I'm twenty three
난 수수께끼 (Question)
Nan susukkekki (Question)
I'm a riddle (Question)
뭐게요 맞혀봐요
Mwogeyo majyeobwayo
Try to guess the answer
I'm twenty three
틀리지 말기 Because
Teulliji malgi because
Don't be wrong Because
난 몹시 예민해요
Nan mopshi yeminhaeyo
I am very sensitive
맞혀봐
Majyeobwa
Try to guess
[Verse 2]
한 떨기 스물셋 좀
Han ddeolgi seumulset jom
A bunch of twenty three
아가씨 태가 나네
Agassi taega nane
Now becomes little feminine
다 큰 척해도 적당히 믿어줘요
Da keun cheokhaedo jeokdanghi mideojwoyo
Trust me moderately if I pretend to be a grown up
얄미운 스물셋
Yalmiun seumulset
Cunning twenty three
아직 한참 멀었다 얘
Ajik hancham meoreottda yae
Still long way to go, girl
덜 자란 척해도
Deol jaran cheokhaedo
If I pretend to be immature
대충 속아줘요
Daechung sokajwoyo
Please be fooled roughly
[Pre-Chorus]
난, 그래 확실히 지금이 좋아요
Nan, geurae hwaksilhi jigeumi johayo
I, yes, like now for sure
아냐, 아냐 사실은 때려 치고 싶어요
Anya, anya sasileun ddaeryeo chigo sipeoyo
No, frankly speaking I wanna give up
아 알겠어요 나는 사랑이 하고 싶어
A argesseoyo naneun sarangi hago sipeo
Oh right I want to be in love
아니 돈이나 많이 벌래
Ani donina manhi beollae
No I rather make money
맞혀봐

Try to guess
[Chorus]
어느 쪽이게?
Eoneu jjogige?
Which one?
얼굴만 보면 몰라
Eolgulman bomyeon molla
You cannot tell with my face
속마음과 다른 표정을 짓는 일
Sokmaeumgwa dareun pyojeongeul jineun il
Making an opposite facial expression
아주 간단하거든
Aju gandanhageodeun
To the heart is really simple
어느 쪽이게?
Eoneu jjogige?
Which one?
사실은 나도 몰라
Sasileun nado molla
Actually I don't know either
애초에 나는 단 한 줄의
Aechoe naneun dan han jului
At first, I never wrote
거짓말도 쓴 적이 없거든
Geojitmaldo sseun jeoki eobtgeodeun
Even a single line of lies
[Post-Chorus]
여우인 척, 하는 곰인 척,
Yeouin cheok, haneun gomin cheok,
Pretend to be a fox that pretends to be a bear
하는 여우 아니면
Haneun yeou animyeon
That pretends to be a fox
아예 다른 거
Aye dareun geo
Or completely different one
어느 쪽이게?
Eoneu jjogige
Which one?
뭐든 한 쪽을 골라
Mwodeunhan jjogeul golla
Choose only one whatever it is
색안경 안에 비춰지는 거 뭐
Saekangyeong ane bichwojineun geo mwo
Being seen through the sunglasses,
이제 익숙하거든
Ije iksokhageodeun
I'm used to it now
[Interlude]
Check it out
[Verse 3]
겁나는 게 없어요
Geobnaneun ge eobseoyo
There's nothing I'm afraid of
엉망으로 굴어도
Eongmangeuro gureodo
Even if I act rudely
사람들은 내게 매일 친절해요
Saramdeureun naege maeil chinjeolhaeyo
People are always kind to me
인사하는 저 여자
Insahaneun jeo yeoja
The woman saying hello to me
모퉁이를 돌고도 아직 웃고 있을까
Motungireul dolgodo ajik utgo isseulkka
Is she still smiling after going round the corner?
늘 불안해요
Neul buranhaeyo
I'm always anxious
[Pre-Chorus]
난, 영원히 아이로 남고 싶어요
Nan, yeongwonhi airo namgo sipeoyo
아니, 아니 물기 있는 여자가 될래요
Ani, ani mulgi issneun yeojaga dwoellaeyo
No, I want to be a moist woman
아 정했어요 난 죽은 듯이 살래요
A jeonghaesseoyo nan jukeun deushi sallaeyo
Yes, I will live silently as death
아냐, 다 뒤집어 볼래
Anya, da dwijibi bollae
No I will turn everything inside out

난 당신 맘에 들고 싶어요
Nan dangsin mame deulgo sipeoyo
I want you to like me
아주 살짝만 얄밉게 해도 돼요?
Aju saljjakman yalmipge haedo dwaeyo?
Can I be nasty a little?
난 당신 맘에 들고 싶어요
Nan dangsin mame deulgo sipeoyo
I want you to like me
자기 머리 꼭대기 위에서 놀아도 돼요?
