[English]

Baby, does he do it for you?

When he's finished, does he step back and adore you?

I just gotta know, 'cause your time is money

And I won't let him waste it, oh no-n (Ow!)

Baby, just go with it

'Cause when you're with me, I can't explain it, it's just different

We can take it slow or act like you're my girl, let's skip the basics

Whoa-whoa, oh no

He's so replaceable

(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, uh, da-da-da)

You're worth the chase you're putting on

(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da)

It's alright, I'm not dangerous

When you're mine, I'll be generous

You're irreplaceable, a collectible

Just like fine china

Favorite, you're my favorite

It's like all the girls around me don't have faces

And the saying goes

Life is just a game but I'm not playing

Whoa-whoa, oh-oh

He's so replaceable

(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, uh, da-da-da)

You're worth the chase you're putting on

(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da)

It's alright (Yeah), I'm not dangerous

When you're mine (Woo), I'll be generous

(You are) You're irreplaceable, a collectible (Just like)

Just like fine china

It's alright (Girl), I'm not dangerous (I'm not dangerous)

When you're mine (Girl), I'll be generous

(You are) You're irreplaceable, (You are) A collectible (Hey!)

(You are) just like fine china

Took me a while (Yeah) to find your love (Hey!)

Ain't no amount of time in this world (Ho!)

Save me a lot of time and just love me (Hey!)

Feel it, baby, feel it in your soul

Are you ready? (oh)

I know your heart been telling you, you belong to me (Ha ha)

A-na-na, no-whoa

It's alright (Yeah, whoa!), I'm not dangerous

When you're mine (Whoa, I'll get you girl), I'll be generous (I, I, no)

You're irreplaceable, a collectible

Just like fine china

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh

Yeah

Uh

Oh, oh no

Yeah, yeah, yeah
