    I don't wanna (I don't wanna)

  3. Some say, "얜 누굴 닮아서 이래"

    Some say, "Who did they take after to be like this?"

  4. Some say, "쟤는 뭐가 되려고 저래?"

    Some say, "What do they think they're trying to be?"

  5. 글쎄, 아, 말로는 뭐를 못해

    Well, ah, words can't do much

  6. But I'm doing fine, I'm doing fine, fine, fine

    But I'm doing fine, I'm doing fine, fine, fine

  7. (Ayy) 커지는 nag sound, 이래라저래라, shout out

    (Ayy) The nagging sound grows louder, do this, do that, shout out

  8. 어려서 몰라 나 때는 말이야, blah, blah

    When I was young, I didn't know, back in my day, blah, blah

  1. Sorry, mom, I don't mind, 젓가락질 못해도

    Sorry, mom, I don't mind, even if I can't use chopsticks

  2. 걱정 마, 밥만 잘 먹죠 (duh)

    Don't worry, I eat well (duh)

  11. Mama said, 소꿉놀이 엄마한텐 내가 서툰 어린이

    Mama said, I'm an awkward child in playtime

  12. 같아도 될놈될 복불복임, do whatever I want, 잔소린 swing

    Even if it seems the same, it's all luck, do whatever I want, and the nagging swings

  13. (Ayy) why you looking so mad? (Ayy) 아, 왜 또 이러신대?
