[Intro]

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey

[Verse 1: Jinu]

Don’t want you, need you

Yeah, I need you to fill me up

성에 차지 않아

Got a feeling that, oh, yeah (Yeah)

You could be everything that

That I need (Need), taste so sweet (Sweet)

Every sip makes me want more, yeah

[Verse 2: Mystery, Romance, Abby]

Lookin’ like snacks ’cause you got it like that (Woo)

Take a big bite, want another bite, yeah

너의 모든 걸 난 원해, 원해, 원해

너 말곤 모두 뻔해, 뻔해, 뻔해

When you’re in my arms, I hold you so tight (So tight)

Can’t let go, no, no, not tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Jinu, Romance, All, Baby]

지금 당장 날 봐 시간 없잖아

넌 내꺼야 이미 알고 있잖아

‘Cause I need you to need me

I’m empty, you feed me so refreshing

My little soda pop

[Chorus: All]

You’re all I can think of

Every drop I drink up

You’re my soda pop

My little soda pop

Cool me down, you’re so hot

Pour me up, I won’t stop

My little soda pop

[Post-Chorus: All]

My little soda pop

[Verse 3: Baby, Abby]

Uh, make me wanna flip the top

한 모금에 you hit the spot

Every little drip and drop, fizz and pop, ah

소름 돋아 it’s gettin’ hot

Yes, I’m sippin’ when it’s drippin’ now

It’s done? I need a second round

And pour a lot and don’t you stop

‘Til my soda pop fizzles out

꿈 속에 그려왔던 너

난 절대 놓칠 수 없어

널 원해 꼭

I waited so long for a taste of soda

So, the wait is over, baby

Come and fill me up

Just can’t get enough

Oh

You’re all I can think of

Every drop I drink up
