[English]

It hit me the other night

Sleepless, I can't get you out of my mind

Fantasy of danger, yeah, I like the design

Know what I want is to ride, having a crush, ain't a crime

That's what I tell, I tell myself

But you're with somebody else, I know that girl

Since we were ten and 12

Yes, I'm aware, but I don't care

'Cause temptation is getting to me

I wanna be a girl's girl

But what happens when a girl's girl wants the boy?

I know that she's my friend, but I just can't avoid

The way I feel about you, if I had the choice

You'd be all mine

Now, I wanna be a girl's girl

But what happens when a girl's girl wants the boy?

I know that she's my friend, but I just can't avoid

The way I feel about you, if I had the choice

You'd be all mine, all mine

Though we ain't done nothing, that ain't the way in my head

I should be cautious, but I'm playing with fire instead

If she found out, she would freak out

Like, "What if she was me now? Wouldn't be friends with me now?"

That's what I tell, I tell myself

But you're with somebody else, I know that girl (girl)

Since we were ten and 12

Yes, I'm aware (yes, I'm aware), but I don't care

'Cause temptation is getting to me

I wanna be a girl's girl

But what happens when a (girl's girl wants a) boy?

I know that she's my friend, but I just can't avoid

The way I feel about you, if I had the choice

You'd be all mine

I wanna be a girl's girl

But what happens when a girl's girl wants the boy? (Ooh-ooh)

I know that she's my friend, but I just can't avoid

The way I feel about you, if I had the choice (ooh)

You'd be all mine, all mine (yeah)

That's what I tell, I tell myself (tell myself)

But you're with somebody else, I know that girl (I know that girl)

Since we were ten and 12

Yes, I'm aware (I'm aware), but I don't care

'Cause temptation is getting to me (oh, it's getting to me, getting to me)

What I would do, yeah, I would do (would do)

To live a day in her shoes, sleep next to you (next you)

A dream that can't come true

Yeah, she's right there, but I don't care

'Cause temptation is getting to me

I wanna be a girl's girl

But what happens when a girl's girl wants a boy?

I know that she's my friend, but I just can't avoid

The way I feel about you, if I had the choice

You'd be all mine (all mine)

Now, I wanna be a girl's girl

But what happens when a girl's girl wants the boy? (When a girl's wants the boy)

I know that she's my friend, but I just can't avoid (I can't avoid)

The way I feel about you, if I had the choice (if I had the choice)

You'd be all mine, all mine (be all mine)
