    [Refrain: All]

    Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum

    Chew-chew-chew-chew

    Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew

    Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum


    [Verse 1: Mark, Jaemin, Jeno, Jisung]

    내 까만 스니커즈를 지금 멈추게 (만든 너)

    Nae kkaman seunikojeureul jigeum momchuge (mandeun no)

    You made my black sneakers stop in place (you made it)


    범인 어서 나와 나와 좋은 말할 때 (빨리 나와)

    Bomin oso nawa nawa joeun malhal ttae (ppalri nawa)

    Come out, culprit, when you say something nice (Hurry up)

    끈적한 발이 떨어지지 않는 게 (조금 전)

    Kkeunjokan bari ttorojiji anneun ge (jogeum jon)

    My sticky feet won't move (a while ago)


    뱉은지 얼마 안된 것이 분명해 (딱 기다려)

    Baeteunji olma andwen gosi bunmyonghae (ttak gidaryo)

    I'm sure it hasn't been long since it was spit out (wait right away)


    [Pre-Chorus: Haechan, Chenle]

    넌지시 마주치는 시선이 어색해

    Nonjisi majuchineun sisoni osaekae

    It's awkward to look at each other.


    천천히 다가가자 딴 곳을 보는 걸

    Chonchonhi dagagaja ttan goseul boneun gol

    Let's take our time and look somewhere else


    역시 널 찾아내기 어렵지 않았어

    Yokssi nol chajanaegi oryopjji anasso

    As expected, it wasn't hard to find you.


    그런데 화내기엔 너무나 예쁜 너

    Geuronde hwanaegien nomuna yeppeun no

    But you're too pretty to be angry at.


    [Chorus: All]

    풍선 불어봐 누가 누가 더 커질까

    Pungson burobwa nuga nuga do kojilkka

    Blow a bubble. Whose will get the biggest?


    자신 있어 부드러운 chewing gum

    Jasin isso budeuroun chewing gum

    I'm confident, soft chewing gum


    조심스레 네게 네게 더 다가와

    Josimseure nege nege do dagawa

    Carefully come closer to you


    터질 듯 부푼 내 마음은 chewing gum

    Tojil deut bupun nae maeumeun chewing gum

    My heart that's so swollen that it's going to explode, chewing gum


    [Refrain: All]

    Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum

    Chew-chew-chew-chew

    Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew

    Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum


    너는 내 chewing gum

    Noneun nae chewing gum

    You're my chewing gum


    [Verse 2: Jaemin, Jeno, Jisung, Mark]

    신기해 자꾸 마주치고 있잖아 (너와 나)

    Singihae jakku majuchigo itjjana (nowa na)

    It's amazing, we keep bumping into each other (you and I)


    매일 똑같은 길을 같이 걷잖아 (신경 쓰여)

    Maeil ttokkkateun gireul gachi gotjjana (singyong sseuyo)

    We walk the same path everyday (it bothers me)


    궁금해 너란 애는 어떤 아인지 (다가가)

    Gunggeumhae noran aeneun otton ainji (dagaga)

    I'm curious what kind of person you are (Approaching)


    언제쯤 말을 걸까 고민하게 돼 (너만 보면)

    Onjejjeum mareul golkka gominhage dwae (noman bomyon)

    When can I talk to you? It makes me think (when I see you)


    [Pre-Chorus: Renjun, Chenle]

    공기가 들어간 듯 갈수록 커져가

    Gonggiga deurogan deut galsurok kojoga

    As if the air went in, it's getting bigger and bigger


    내 마음이 너로 가득 채워진 것 같아

    Nae maeumi noro gadeuk chaewojin got gata

    I feel like my heart is filled with you


    커지면 커질수록 점점 투명해져

    Kojimyon kojilsurok jomjom tumyonghaejo

    The bigger it gets, the more transparent it gets.


    내 마음을 이제 더는 숨길 수도 없게

    Nae maeumeul ije doneun sumkkil sudo opkke

    So that I can't hide my feelings anymore


    [Chorus: All]

    풍선 불어봐 누가 누가 더 커질까

    Pungson burobwa nuga nuga do kojilkka

    Blow the bubble. Who will get the biggest?


    자신 있어 부드러운 chewing gum

    Jasin isso budeuroun chewing gum

    I'm confident, soft chewing gum


    조심스레 네게 네게 더 다가와

    Josimseure nege nege do dagawa

    Carefully come closer to you


    분위기를 잡고 너는 내 chewing gum

    Bunwigireul japkko noneun nae chewing gum

    Set the mood, you're my healing chewing gum


    [Refrain: All]

    Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum

    Chew-chew-chew-chew

    Chew-chew-chew-chew-chew

    Chew-chew-chew-chew chewing gum

    [Verse 3: Mark]

    내 마음에 붙어라 chewing gum

    Nae maeume butora chewing gum

    Stick to my heart, chewing gum


    Chewing gum, chewing gum

    Chew you like chewing


    검 딱지처럼 붙어줘

    Gom ttakjjichorom butojwo

    Stick to me like a gum


    중독있어 너라는 거 끈적해

    Jungdogisso noraneun go kkeunjokae

    I'm addicted to you. You're sticky.


    끌리는 것 같아 너무 다양해

    Kkeulrineun got gata nomu dayanghae

    I think I'm attracted. So much variety.


    내 마음에 터트려줄래

    Nae maeume toteuryojulrae

    Will you burst it into my heart?


    Like chewing gum, chewing gum, you're my 주인공

    Like chewing gum, chewing gum, you're my juingong

    Like chewing gum, chewing gum, you're my star


    쉽게 떼낼 수 없는 girl

    Swipkke ttenael su omneun girl

    I can't take it off easily, girl


    [Chorus: All]

    함께 있어봐 누가 누가 더 원할까

    Hamkke issobwa nuga nuga do wonhalkka

    Stay together. Who wants more?


    내기 할까 달콤한 chewing gum

    Naegi halkka dalkomhan chewing gum

    Shall we make a bet? Sweet Chewing Gum


    장난스레 내게 내게 난 다가가

    Jangnanseure naege naege nan dagaga

    As a joke, I go to you


    예감이 좋아 너는 내 chewing gum

    Yegami joa noneun nae chewing gum

    I have a good feeling, you're my chewing gum
