[English]

(Hot, hot, hot)

I've tried being patient with my agent, but then I had a change of heart

If I get a text from another ex, I swear I'm gonna end up behind bars

I even tried praying every day, and God didn't wanna do his part

I'm a little blessed and a lot stressed, I'm a hot mess

I kinda wanna crash my car

Oh, life's a bitch

Well, so am I

But if I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot

Rather be in my bag than get stuck in my thoughts

Yeah, even if the whole world hates me, no love lost

If I'm gonna cry, thеn at least I'm hot (hot, hot, hot)

Hot (hot, hot), hot

How ya doin', ay?

I've been doing rеal bad

Damn, but you look so fit

Well, I can guarantee that

(The problem is)

I can't figure out (what the problem is)

Ugh, alright, fuck it

But if I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot

Rather be in my bag than get stuck in my thoughts

Yeah, even if the whole world hates me, no love lost

If I'm gonna cry, then at least I'm hot (hot, hot, hot)

Hot (hot, hot), hot

I don't know if you're new 'round here

But let me make this crystal clear

I might be down, but I'm still bad

(Yeah, how 'bout that?) Yeah, how about that?

I don't know if you're new 'round here

But let me make this crystal clear

I might be down, but I'm still bad

(Yeah, how 'bout that?) Yeah, how 'bout that?

But if I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot (hot, hot)

Rather be in my bag than get stuck in my thoughts (thoughts, thoughts)

Yeah, even if the whole world hates me, no love lost

If I'm gonna cry, then at least I'm hot (hot)

Hot (hot), hot

Hot (hot), hot

Hot (hot), hot
