Lyrics - Korean 

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la

해롭단 거 잘 알지 ooh
그 눈빛과 움직임 ooh
널 벗어나려 하지만 oh
세뇌된 채로 고개를 끄덕여 난

네 말에 꼬이고 춤추는 두 발이 왠지 싫지는 않지
태초에 정해진 너라는 진리에 저항할 맘 없으니

우아해 날 해치는 criminal
It's okay 날 달래곤 괴롭혀
Ooh 너란 목줄을 채운 난
숨을 쉴 수 없게 아프면서 황홀하잖아
우아해 날 망치는 criminal
Not okay 고갤 저어 보지만
Ooh 점점 더 깊이 끌려가
네게 빠진 순간 더는 결백하지 않은 나

너라는 그 syndrome ooh
날 유인하곤 흔들어 ooh
네 아이 같은 표정 뒤 oh
아찔한 반전 소름이 끼쳐

상처로 벌어진 심장엔 이미 네 지문이 가득하지
날 찌른 네 손을 맞잡은 내 손도 깨끗하진 않으니

우아해 날 해치는 criminal
It's okay 날 달래곤 괴롭혀
Ooh 너란 목줄을 채운 난
숨을 쉴 수 없게 아프면서 황홀하잖아
우아해 날 망치는 criminal
Not okay 고갤 저어 보지만
Ooh 점점 더 깊이 끌려가
네게 빠진 순간 더는 결백하지 않은 나

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
더 망쳐줘

우아해 날 해치는 criminal
It's okay 날 달래곤 괴롭혀
Ooh 너란 목줄을 채운 난
숨을 쉴 수 없게 아프면서 황홀하잖아
우아해 날 망치는 criminal
Not okay 고갤 저어 보지만
Ooh 점점 더 깊이 끌려가 yeah
벗어나길 원치 않아 전부 무너뜨려

La la la la la la la la

I know well that you’re bad for me
Your eyes and the way you move
I try to get away from you
But being brainwashed, all I can do is nod

I don’t hate how your words make my feet entangled and dance
Cause I don’t want to deny the truth that it was destined to be you from the beginning

So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me
It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent

So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me
Not okay I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence

The Syndrome called you
You lure me in and shake me
Behind your childlike innocent face
A frightening side of you, gives me goose bumps

My heart with an open wound is already full of your fingerprints
My hands holding yours that stabbed me are not clean either

So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me
It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent

So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me
Not okay I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence

La la la la la la la la
Destroy me more

So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me
It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent

So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me
Not okay I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
I don’t want to get away, destroy me completely
