[English]

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da

Got me feeling like

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da

Look, girl, you got me faded

Like I down the whole bottle

Yeah, you walked in the room

Looking like a Victoria Secret model

Throw your number in my iPhone

And then let me take you home

I swear, I think I fell in love

Either that or my drink's too strong

Took a walk on the clouds, better sleep on the moon

And I'm not coming down, now that I'm with you

If we ever wake up, don't know what I would do

Are we really in love or dazed and confused?

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da

Got me feeling like

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da

Okay

Alright, here's how it's going down

You, me and your home, girl

Can get a little freaky in my hotel

Just don't let me catch you being sneaky with your phone girl

That's a quick way to get dismissed

Now I hope we on the same page

But that's what I love about college chicks, I

Keep getting older and they stay the same age

Now turn around and let me get a pick

Good Lord, that's a miracle

But don't get too geek, feel them sheets

That's not boyfriend material

She's got a body like mm-hmm

And a face like yeah-eh

I got one head saying "mm-hmm"

And other one saying "yeah"

Took a walk on the clouds, better sleep on the moon

And I'm not coming down, now that I'm with you

If we ever wake up, don't know what I would do

Are we really in love or dazed and confused?

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da

Got me feeling like

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da (dazed and confused)

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da

Got me feeling like

Ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da
