I know I've been a bad girl

And I’m so hot, I need a fan

I don’t want a boy, I need a man

Click-clack, bada bing, bada boom

When I kick the door open, everyone looks at me

No need to try hard or effort

All the guys go crazy, wow wow wow

Boom boom, pa ra pa ra, boom boom

Raise a toast to me now, cheers, cheers, cheers

Hands up, I got a bottle full of Henny in my hand

The guy you always heard about is me, Jennie

The flashing lights surround me as I dance

From black to pink, I’m special anywhere, oh, yes

Whether you stare or not, I wanna dance

Like da ra da ra dan dan, da ra da ra dan dan, du du rup ba u

Yeah, I like this vibe

Yeah, I like you right now

I really fell for you

Want to dance with you tonight

Now we gotta run, what’s there to do?

I’m fearless, I don’t care, man

Flicking off with middle finger, F-U, pay me

90’s baby, I turn up the jam

Run, run, oppa-yah, Lambo

Tonight, you and I are gambling our youth

Don’t try to stop me, even if someone blocks my way

I’m gonna go, brrr, Rambo

Your hand wraps around my waist as we dance

From front to back, my figure is special, oh, yes

Your gaze, I know you wanna touch

Like touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, da ru rup ba u

Yeah, I like this vibe

Yeah, I like you right now

You’re so cool

Want to dance with you tonight
