U (Romanized) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Seungmin, Bang Chan, Tablo]
You fill up my mind 24/7
I stay up all night, I can’t even rest
You seem to be fine, the way that you smile, it’s giving me a heartache
‘Cause I should be the one protecting it (Yeah, you, you)
All I need is you, you, you and I in a verse to tune the skies
When it’s dark, I’ll push the sun to rise and pull the moon aside
I’ma do it, do or die, dip my pen in pain to paint you better days
My heart was in a cage, you let it go astray

[Refrain: Hyunjin, Seungmin]
Nunmureun nae gieogeul gyeonwo
Jinaon geu sungani pieo
Geuttaeeseo jigeum meomchwo isseo
Going back to

[Chorus: Lee Know, Han, I.N]
(You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
No one else but

No one else but
Hanchameul ijeonaeryeo hemaedo gyeolguk
Going back to
(You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
All I want is you

[Verse 2: Felix, Changbin]
Seuchyeo ganeun jumadeung sok modeun jangmyeonen I’m with you
Now, I miss you
Neo hanajiman nan jeonbureul ileun geoya, what should I do?
Pyohyeoni an dwae eotteoke malhaedo

Igeon saneun ge anya gyeou beotineun jung
My life, my love is you
I’m still into you, baby (All I want is)

[Refrain: Lee Know, Bang Chan]
Nunmureun nae gieogeul gyeonwo
Jinaon geu sungani pieo
Geuttaeeseo jigeum meomchwo isseo
Going back to

[Verse 3: Tablo, Bang Chan]
Beoseonal su eomneun geimiji

Baby, I need you

Going back to

[Chorus: Hyunjin, I.N, Han]
(You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
No one else but

No one else but
Hanchameul ijeonaeryeo hemaedo gyeolguk
Going back to
(You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

You know that I’d die, that I’d die for you
You know that I’d die, that I’d die for you
I would die without you
