IU changed the lyrics as a tribute to Sulli and Go Hara
ORIGINAL: That girl with no expressions That girl everybody hates That girl even you know That girl is oh so pitiful That girl everyone is afraid of That girl you know
Should I tell you a funny story (It might be a little sad too) Believe it or not, it’s a lighthearted story (Please keep this a secret) Ah, the thing is That girl That despicable girl There was a time she used to laugh (As deep blue as a blue day)
Boys obviously but also girls Even the things that aren’t human Everybody fell for her, fell in love with her Her laugh was that beautiful Wearing a gala dress, innocently chatting That pale, dried up cheek Used to be full of life Oh red queen
That girl whose smile is so pretty That girl everybody loves That girl even you know That girl everybody loves (you know)
That girl who is beautiful That girl everybody calls pretty That girl you know That girl everybody loves
Should I continue this story (If there was one more thing to reveal) Up to what point should I tell it It’s a lighthearted story (Please don’t misunderstand) You see, that girl A long long time ago to a man who was crying sadly She swept her hand across his back (You wouldn’t believe how warm it was)
Children obviously but adults too Even the things that don’t have life Everything fell in love, fell in love with her Her heart was that beautiful too Even when she gazed At the tiniest, poorest of things Those passionless, depressing eyes Used to sparkle so bright Oh red queen
That girl with no expressions That girl whom everybody hates That girl even you know That girl whom everybody hates (you know)
That girl is oh so pitiful That girl whom everyone is afraid of That girl you know That girl whom everybody hates
That girl’s scarlet hair Somewhere something more red Made her eyes so thinly bloodshot Is someone going to ask her the reason Why is she getting angry Why is she being wicked That sad girl’s scarlet hair Somewhere something More more more more more red
That girl with the beautiful smile That girl who everybody calls pretty That girl even you know That girl everybody loves
That girl is oh so pitiful That girl everybody is afraid of That girl you know
Well this is trivial It’s an absurd story Believe it or not, it’s a silly story Everybody just forget it
Changed to:
Filled up a black martini Fill up the glass for the queen without pity Made her eyes so thinly bloodshot Will she smile at the world one more time?
Hey don’t bother the queen no more Please don’t wake the queen up no more Red Queen don’t look back go on My Queen keep it on
Filled up a black martini Fill up the glass for the queen without pity A bouquet of flowers in the dark I will give you a lullaby bye bye bye Bye your majesty



This is beautiful, but heart breaking at the same time. It reminds me of my best friend in a way. I love your writing style by the way~
