[Intro: Irene, The Colleagues]
And we're live!
Produced by The Colleagues, take one!
Yeah! Alright, one, two

[Verse 1: Irene, Joy]
당당히 넌 고개를 들고 나를 봐
역시 rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie boy
좋아 볼 때마다 진짜 넌 내 type
역시 rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie boy, ha!

[Verse 2: Seulgi, Wendy]
이토록 거센 존재감 난 이미
혹시나 하는 작은 의심조차 못 해
즐기는 척 하하 난 웃어 봐 애써
말투까지 네 앞에선 마치 ice 같지

[Pre-Chorus: Joy, Wendy, Yeri, Seulgi]
불쑥 들어와 넌 벌써 날 벌써 날
위태롭게 더 홀려 놔 홀려 놔
낯선 너의 번호까지
한번에 난 외워버린 거야 why?
자꾸만 왜 날 왜 날 흔들까 넌
바짝 다가와 그래 옳지 옳지 boy, ha!

[Chorus: All]
Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie
맞지 맞지 그 느낌적인 느낌 느낌
Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie
맞지 맞지 그 느낌적인 느낌 느낌

[Verse 3: Yeri, Irene]
역시 넌 nice하게 더 다가오잖아
멋진 rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie boy
좋아질 때마다 짜릿한 my heart
멋진 rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie boy

[Verse 4: Seulgi, Wendy, Yeri, (Irene, Joy & Yeri)]
Hey, 딴 남자 볼 땐 웃지 좀 마 이미
넌 마치 남자친구처럼 슬쩍 화내지
아침엔 날 매일 데리러 와 baby
날 뺏길까 봐 하루 종일 경계해 baby, oh
(I like it) 날카로워진 네 눈빛
(아직까진) 특별할 게 없는 우리
(언제까지) 기다리게 할 거니
좀 더 바짝 다가와 그래 옳지 옳지 boy, ha!

[Pre-Chorus: Yeri, Seulgi, Irene, Wendy]
불쑥 들어와 넌 벌써 날 벌써 날
위태롭게 더 홀려 놔 홀려 놔
낯선 너의 번호까지 한번에
난 외워버린 거야 why?
자꾸만 왜 날 왜 날 흔들까 넌
바짝 다가와 그래 옳지 옳지 boy, ha!

[Chorus: All, Seulgi, Wendy]
Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie (Rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, yeah)
맞지 맞지 그 느낌적인 느낌 느낌 (Whoa)
Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie (Ooh)
맞지 맞지 그 느낌적인 느낌 느낌 (Ah yeah, baby)

[Bridge: Seulgi, Wendy]
괜히 겁이 나 내 맘 뺏긴 만큼 차가워진 척해
넌 불안해하지만, oh
감추려 해도 이미 넌 내 마음속의 별이야
자꾸 더 반짝여 이젠 네 모든 게, yeah!

[Outro: All]
Rookie rookie, 넌 나의 rookie rookie rookie
Rookie rookie, 넌 나의 rookie rookie rookie
Rookie rookie, 넌 나의 rookie rookie rookie
Rookie rookie, 넌 나의 rookie rookie rookie

[Chorus: All]
Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie
맞지 맞지 그 느낌적인 느낌 느낌
Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie
맞지 맞지 그 느낌적인 느낌 느낌
