[English]
C'est NaïkaThought you were the one
But you come, and you go, up and down, like a yoyo
You just want your fun
Leave a mess and my heart weighs a ton you should know, know
I used to play nice, overanalyze
Always had faith in your lies, but
There's another one, another one
And it feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You talk that honey-honey in my room
Then you take it to another boom-boom
Come back cryin' with the same old tune
But that's nothin' new, that's nothin' new
Then you're callin'-callin' half past two
Act like I get nothin' better to do
I'm so tired of the same old tune
But it's nothin' new, and it feels like déjà vu
You can't have it back
'Cause you wasted the chances you had when you left this
No, you can't have it back
Left me home in the dark while you texted your exes
I used to play nice, overanalyze
I always had faith in your lies, but
There's another one, another one
And it feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You talk that honey-honey in my room
Then you take it to another boom-boom
Come back cryin' with the same old tune
But that's nothin' new, that's nothin' new
Then you're callin'-callin' half past two
Act like I get nothin' better to do
I'm so tired of the same old tune
'Cause it's nothin' new
And it feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
On s'est déjà tout dit, et j'ai déjà tout vu
Je l'ai déjà apprise, la leçon la plus dure
Tu m'as donné un appui
J'suis tombé droit dans l'mur, une fois, deux fois
On s'est déjà tout dit, et j'ai déjà tout vu
Je l'ai déjà apprise, la leçon la plus dure
Tu m'as donné un appui
J'suis tombé droit dans l'mur, une fois, deux fois
You talk that honey-honey in my room
Then you take it to another boom-boom
Come back cryin' with the same old tune
But that's nothin' new, that's nothin' new
Then you're callin'-callin' half past two
Act like I get nothin' better to do
I'm so tired of the same old tune
'Cause it's nothin' new (oh-oh)
And it feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Feels like déjà vu, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
