Put her in Chanel, put her in Chanel

How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel

How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel

How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel

How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel

How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel

Say you love me, put me in Chanel

Turns out I had you turned out

What's my mood? Try me, come find out

One more time, stop tryna read my mind

I'm not her, and she's not me and you're not mine

(Bet you want ten for P) loyal with me

(Baby, I'm on DND) please don't bother me

(A, B, no, VV) flawless diamond piece

(Yeah, you gotta make me freeze) reasons that you gotta

How you say you love me? You ain't put me in Chanel

Say you love me, put me in Chanel

Walk in standin' tall, but still fall for me

You come in with baggage, it's costin' me

Still don't have it all, but give it all to me

Come and turn me on, don't go off on me

(Bet you want ten for P) loyal with me

(Baby, I'm on DND) please don't bother me
