[Intro] Don’t lose your temper so, so, so quickly
Don’t lose your temper so, so, so quickly
Don’t lose, don’t lose, don’t lose, quickly
Don’t lose your temper so quickly, your, so quickly [Chorus] Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, ah
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, ah, ah
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, ah
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, ah, ah [Verse 1] From the early morning, you keep picking fights
Doubting if I’m with someone else
Now you’re telling me you’re tired of me
Don’t get angry
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, ah
You, who used to be so, so kind
Changed because of me, because of me
Because of me, you’ve changed
You, who loved me so much
Change one’s mind, change one’s mind, you [Pre-Chorus] Follow me, follow me, follow me
I’m so good for you
I’m so sorry, because of me
Stop getting mad, smile, let go of your anger now [Verse 2] One, two, three, four, fi-fi-fi-fi, hahahaha
You keep calling and saying you miss me
Always urging me to come quickly
You say I’ve become too tiresome
Don’t get angry
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, ah
You, who smiled at me for a moment
Changed because of me, because of me
Because of me, you’ve changed
You, who used to listen to everything I say
Cha-cha-change one’s mind [Pre-Chorus] Follow me, follow me, follow me
I’m so good for you
I’m so sorry, because of me
Stop getting mad, smile, let go of your anger now [Bridge] You didn’t know this side of me
Would make it difficult for you
Don’t say you hate me
We are together [Pre-Chorus] Follow me, follow me, follow me
I’m so good for you
I’m so sorry, because of me
Stop getting mad, smile, let go of your anger now [Chorus] Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, ah
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, ah, ah
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, ah
Bo peep, bo peep, bo peep, bo peep
Bo peep, bo peep, ah, ah [Outro] Don’t lose your temper so, so, so quickly
Don’t lose your temper so, so, so quickly
