넌 정말 licorice (Uh; Woo)
Licorice (Yeah; Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
계속 맴돌아 like licorice
[Verse 1: Winter, Giselle, Karina]
Really not like that
Really, really not like that (Ooh-woo)
이건 뭐랄까
정말 낯선 느낌, yeah
널 보고 있어 또 silly (Silly)
생각이 나 no kidding (Kidding)
대체, what?
괜히 그냥 짜증나 (Yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Karina, Winter]
전혀 다른 type 전에 없던 stuff
예상도 못 한 사고처럼 crush (Like, like, like)
뒤를 돌아선 그 순간부터
홀린 것처럼 다시 돌아서 (다시 돌아서)
[Chorus: Giselle, All, Ningning, Karina]
It tastes so sweet but sour (Yeah)
Oh, sugar and spice
처음이야 이런 (Yeah)
내 감정의 폭
넌 정말 licorice (Uh; Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Refrain: Winter, All, Karina, Ningning]
I wanna scream and shout (Woo)
훅 끌리는 맘
위험해도 (Uh) 좋아 (Yeah)
널 못 놓겠어
넌 정말 licorice (Licorice; Woo)
Licorice (Licorice; Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
자꾸 손이 가 like licorice (Uh, yeah)

It's the bomb like that (Like that)
It's the, it's the bomb like that (Woo, woo)
한 번 터지면 (Uh)
Sticky, sticky, oh, my God (Sticky)
방심한 틈 난 hooked (Hooked)
덫에 걸려들어, all shook (Shook)
내 머릿속엔, no (No)
But say "Let's go, let's go, go"
[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Giselle & Ningning, Karina]
소름 돋는 thrill 뭔가 색달라
다른 건 재미없어, 시시해 (Like, like, like)
마비된 듯해 모든 감각도
어떤 자극도 오지 않는 걸
[Chorus: Ningning, All, Winter]
It tastes so sweet but sour (Nice)
Oh, sugar and spice
처음이야 (야) 이런 (이런)
내 감정의 폭 (Uh)
넌 정말 licorice (Uh; Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Bridge: Karina, Winter, Giselle, Ningning]
이런 내 모습 이런 내 맘이
나도 이해가 안 되지
피할 수 없어, 이건 gravity
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
아찔한 dynamite
알지만 못 참아
어딘가, 어딘가 고장 났어
더 크게, 더 크게 번져가 (Uh, 크게 번져가)
[Refrain: Winter, All, Giselle]
I wanna scream and shout
왜인진 몰라
미묘한 듯 좋아
딱 붙어있어
넌 정말 licorice (Licorice; Woo)
Licorice (Licorice; Woo)
Licorice (Woo)
자꾸 떠올라 like licorice (Licorice)

[Intro: All, Karina, Giselle]
You're like licorice (ah, woo)
Licorice (yeah, woo)
Licorice (woo)
You keep lingering around like licorice
[Verse 1: Winter, Giselle, Karina]
Really, not like that
Really, really not like that (woo, oh)
This is such a strange feeling, how should I describe it?
I see you and I feel silly again (silly)
I can't help but think about you, no kidding (kidding)
Seriously, what?
I'm just getting annoyed for no reason (yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Karina, Winter]
A completely different type, something I've never experienced before
I'm crushing on you like an unexpected accident (like, like, like)
The moment I spin away from you
I'm drawn back to you like I'm under a spell (come back, come back)
[Chorus: Giselle, All, Ningning, Karina]
It tastes so sweet but sour (Yeah)
Oh, sugar and spice
This is the first time I've felt like this (Yeah)
The intensity of my emotions
You're like licorice (uh; woo)
Licorice (woo)
Licorice (woo)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Refrain: Winter, All, Karina, Ningning]
I wanna scream and shout (Woo)
I'm drawn to you like a moth to a flame
It's dangerous (Uh), but I like it (Yeah)
I can't let you go
You're like licorice (licorice; woo)
Licorice (licorice; woo)
Licorice (woo)
My hand keeps reaching out for you like licorice (Uh, yeah)
[Verse 2: Ningning, Karina, Giselle, Winter]
It's the bomb like that (Like that)
It's the, it's the bomb like that (Woo, woo)
Once it explodes (Uh)
Sticky, sticky, oh, my God (Sticky)
I let my guard down and got hooked (Hooked)
I'm all shook up, trapped in your snare (Shook)
My mind is saying no (No)
But I'm saying let's go, let's go, go
[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Giselle & Ningning, Karina]
A spine-tingling thrill, something different
Everything else is boring and insignificant (like, like, like)
I feel numb, all my senses
No stimulation can reach me
[Chorus: Ningning, All, Winter]
It tastes so sweet but sour (Nice)
Oh, sugar and spice
This is the first time (Time) I've felt like this (This)
The intensity of my emotions (Uh)
You're like licorice (uh; woo)
Licorice (woo)
Licorice (woo)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Bridge: Karina, Winter, Giselle, Ningning]
This is how I am, this is how I feel
I don't even understand myself
I can't escape it
This is gravity
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Thrilling dynamite
I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist
Something, somewhere
Is broken
It's spreading, growing stronger
[Refrain: Winter, All, Giselle]
I wanna scream and shout
I don't know why
I like it, it's subtle
I'm stuck to you like glue
You're like licorice (licorice; woo)
Licorice (licorice; woo)
Licorice (woo)
You keep popping up in my thoughts like licorice (Licorice)
[Refrain: Ningning, All, Karina]
Scream and shout
I'm drawn to you like a moth to a flame
It's dangerous, but I like it
I can't let you go
You're like licorice (licorice; woo)
Licorice (licorice; woo)
Licorice (woo)
My hand keeps reaching out for you like licorice
