[English]

And it's all because I love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, I motherfuckin' love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

And it's all because

I got drunk the other day, it was a birthday party

Three drinks down and I'm tryna get naughty

Four drinks down, now I'm grabbin' on your body

There I go again, yeah, yeah

Roof off the Maybach, climbin' on the dash and

Yes, I did that 'cause I wanted a reaction

You ain't used to girls that can make it high-fashion

Fuckin' with a ten, hey, man

I'm slidin' through the battle, bust a light-wave gesture

Sittin' tight like, "I don't wanna fight, no"

Wanna switch tonight, yeah

Let me take your love crazy, I'm a little rough

I'm a little rough with your diamonds on

Love it when you bein' so protective

When I'm gettin' reckless, come here and undress this

Sorry for my actions

All that I'm projectin'

And it's because, all because

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, I motherfuckin' love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

And it's all because

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, I motherfuckin' love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

And it's all because

I was sippin', I was sippin' and we had to leave early

That's my bad 'cause it's only 8:30

I can't see straight, so I'm really at your mercy

Knowing that you'd take care of me

Maybe I'm playin' with sweet intentions

I know what I did and I know that you would listen

You put me in the car and you always put me first

Even when I'm at my worst, even when I make it hurt

Oh, love it when you bein' so protective

When I'm gettin' reckless, come here and undress this

Sorry for my actions, all that I'm projectin'

Oh

It's because, all because

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, I motherfuckin' love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

And it's all because

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

Love you, babe, I motherfuckin' love you, babe

Love you, babe, love you, babe

I love you, babe

And it's all because I

Love you, babe

Love you, babe

Love you, babe

It's because, all because I

I love you, babe

Love you, babe

I love you, babe

I love you, babe

It's because, all because I

Love you, babe

Love you, babe

Love you, babe

It's because, all because I

Love you, babe

Love you, babe

Love you, babe
