I CAN'T STOP ME

Lyrics

Nayeon	Jeongyeon	Momo
Sana	Jihyo	Mina
Dahyun	Chaeyoung	Tzuyu

알람이 울려대 Ring ring a ling
서로의 눈길이 닿을 때마다
알면서 빙빙 도는데
점점 다가가잖아 I know it’s too late
마음속으로는 다 알고 있잖아
결국에는 선을 넘게 될 거라는 걸
I’m warning to myself
너 그러면 안 돼
매분, 매초, 내 맘이 내 맘을 추월해
Out of control

나를 감시하는 저 Spot spot spotlight
비출수록 어둠 속으로 빨려 들어
끝이 보이는데 I know it’s not right
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO어우오)
내 앞에 놓여진 이 Red red red line
건너편의 너와 난 이미 눈을 맞춰
느끼고 싶어 짜릿한 Highlight
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO어우오)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me

눈감아 달라구 [정/다]Ya ya
딱 한 번만 No rules [정/다]Ah ah
모른 척해 줘 Lights off tonight
나 참을 수 없을 거 같아 Losing myself
(Yeah yeah)

이제는 Turning back
불가능해 난 점점 더 깊은 어둠에
너무나 짜릿해
나 눈을 감을래
다시는 돌아갈 수 없을 것만 같애
Out of control
(Ooh yeah)

나를 감시하는 저 Spot spot spotlight
비출수록 어둠 속으로 빨려 들어
끝이 보이는데 I know it’s not right
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO어우오)

내 앞에 놓여진 이 Red red red line (red line)
건너편의 너와 난 이미 눈을 맞춰
느끼고 싶어 짜릿한 Highlight (I can't stop me yeah)
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO어우오)

Risky risky wiggy 위기
This is an emergency
Help me, help me, somebody stop me
Cuz I know I can’t stop me
답은 알고 있잖아
근데 가고 있잖아
이러고 싶지 않아
내 안에 내가 또 있나 봐

나는 원하는데
원하는 게 안돼
Guilty 난 싫은데
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me, can’t stop me

나를 감시하는 저 Spot spot spotlight (Oh~ Woah~)
비출수록 어둠 속으로 빨려 들어
끝이 보이는데 I know it’s not right
(Ah~ Ha~)
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me NO어우오

내 앞에 놓여진 이 Red red red line (Oh~ Boy~)
건너편의 너와 난 이미 눈을 맞춰 (Oh~ Boy~)
느끼고 싶어 짜릿한 Highlight(Hoo~ Hoo~)
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO어우오)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ah~ Ha~)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh~)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO어우오)

Alarm goes off Ring ring a ling
Whenever our eyes meet
I notice but just spin around
Yet I keep getting closer I know it’s too late
In my heart I already know
Sooner or later I’ll step over the line
I’m warning myself
You shouldn’t be doing this
Every minute, every second, my heart goes ahead of me
Out of control

I’m surrounded by that Spot spot spotlight
As it shines on me, I’m swept into the darkness
I see the end, I know it’s not right
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO eouo)

Right in front of me, this Red red red line
Across from each other, you and I exchange glances
Wanna feel the thrilling Highlight
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO eouo)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me

Keep your eyes closed Ya ya
Just this once No rules ah ah
Pretend you don’t know Lights off tonight
I can’t help it Losing myself

Now Turning back
Is impossible, I fall deeper into darkness
It is so thrilling
Wanna close my eyes
I just can’t go back anymore
Out of control

I’m surrounded by that Spot spot spotlight
As it shines on me, I’m swept into the darkness
I see the end, I know it’s not right
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO eouo)

Right in front of me, this Red red red line
Across from each other, you and I exchange glances
Wanna feel the thrilling Highlight
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO eouo)

Risky risky wiggy Crisis
This is an emergency
Help me, help me, somebody stop me
Cuz I know I can’t stop me
I already know the answer
But I still keep going
I don’t wanna do this
There must be another me inside me

I want it, but
Can’t do what I want
Guilty I don’t want it
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me, can’t stop me

I’m surrounded by that Spot spot spotlight (Oh~ Woah~)
As it shines on me, I’m swept into the darkness
I see the end, I know it’s not right
(Ah~ Ha~)
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me

Right in front of me, this Red red red line (Oh Boy~)
Across from each other, you and I exchange glances
(Oh Boy~)
Wanna feel the thrilling Highlight
(Hoo~ Hoo~)
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me (NO eouo)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ah~ Ha~)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh~)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t stop me, can’t stop me NO eouo
