Love B is the opening first track of IU's third L.P, Modern Times.
[Verse 1]
뻔히 봐놓고 답장은 안 해
Ppeonhi bwanoko dapjangeun an hae
You clearly saw my text but there's no answer
얼마나 바쁘시길래
Eolmana bappeusigillae
끝나고 뭐해 얼굴 좀 볼까
Kkeutnago mwohae eolgul jom bolkka
What're you doing afterwards? Wanna meet up?
오늘 우리 얘기 좀 해
Oneul uri yaegi jom hae
Let's talk
[Verse 2]
언뜻 패턴은 비슷하지만
Eontteut paeteoneun biseutajiman
The pattern is similar but
연애 초기 그것관 달라
Yeonae chogi geugeotgwan dalla
It's different from the beginning of our relationship
모른 척 해도 이건 더 이상
Moreun cheok haedo igeon deo isang
I could pretend to not notice but
밀고 당기기가 아냐
Milgo danggigiga anya
This isn't about playing hard to get
[Chorus]
미묘한 신경전들이
Mimyohan singyeongjeondeuri
We don't need
더는 필요치 않은 사이
Deoneun pillyochi anheun sai
the subtle mind games anymore
늘어질 대로
Neureojil daero
It's dragging and dragging,
늘어져가는 Running time
Neureojyeoganeun running time
Our running time
[Verse 3]
눈칠 살피며 시간만 끌어
Nunchil salpimyeo siganman kkeureo
We're carefully eyeing each other and wasting time
애태우는 저의가 뭐야
Aetaeuneun jeouiga mwoya
What is your real intention of making me anxious?
유통기한은 끝난 지 오래
Yutonggihaneun kkeutnan ji orae
It's been long since our expiration date has passed
상해도 한참 상했지
Sanghaedo hancham sanghaetji
Our relationship has completely spoiled
[Chorus]
혀 끝을 지나기도 전에
Hyeo kkeuteul jinagido jeone
Even before it rolls off the tip of your tongue,
벌써 지루해져 버린 내 이름
Beolsseo jiruhaejyeo beorin nae ireum
my name already sounds so boring
애인스럽게 불려본 게 언제던가
Aeinseureopge bullyeobon ge eonjedeonga
When was the last time you called my name like a lover?
짠해
Jjanhae
So sad
[Verse 4]
다시 끓기도 푹 식히기도
Dasi kkeurkido puk sikhigido
Can't make things boiling hot or completely cooled
뜻뜨미적지근한 온도
Tteutthteumijeokjigeunhan ondo
The temperature is at a lukewarm state
끝이 보이질 않는 이 눈치 게임
Kkeuchi boijil annneun i nunchi geim
There is no end to these mind games
하루도 더 못해 그래 내가 졌어
Harudo deo motae geurae naega jyeosseo
I can't do this for another day, fine, I lost
에라이 비겁한 남자야
Erai bigeophan namjaya
Ugh, you coward
