[English]

Um, Ruell, stop playing

I see you got that new Mercedes

I might let you drive me crazy

Usually I ain't the type to stay

'Cause you could fall in and go psycho

Ain't no tellin' where this might go

But I take my chances either way

So come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

You look like somebody that could really hold it down

You look like somebody that would always stick around

Got Latina in you, so I know you probably crazy

All my friends said stay away but that shit just don't faze me

Got a little bit of sassy, I like that

You don't take no shit, yeah you fight back

Never let a dude hit it on the first night

I can't even sleep over 'til I wife that

All these bitches in my phone, hit the boy

But I've been curving everyone for you

Girl I would give you every single password

All you gotta do is let me through, yeah

Imma keep it honest

I know that you got a past

I know you ain't perfect

But basic bitches never last

I don't usually do this type of shit

So baby trust me when I tell you that I'm all about it

Yeah, I might fall in love and let you fuck my life up

Just so I could go and write a song about it

I see you got that new Mercedes

I might let you drive me crazy

Usually I ain't the type to stay

Cause you could fall in and go psycho

Ain't no tellin' where this might go

But I take my chances either way

So come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Fuck my life up

Come and, come and, come and fuck my life up
