Verse 1

넌 나를 얼마나 생각해 음 솔직하게
네 마음을 열어볼 수 있다면 좋을 텐데
그러니 말로 해줘 굳이
둘러볼 필요 없지 주위
다른 여자는 관심 주지 말고

나만 봐 I'm sorry
사랑 원래 이기주의
높일게 우리 사이 수위
네 주위에 이만한 여자 봤어
I got what you need

내 머리 어깨 무릎 발
그만큼 사랑해 줘
내 머리 어깨 무릎 발
You know what I mean

LeeHi repeats the "head, shoulders, knees, and toes" line, tying it back to a childlike simplicity while also emphasizing the depth of her feelings.

중 어디가 좋아
내 머리 어깨 무릎 발
Sorry not sorry
내 머리 어깨 무릎 발 um

Bridge

그거 받고 난 내가 사랑한다면
너의 다른 부분들까지 안고
살아갈 수 있다고
그래 난 AI 로봇 같은
뻔한 answer
그래도 계속 잘 다루는 널 보면
You are early adopter doctor
I don't know what to say
Do you really think she needs me

죽도록 사랑하냐는 질문을 했지
끄덕이며 대답하는
나를 향해 breathe
혹시 she ain't going home
