[English]

Baby, you don’t have to punish yourself

That guy doesn’t even call to check on you

You’ll forget him

(That’s easy)

Just let go, girl

I know you’re not okay

Turning your back

You look so good

Such a woman, for someone unfaithful

For someone unfaithful

I love it

She’s 5'3

She stands out

In the whole club

She slips away

And I found her

(I found her)

I want to see you happy, doing your thing

(And, and)

I saw you sad on IG

In a story

And if the problem is him

Well, it’s not your burden to carry

To get more scars

Come on, mama, get out of there

I want to see you

Happy, doing your thing

I saw you sad on IG

In a story

And if the problem is him

Well, it’s not your burden to carry

To get more scars

Come on, mama, get out of there

I love it

She’s 5'3

She stands out

In the whole club

She slips away

And I found her

Baby, you don’t have to punish yourself

That guy doesn’t even call to check on you

You’ll forget him

(That’s easy)

Just let go, girl

I know you’re not okay

Turning your back

You look so good

Such a woman, for someone unfaithful

For someone unfaithful

(...)

I want to see you happy, doing your thing

I saw you sad on IG

In a story

And if the problem is him

Well, it’s not your burden to carry

To get more scars

Come on, mama, get out of there...

I want to see you

Happy, doing your thing

I saw you sad on IG

In a story

And if the problem is him

Well, it’s not your burden to carry

To get more scars

Come on, mama, get out of there

I love it

She’s 5'3

She stands out

In the whole club

She slips away

And I found her

Baby, you don’t have to punish yourself

That guy doesn’t even call to check on you

You’ll forget him

(That’s easy)

Just let go, girl

I know you’re not okay

Turning your back

You look so good

Such a woman, for someone unfaithful

For someone unfaithful
