Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

세상 흔한 남자의 착각들

se-sang heun-han nam-ja-ui chak-gak-deul

자길 좋아한다는 생각뿐

ja-gil jot-a-han-da-neun saeng-gak-ppun

웬만한 여자는 꼬실 수 있다는

wen-man-han yeo-ja-neun kko-sil su iss-da-neun

자신감 하나는 인정하도록 할게

ja-sin-gam ha-na-neun in-jeong-ha-do-rok hal-ge

오늘 컨디션이 안 좋다는

o-neul keon-di-syeon-i an jot-da-neun

핑계는 귀엽게 받아들일게

ping-gye-neun gwi-yeop-ge bat-a-deul-il-ge

어차피 상상은 널 자유롭게 하는

eo-cha-pi sang-sang-eun neol ja-yu-rop-ge ha-neun

Baby, you don't have to worry, ayy
