우리 엄만 매일 내게 말했어 언제나 남자 조심하라고

My mom always told me to be careful with men.

사랑은 마치 불장난 같아서 다치니까, eh

Love is like playing with fire, it hurts.

엄마 말이 꼭 맞을지도 몰라, 널 보면 내 맘이 뜨겁게 달아올라

She might be right, when I see you, my heart heats up.

두려움보단 널 향한 끌림이 더 크니까, eh

The attraction I feel for you is greater than my fear.

멈출 수 없는 이 떨림은 on and on and on

This uncontrollable thrill goes on and on and on.

내 전부를 너란 세상에 다 던지고 싶어

I want to throw everything into this world you are.

Look at me, look at me now, 이렇게 넌 날 애태우고 있잖아

Look at me, look at me now, you're making me anxious.

끌 수 없어, 우리 사랑은 불장난

I can't stop, our love is playing with fire.

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh.

Now burn, baby, burn (불장난)

Now burn, baby, burn (playing with fire).

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh.

So don't play with me, boy (불장난)

So don't play with me, boy (playing with fire).

Oh no, 난 이미 멀리 와버렸는걸

Oh no, I've already come too far.

어느새 이 모든 게 장난이 아닌 걸

This is no longer a game.

사랑이란 빨간 불씨

Love is a red ember.

불어라 바람 더 커져가는 불길

Blow, wind, the flame grows.

이게 약인지 독인지 우리 엄마도 몰라

Is this a remedy or poison? Even my mom doesn't know.

내 맘 도둑인데 왜 경찰도 몰라

It's a heart thief, why doesn't the police know?

불 붙은 내 심장에 더 부어라 너란 기름

Pour more oil on my burning heart.

Kiss him? Will I diss him? I don't know but I miss him

Kiss him? Will I diss him? I don't know, but I miss him.

중독을 넘어선 이 사랑은 crack

This love that surpasses addiction is crack.

내 심장의 색깔은 black (ah)

The color of my heart is black (ah).

멈출 수 없는 이 떨림은 on and on and on

This uncontrollable thrill goes on and on and on.

내 전부를 너란 불길 속으로 던지고 싶어

I want to throw everything into this flame that you are.

Look at me, look at me now, 이렇게 넌 날 애태우고 있잖아

Look at me, look at me now, you're making me anxious.

끌 수 없어, 우리 사랑은 불장난

I can't stop, our love is playing with fire.

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh

Now burn, baby, burn (불장난)

Now burn, baby, burn (playing with fire).

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh

(Uh-oh, uh-oh) my love is on fire, ooh.

So don't play with me, boy (불장난)

So don't play with me, boy (playing with fire).

걷잡을 수가 없는 걸

I can't control myself.

너무나 빨리 퍼져 가는 이 불길

This flame is spreading too fast.

이런 날 멈추지 마

Don't stop me like this.

이 사랑이 오늘 밤을 태워버리게, ooh-ooh

Let this love burn the night away, ooh-ooh.
