[English]

You could be my honey dip, my honey dip

Watch you make my money flip ooh yeah baby

I can be a real girl

Fucking around in this fake world, this fake world

And you could be my best friend, my best friend

Or you could be my enemy, keep me guessing

You can be my kerosene, I light you up in the dark

Don't be scared baby we can carry heat

You can be my idol, I can worship you

Like a tidal wave in my warship

Baby if you listen up, I got you

You could be my swisher guts yeah I got you

You can be my raindrops in my ocean

Take a swim with a speedin' star, feels good

If you close your mouth admiring

Hold it in, let your mind bleed

You could be my honey dip

Watch you make my money flip, ooh yeah

I could be a real girl

In this fake world

Or you could be my best friend

Or you could be my enemy, keep me guessing

I could be a real girl

Now you fuckin' with a real girl

I'm a windtalker, a binge drinker, little mama

I'm a long story with the end open

I'm a sin committer, a rollercoaster

Young go-getter, never lose hope

When people do one way, I can do four

When they do less, I can do more

Like love you a little bit longer, for sure, for sure

I could be your leftovers, of mescal

But then you'd be my side bitch, and that's weak

I want you for keeps

I need you like a Christian needs Christ

Like my sweet and sour chicken needs rice

I got enough money in my life but I don't got a bitch to run it

You could be my honey dip

Watch you make my money flip, ooh yeah

I could be a real girl

In this fake world

Or you could be my best friend

Or you could be my enemy, keep me guessing

I could be a real girl

Now you fuckin' with a real girl

I could be a real girl

Yeah

I'm a windtalker, a binge drinker, little mama

I'm a long story with the end open

I'm a sin committer, a rollercoaster

Young go-getter, never lose hope

When people do one way, I can do four

When they do less, I can do more

Like love you a little bit longer for sure, for sure

You could be my honey dip

Watch you make my money flip, ooh yeah

I could be a real girl

In this fake world

Or you could be my best friend

Or you could be my enemy, keep me guessing

I could be a real girl

Now you fuckin' with a real girl

I could be a real girl
