[Verse 1: K-pop girl-crush female lead, sharp and cool] Seven years a trainee, number nineteen on the floor Mirror wall in Gangnam and a camera by the door Every month evaluation, every month I'm in the back Watching every girl in front of me and learning every track I could see the center miss a count before she knew I could see the left side drifting, I could see the right side too Front row sees the mirror, back row sees the room Front row gets the flowers and the back row sweeps the broom [Pre-Chorus: K-pop girl-crush female lead] They said "You're not the face" I said "Then watch the frame" [Chorus: K-pop girl-crush female lead, full drums] Put me in the back row, I don't need the light Every step up front, I taught it last night Look at the center, look at the crowd Back row's the reason that it's all this loud [Verse 2: K-pop girl-crush female lead, the guitar stabs sharper] Debut list on a Friday and my name was not in sight Packed my bag and cried on the subway half the ride Then the label called on Monday, said "The routine is a wreck Can you fix it by the showcase?" I said "Send me every step" Took the moves I learned in the back for seven years Built the whole formation on the counts that I could hear Now the girls who stood in front of me are learning it from me Every arm and every angle, every snap is signed by me [Pre-Chorus: K-pop girl-crush female lead] They said "You're not the face" I said "Then watch the frame" [Chorus: K-pop girl-crush female lead, full drums] Put me in the back row, I don't need the light Every step up front, I taught it last night Look at the center, look at the crowd Back row's the reason that it's all this loud [Dance Break: K-pop girl-crush female lead, formation snap, every snare changes the formation] Hana, dul, set, net Snap to the left, now snap to the right Hana, dul, set, net Diamond to a line, now a line to the light [Verse 3: K-pop girl-crush female lead, stomping] Award night, and they're crying with a trophy in their hands Center takes the mic and she is looking past the stands Says "We want to thank the one who taught us how to stand She was always in the back row, she's the reason that we can" Spotlight swinging over and I'm leaning on the wall Back row of the whole arena, still the best seat of them all [Final Chorus: K-pop girl-crush female lead] Put me in the back row, I don't need the light Every step up front, I taught it last night Look at the center, look at the crowd Back row's the reason that it's all this loud [End]
