[English]

Yeah

Pull up at the Ritz, in my brand-new whip in gold (oh, yeah)

With the full eclipse and the moon lit, lit like whoa (uh-huh)

Everything blurred, mixing all that smoke with the Grey Goose

Fendi Baguette on the bar top, both my hands on you (uh-huh)

Take a picture

Of my figure

Catch a glimmer

Allow me to remind you, baby

I'm the keys to your car, babe

If you lose me then, baby, good luck

I'm the king to your checkmate

Still yours, oh, baby, you've won

I'm the bubbles in your champagne

Grip me tight like you're holdin' your cup

I'm the keys to your car, babe

Whoa-oh-oh

Know that you need me

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (whoa-oh-oh)

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (know that you need me)

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (whoa-oh-oh)

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (know that you need me)

Catwalk through the hallway, straight tell 'em, "One, two (oh, yeah)

Three, four, five, six, seven," let the liquor flow through (uh-huh)

Six in the morning, tell me now, what we gon' do? Yeah

Driver pull up in the black car, baby, let's move

Take a picture

Of my figure

Catch a glimmer

Allow me to remind you, baby

I'm the keys to your car, babe (oh, yeah)

If you lose me then, baby, good luck (uh-huh)

I'm the king to your checkmate (oh, yeah)

Still yours, oh, baby, you've won (uh-huh)

I'm the bubbles in your champagne (oh, yeah)

Grip me tight like you're holdin' your cup (uh-huh)

I'm the keys to your car, babe (oh, yeah)

Whoa-oh-oh (uh-huh)

Know that you need me

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (whoa-oh-oh)

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (know that you need me)

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (whoa-oh-oh)

Oh, yeah, uh-huh (know that you need me)

I'm the keys to your car, babe

If you lose me then, baby, good luck

I'm the king to your checkmate

Still yours, oh, baby, you've won

I'm the bubbles in your champagne (yeah, yeah)

Grip me tight like you're holdin' your cup

I'm the keys to your car, babe

Whoa-oh-oh

Know that you need me
