Lyrics of What You Want by CORTIS (코르티스) in English Translation
[Verse 1]
Life’s Too Fast, Why Hold Back Any Longer,
It’s Enough (What You Want?)
I Want To See The Whole World
Stamp It On My Passport (What You Want?)
Well, When The Blood On My Forehead Hadn’t Even Dried,
I Already Planned My Steps (What You Want?)
Left Home To Find What I Was Looking For, What We Came For
[Chorus]
Crash, Smash, Rock, Mash Up
Ooh, Take What You Want
Money, Style, Fame, Love And What?
Ooh, Take What You Want
I Can’t Be Full With Just Enough (Enough)
Drink It Down, Yuh, Like A Hippo (Hippo)
Smelling Like A Teen, Just Like Nirvana (Nirvana)
Shout Out, Yuh, ’Cause We Wanna
[Post-Chorus]
That’s What We All Looking For
That’s What We All Looking For
That’s What We All Looking For
That’s What We All Looking (One, Two, Three) For
[Verse 2]
If I Had To Go Back,
I’d Rather Jump Straight Over The Fence (What You Want?)
I Want Something That’ll Make My Heart Beat Again (What You Want?)
Like A Late-Night, Dawn Delivery,
A Fresh Song, I Need That (What You Want?)
I Want The Whole World To Wake Up And Realize
Some People Want This, Some People Want That
I’m The Same, For Seventeen Years Of My Life
I Chased Love, I Chased Fame
So Now, I Want The Whole World To Know My Name
[Chorus]
Crash, Smash, Rock, Mash Up
Ooh, Take What You Want
Money, Style, Fame, Love And What?
Ooh, Take What You Want
I Can’t Be Full With Just Enough (Enough)
Drink It Down, Yuh, Like A Hippo (Hippo)
Smelling Like A Teen, Just Like Nirvana (Nirvana)
Shout Out, Yuh, ’Cause We Wanna
[Post-Chorus]
That’s What We All Looking For
That’s What We All Looking For
(That’s What We All—) Da-ra-da-ra-ra
That’s What We All Looking (One, Two, Three) For
