[English]

Made a little cookie

Baked it just for you, this treat

But you know that it ain’t for free,

yeah

Made a little cookie

Softer than a brownie

Living in your head rent-free

With chocolate chips, you know

I wanna sprinkle all over

And ruin your appetite

Yeah I’m hiding but

I really wanna see your face

If you want it

You can get it

If you want it

Let me hear you say you want it more, boy

No dinner, dinner, you’re hungry though

No water, water, you’re thirsty though

Sweet sugar, my my, dessert, my my

That’s how you like it, ain’t that right?

No dinner, dinner, you’re hungry though

No water, water, you’re thirsty though

Sweet sugar, my my, dessert, my my

That’s how you like it, ain’t that right?

Made a little cookie

Pick your poison, it’s on me

I’ll melt your heart away

So good, yeah

Looking at my cookie

Yeah, the scent alone will make you see

(Taste it)

You can’t stop at one bite with me

With chocolate chips, you know

Sprinkles, oh

You’ll lose your mind

till you don’t want other tastes

Yeah I’m hiding but

I really wanna see your face

If you want it

You can get it

If you want it

Let me hear you say you want it more, boy

No dinner, dinner, you’re hungry though

No water, water, you’re thirsty though

Sweet sugar, my my, dessert, my my

That’s how you like it, ain’t that right?

No dinner, dinner, you’re hungry though

No water, water, you’re thirsty though

Sweet sugar, my my, dessert, my my

That’s how you like it, ain’t that right?

Bet you know

Bet you know I

Make recipes that you won’t see anywhere else, boy

Make recipes that you won’t see anywhere else, boy

Take it

Don't break it

I wanna see you taste it

Sugar, got sugar

Spare nothing when I bake it

Bet you know

Bet you know I

Make all the things that will ruin your diet

Make all the things that will ruin your diet

Take it

Don’t break it

I wanna see you taste it

Sugar, got sugar

Bet you want some

No dinner, dinner, you’re hungry though

No water, water, you’re thirsty though

Sweet sugar, my my, dessert, my my

That’s how you like it, ain’t that right?

No dinner, dinner, you’re hungry though

No water, water, you’re thirsty though

Sweet sugar, my my, dessert, my my

That’s how you like it, ain’t that right?
