    [Verse 1: Taeyong, YangYang]

    바쁜 어깨 사이

    Bappeun okkae sai

    Between busy shoulders

    빠른 걸음으로 걸어 like I'm a kid

    Ppareun goreumeuro goro like I'm a kid

    Walk fast like I'm a kid

    꿈을 꾸는 기분

    Kkumeul kkuneun gibun

    It feels like I'm dreaming

    볼을 꼬집어보네

    Boreul kkojibobone

    Pinching my cheek

    Oh my, it's real

    머뭇거리기엔 시간이 너무 아까워

    Momutkkorigien sigani nomu akkawo

    It's such a waste of time to hesitate

    온몸이 얼어버린 대도

    Onmomi oroborin daedo

    Even though my whole body is frozen

    너와 눈이 마주치면

    Nowa nuni majuchimyon

    When our eyes meet

    전부 녹아내려, huh

    Jonbu noganaeryo, huh

    It's all melting, huh


    [Pre-Chorus: Kun, Chenle]

    어디야? 지금 내가 갈게

    Odiya jigeum naega galge

    Where are you? I'll go now

    넌 그대로 거기 있어

    Non geudaero gogi isso

    Stay where you are

    꽁꽁 얼어버린 골목을 돌아

    Kkongkkong oroborin golmogeul dora

    Walking around the frozen alley

    오르막 내리막 너에게 가는 길

    Oreumak naerimak noege ganeun gil

    Up and down, on the way to you


    [Chorus: Doyoung, Chenle, Kun]

    Ooh, my babe, my babe, my babe, my baby (Baby, baby)

    Oh-ooh, my babe, my babe, my babe, my baby

    Baby, I.O.U-U, I.O.U-U


    [Post-Chorus: Doyoung, Shotaro, YangYang, Chenle, Jisung]

    새하얗게 물든 하늘

    Saehayake muldeun haneul

    The sky's painted white

    내 가슴 속에 네가 쏟아지고

    Nae gaseum soge nega ssodajigo

    You pour into my heart

    I.O.U-U, I.O.U-U

    너와 나 꿈꾸고 싶어

    Nowa na kkumkkugo sipo

    I want to dream about you and me

    첫 눈이 녹아 사라지기 전에

    Chot nuni noga sarajigi jone

    Before the first snow melts away


    [Verse 2: Jisung, Shotaro]

    스쳐 가듯 지난 기억이

    Seucho gadeut jinan giogi

    The old memories flash past

    Reminiscence 'bout you and me

    지쳐있던 나에겐 늘 remedy

    Jichoittton naegen neul remedy

    For me who was tired, you're always the remedy

    얼어붙어 있던 내 옆엔 오직 너

    Orobuto ittton nae yopen ojik no

    You're the only one next to my frozen self

    Baby, you are savior

    난 이제야 알았다고 늦었지만

    Nan ijeya aratttago neujotjjiman

    It's late, but I know now I know


    I wanna do something for ya

    You the one, just be my lover


    [Verse 3: Taeyong, YangYang]

    어느새 앞에 와있지

    Oneusae ape waitjji

    We're here before we know it


    It's a perfect timing

    널 위해 준비한 ice ring

    Nol wihae junbihan ice ring

    I prepared an ice ring for you

    You deserve it, my dear

    이건 부족하지 사실 yeah, yo

    Igon bujokaji sasil yeah, yo

    It's not enough. Yeah, yo

    Ooh, we don't gotta rush

    지금 머릿속엔 가득 차있어 plans for you

    Jigeum moritssogen gadeuk chaisso plans for you

    My head is full of plans for you right now

    One day ain't enough

    너와 있을 때면 매일이 마치 Christmas


    [Chorus: Kun, Chenle, Doyoung]

    Ooh, my babe, my babe, my babe, my baby (Baby, baby)

    Oh-ooh, my babe, my babe, my babe, my baby

    Baby, I.O.U-U, I.O.U-U


    [Post-Chorus: Chenle, Shotaro, Kun, YangYang, Taeyong]

    따뜻하게 감싸준 너

    Ttatteutage gamssajun no

    You're the one by one day

    어제 오늘 내일의 내 맘 모두

    Oje oneul naeire nae mam modu

    Yesterday, today, tomorrow, my heart, all

    I.O.U-U, I.O.U-U

    뜨거워진 내 어깨 위로

    Tteugowojin nae okkae wiro

    Over my heated shoulders

    첫눈이 봄비처럼 내리는 밤

    Chonnuni bomppichorom naerineun bam

    A night when the first snow falls like spring rain


    [Outro: Jisung, Doyoung]

    Thank you a lot, 이제 내 차례야

    Thank you a lot, ije nae charyeya

    Thank you a lot, it's my turn now


    You make my wishes come true

    Feels like Christmas every time I'm with you
