K-pop lyrics needs makeover

I dabble a bit in k-pop in my free time (all my free time), and there's been one thing that's really been bothering me in the k-pop world. This song, and these awful lyrics posted below. One major rule of k-pop is to never NEVER look up the lyrics because you'll hate yourself and your music taste and music in general once you understand the content of what you've been listening to. When I listen to music in english (which by the way I am a native speaker of, incase you couldn't tell because of my lacking grammar and stuff) the lyrics affect how I evaluate a song, but lyrics in korean don't really matter to me. 
So the song posted below is by a relatively new k-pop band that debuted a year ago, named EXO. EXO Planet is where the twelve members of the group came from, because their whole concept is that they're aliens, and they have supernatural powers.....and yeah. Good stuff. Anyway, the company they're from isn't known for necessarily having good music, and the singers themselves rarely contribute anything to the music (not that I care), so I guess these lyrics are not the singers fault. I'll blame the company. Anyway....This song is called Wolf, and the whole point is that the members of the group are wolves.... (yes yes it does sound really dumb, and it is, but you can't say anything about it cuz....don't judge). 
Just read the lyrics. READ THEM. Maybe look the song up on youtube. Then show it to all your friends with the english subtitles and be happy that you have never sung along to a song where the lyrics talk about eating someone like cheese.....yes. 
EXO - WOLF
I feel the sensation; I feel it at once.
I’ll take you in one mouthful like cheese.
I take in [your] scent, scrutinize [your] color
I’ll eat you up with more refine than [drinking] wine.
Ah, but the strength in my toenail weakens, so my appetite yeah is gone.
Maybe I’m sick. Have I fallen ill?
Yeah I’m in trouble.
Get a grip. How’d you get your heart stolen by a human?
It’s [the human] only a one-bite meal.
Hey bite tight and then shake, shake ‘til you lose your mind.
Hey do it in a style you’ve never tried.
Before the big full moon comes out, do away with it.
That’s right wolf. I’m a wolf. Awhooo~
Ah I love you~
I’m a wolf and you’re a beauty.
That’s right wolf. I’m a wolf. Awhooo~
Ah I love you~
I’m a wolf and you’re a beauty.
I’ve fallen for this irresistible, powerful feeling and I’ve let go [of myself].
I like simplicity
The hidden thing within me has opened its eyes now.
Eeyahh~ Look at that girl fall into terror
Can’t, can’t understand the situation before her eyes.
‘That dirty wolf guy will end up eating me.’
But that’s not it. I’ve fallen in love [with you].
I’m already a pro. A goddess like you.
The one who’s stolen my entire heart
I am only a healthy offering/sacrifice.
I’m already a fool. A goddess like you.
The owner who’s to pull out all of my teeth
I am only a faithful slave.
Hey bite tight and then shake shake ‘til you lose your mind.
Hey do it in a style you’ve never tried.
Before the big full moon comes out, do away with it.
That’s right wolf. I’m a wolf. Awhooo~
Ah I love you~
I’m a wolf and you’re a beauty.
That’s right wolf. I’m a wolf. Awhooo~
Ah I love you~
I’m a wolf and you’re a beauty.
I can’t get enough of you. I’m in trouble.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I can’t get enough of you. I’m in trouble.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
That yellow moon teases me, that I can’t have you.
‘But you’re only a rough beast.’
If you’re going to say that kind of thing, get lost. If you need [me], change me.
I can never let her go.
I’ve fallen for this irresistible, powerful feeling and I’ve let go [of myself].
I like simplicity
The hidden thing within me has opened its eyes now.
I’ve fallen for this irresistible, powerful feeling and I’ve let go [of myself].
I like simplicity
The hidden thing within me has opened its eyes now.
That’s right wolf. I’m a wolf. Awhooo~
Ah I love you~
I’m a wolf and you’re a beauty.
That’s right wolf. I’m a wolf. Awhooo~
Ah I love you~
I’m a wolf and you’re a beauty.
