[English]

Ooh, down on my knees, I'm prayin'

You're gonna get what's comin' to you

It's quite a list I'm makin'

I'm castin' spells to make it come true

Dear universe, I don't ask for much

All I need is just a

Little bit of choke on your food

A little bit of hell you lose

An itty bitty rock in your shoe

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout

A little bit of cheat sheets on you

A little bit of iceberg on your cruise

A little bit of salt in your wounds

That's what I call a chef's kiss

Ooh la la la (Ooh la la la)

Chef's kiss, that's all it takes

(Chef's kiss)

Ooh, let's say if all that happened

It couldn't undo all that you did

Still wouldn't make us even

But it would help just a little bit

Dear karma, are you here or what?

'Cause all I need is just a

Little bit of choke on your food

A little bit of hell you lose

An itty bitty rock in your shoe

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout

A little bit of cheat sheets on you

A little bit of iceberg on your cruise

A little bit of salt in your wounds

That's what I call a chef's kiss

Ooh la la la (Ooh la la la)

Chef's kiss, that's all it takes

That's all it takes, baby

Ooh la la la (Ooh la la la)

Chef's kiss, that's all it takes

(Chef's kiss)

Just a little bit of poison in your booze

A little bit of brick wall as your view

A little bit of misspelled tattoos

A little bit of hit song all about you

A little bit of demons in your sleep

A little bit of new car gets keyed

A little bit of give up on your dreams

That's what I call a chef's kiss

Ooh la la la (Ooh la la la)

Chef's kiss, that's all it takes

That's what I call a chef's kiss

Ooh la la la (Ooh la la la)

Chef's kiss, that's all it takes

(Chef's kiss)
