[English]

I wanna be my bestie

Be my, be my

I wanna be my bestie

Be my, be my bestie

Late night when I'm in bed

Got voices in my head

They've never been my friends, I, I

I keep on losin' sleep

Bein' my enemy

Don't know how long it's been since I, I

Look at myself like, "Ooh, she cute"

Lovin' myself like Lucy do

'Bout to get high off an ego boost

All the way to the moon

'Cause I, I am the only one

Who's been there since day one

And I ain't never gon' leave

I wanna be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

I wanna be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

I wanna be my hype girl, my cheerleader

That's right, girl, I'm here for ya, whoa, whoa

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie, bestie

I'ma take me dancing, hell yeah

I won't need something fancy, hell yeah

I'ma stay out late if I want to

Eat the cake when I want to

'Cause I don't know how long it's been since I, I

Look at myself like, "Ooh, she cute"

Lovin' myself like Lucy do

'Bout to get high off an ego boost

All the way to the moon

'Cause I, I am the only one

Who's been there since day one

And I ain't never gon' leave

I wanna be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

I wanna be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

I wanna be my hype girl, my cheerleader

That's right, girl, I'm here for ya, whoa, whoa

Wanna be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie, bestie

Yeah, I'ma look at myself like, "Ooh, she cute"

Lovin' myself like Lucy do

'Bout to get high off an ego boost

All the way to the moon

I am the only one

Who's been there since day one (day one)

And I ain't never gonna leave

Wanna be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

I wanna be my bestie

My, be my, be my bestie

I wanna be my hype girl, my cheerleader

That's right, girl, I'm here for ya, whoa, whoa
