[English]

Oh, Giuseppe steppin', she ain't moonwalkin'

Copped Balenciagas, then we drew on 'em

Molly had her shaking like an asthmatic

She told me to take the drugs in public, I ain't backtracking

Woah, she's high fashioned

Took me to the back room in Chanel so we could smash and

Everything is Louis V and Louis V her casket

And she's so good at walking out because her dad did

She says "Ooh, we could do whatever you want

But boy, don't go falling in love

You can't stay with me

All you'll ever have is one day with me"

Ooh, she said "We can do whatever you want

You could fuck me in the back of your car"

But I won't ever get to stay with her

'Cause all I ever had was one day with her

Ooh, think her boyfriend might be Christian Dior

I'm getting feelings that I didn't before

And all I wanna do is stay with her

But I know all I have is one day with her

Only time she listens, when the cash talks

Molly, Percocets, we were screamin' mask off, no

With no perception of time, it's almost quarter-to-five, yeah

I had to hop in and drive, baby woah

I might crash it, I can count a hundred thousand dollars worth of damage

Dolce & Gabbana, whole interior was fabric

She's always hiding in designer, 'cause her dad left, she said

Ooh, she said "We can do whatever you want

You can fuck me in the back of your car"

But I won't ever get to stay with her

'Cause all I ever had was one day with her

Ooh, think her boyfriend might be Christian Dior

I'm getting feelings that I didn't before

And all I wanna do is stay with her

But I know all I have is one day with her

I could live forever and a day with her

I don't want to live it if it ain't with her

I could go up out to outer space with her

All I need is one more day with her

Ooh, she's always been running from love

'Cause daddy didn't give her enough

But I can make the pain better

All I need is one more day with her
