[Intro]
Woo
[Refrain: Seungmin]
Cops and robbers chase each other, full of energy
Pushing me further, pulling me closer, some sort of chemistry
I think I'm addicted to the title, "You and me"
Don't ask, "What are we?" Ooh, ooh, I like it, baby
[Verse 1: Changbin, Felix]
Don't define this relationship
I don't know about love, but I like it
Simply the difference between dotted and solid lines
You know the vibe I'm talking about right now (Hey)
I want to go over it, but I won't go over it
Because now would be better
Let's ease the burden on each other and walk like we do now
Because it will hurt less
[Chorus: Lee Know, Bang Chan, Hyunjin]
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
'Cause it's enough, enough, keep it this way
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
Yeah, I love that, I like you, but I don't wanna love
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Love that I like you, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Han, Hyunjin]
No progress, just stay tuned
The trailer is the most fun
Any kind of role play
Put your foot in it for a moment and take it out, no reason
The truth is, no thanks, so keep it
The truth is always too deep
If you take one step, take two steps away
While there is no operation, I want it
[Refrain: Bang Chan]
Still got so much to find out, we playing Hide and Seek
Don't wanna end this game, hope it goes for eternity
Let's not go official, we can keep the "You and me"
Don't ask, "What are we?" Ooh, ooh, I like it, baby
[Pre-Chorus: I.N, Lee Know, Felix]
Oh, even if we get closer to each other
Oh, taking a long step back
I hope we don’t make a hasty mistake
Yeah, I love that I like you, but I don't wanna love
[Chorus: I.N, Seungmin, Changbin]
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
'Cause it's enough, enough, keep it this way
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe
Yeah, I love that, I like you, but I don't wanna love
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Love that I like you, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Hyunjin, Felix]
I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
Ooh, I like it, ooh, ooh, I like it, like it
[Refrain: Seungmin]
In this section, the lyrics reflect a sense of excitement and contentment with the existing dynamic of the relationship.

The repeated affirmation "I like it" underscores their satisfaction with how things are.
[Verse 1: Changbin, Felix]
This verse explores the ambiguity and simplicity of their relationship. The lyrics suggest avoiding the need to define their bond as "love," instead embracing their current connection as something enjoyable and uncomplicated. The distinction between "dotted line" and "solid line" metaphorically represents the choice to remain in a less defined, more fluid state rather than committing to something more formal.
[Chorus: Lee Know, Bang Chan, Hyunjin]

[Verse 2: Han, Hyunjin]
In this verse, the lyrics express a preference for keeping their relationship in a state of anticipation and excitement. The mention of "previews" and "role-playing" signifies the fun and temporary nature of their interactions, while rejecting deeper involvement. The focus is on maintaining the thrill and avoiding the complexities that come with deeper emotional engagement.
[Refrain: Bang Chan]
This section echoes the earlier sentiments of enjoying the current state of their relationship. The lyrics convey a desire to prolong the playful, exploratory nature of their bond without moving towards a more formal label. The idea of playing "Hide and Seek" symbolizes the ongoing discovery and enjoyment within their relationship.
[Pre-Chorus: I.N, Lee Know, Felix]
The pre-chorus addresses the fluctuating closeness and distance between them. It reflects the careful balance they maintain to avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations. The focus remains on keeping their connection enjoyable and uncomplicated, reinforcing their reluctance to define or formalize it.
[Outro: Hyunjin, Felix]
The outro reiterates the central theme of the song by emphasizing their continued enjoyment of the relationship. The repeated phrase "I like it" affirms their satisfaction with the present dynamic and their reluctance to change it, highlighting the pleasure they find in keeping things as they are.
