Cherry Pop – English Lyrics

• By: Alexandra Stan

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

There was this guy and me

I never thought that we could have that chemistry

But he became the one to show me

Stars in the sky

That light up the night

My fantasy fell into something true

...

He put a spell on me under the moonlight

And I knew

Now I can stop thinking 'bout that

Taste like cherry pop

Pop pop

Che-cherry che-cherry pop

Pop pop

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Last night we made out

Then we saw the blackout

But it tasted like a cherry pop

Pop pop

When I look into his eyes

All I see is paradise

You're tasty like a cherry pop

Pop pop

Never felt like this before

I just want more

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Pop pop pop

...

And now they're asking me

Are you and him together?

How is it gonna be?

Or he's it just still playing, playing

Tricks on your mind

I bet that he's not your kind

My fantasy fell into something true

...

He put a spell on me under the moonlight

And I knew

Now I can stop thinking 'bout that

Taste like cherry pop

Pop pop

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Pop pop

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Last night we made out

Then we saw the blackout

But it tasted like a cherry pop

Pop pop

When I look into his eyes

All I see is paradise

You're tasty like a cherry pop

Pop pop

Never felt like this before

I just want more

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Pop pop pop

Pop pop pop

Cherry cherry cherry cherry pop

Cherry cherry pop

Cherry cherry cherry cherry pop

Cherry cherry pop

Ouhouhou

...

Cherry pop

Pop pop

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Pop pop

Che-cherry che-cherry

Pop

Last night we made out

Then we saw the blackout

But it tasted like a cherry pop

Pop pop

When I look into his eyes

All I see is paradise

You're tasty like a cherry pop

Pop pop

Never felt like this before

I just want more

Che-che-cherry che-che-cherry pop

Pop pop pop

...
