Handz In My Pocket (English Translation) Lyrics
[Intro]
Hands In My
[Verse 1]
Was That It? (Was That It?)
Don’t Make Me Laugh, Game (Yeah)
Rock-Paper-Scissors? Only That
These Hands, I’ve Got More (Got More)
Everything is just a scratch, my HP is full, not decreasing
Tut-tut, Even those who want to suspect it’s a cheat
Come here, Come Play With Me
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s easy, right? Try To Be Me?
Ah, I’ll show you, Me
The moment of awakening (Then Bomb Out, Bomb Out)
Inside this Pocket is something hot
Guess What (What), What (What), What
[Chorus]
Hands In My Pocket
You Can’t Imagine (Uh-huh, Uh-huh)
Hands In My Pocket, Pocket (Oh)
Headline, Hot Topic, Topic (Oh)
Hands In My Pocket
Hands In My, Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
If you look closely, you’ll understand (Ooh)
They’re endless (Yeah)
A sure-kill technique that captivates you
Tell Me what you want?
Tell Me what you want to see?
Tell Me, anyone but me
Anyone but me, Game Is Over (Wooh)
Hey, what will come out? (Oh-woah)
You can’t even predict it (Oh)
Just like a Black Box
It’s Time To Play, Time To Play, Time To Play
[Verse 3]
Just Wake Up (Hmm)
The possibilities that were sleeping (Hmm)
Now Make It, Make It, Make It Boom (Uh-uh)
You don’t know what will come out (Yeah)
Can’t Believe Me?
Again, a relaxed Smile (Cheese!)
A unique charm, Spark
Hey, All In My Hands
All In My Hands
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s easy, right? Try To Be Me?
Ah, I’ll show you, Me
The moment of awakening (Then Bomb Out, Bomb Out)
Inside this Pocket is something hot
Guess What (What), What (What), What
[Chorus]
Hands In My Pocket
You Can’t Imagine (Uh-uh, Uh-huh)
Hands In My Pocket, Pocket (Oh)
Headline, Hot Topic, Topic (Oh)
Hands In My Pocket
Hands In My
[Bridge]
The weapons I was hiding
Are about to overflow from my Pocket
Hey, should I now
Open these hands for you?
(Woah) The best
(Woah) This talent
(Woah) I’m Gonna Show You My Own Thing
[Chorus]
Hands In My Pocket (Yeah)
You Can’t Imagine (Ooh)
Hands In My Pocket, Pocket (Ooh)
Headline, Hot Topic, Topic (Ooh)
Hands In My Pocket
Hands In My, Uh-huh
[Post-Chorus]
We Go, We Go, We Go To The Top
We Go, We Go, Can’t Stop
We Go, We Go To The Top, Top, Top, Top
We Go, We Go, We Go To The Top
We Go, We Go, Can’t Stop
We Go, We Go To The Top, Top, Top
[Outro]
Hands In My
