Come on)

**[CBX]**

Bring me over to you

Just you and me alone

However you like,

just leave it all to me

I promise I will be the one

**[Chen]**

Your sweet voice is a pretty melody,

it puts me over the moon

I feel like I’ve got everything, nobody knows

I fall for you more and more

**[Baekhyun]**

Is this a dream?

My heart is pounding

like candy that pops

in your mouth

**[Xiumin]**

This electrifying feeling

spreads through all of my senses

Before this feeling leaves me,

could you take my hand?

**[Baekhyun (?)]**

The smell of your shampoo

brushing past my nose

makes me stop for a moment

In that moment, the way your fingers

brush lightly past me

really drives me crazy

(Let's go!)

**[CBX]**

Bring me over to you

Just you and me alone

However you like,

just leave it all to me

**[Xiumin]**

I’ll approach you like a man, baby

Forget everything else

**[Chen]**

Right now, right here

**[Xiumin]**

The two of us, just me and you

**[CBX (Chen)]**

Bring me over to you

Just you and me alone

(You and me, you and me, yeah)

However you like,

just leave it all to me

(Leave it all to me)

**[Xiumin (Baekhyun)]**

Baby, let me be the one

Baby, let me be the one

(Baby, let me be the one)

**[Chen (Baekhyun)]**

We’re facing each other

surrounded by looks of jealousy

I hope it’s not a dream

(Baby, let me)
