Hello? 00:03
Hi, this is Bridget, should I come over later? 00:04
I'm sorry, I don't know a Bridget. 00:06
Well that's not what you said when you hugged me last night! 00:08
Ha! You think we're an item just because I gave you a hug? 00:11
Trick, you better think again. 00:14
We are not gentlemen! 00:20
Yo - I'll hug a girl like it don't mean nothin' 00:22
Then turn around and start huggin' a cousin. 00:25
I don't love 'em, end of the fuckin' discussion 00:28
Got 'em tucked between my wings like Thanksgiving stuffing. 00:31
She wanna hug from behind - I did it. 00:35
Then her friend jump in; I'm wit' it. 00:38
I hug 'em tighter than a tube top; 00:41
After that, it's just a matter of time 00:43
Before the other shoe drop. 00:45
'Cause I get more hugs than Oprah selling drugs, 00:47
And the drug was pure X - no marriage, no sex. 00:50
Just hugs. 00:53
Don't get mad, girl. We get mad girls, 00:54
And we're hugging all over the world. 00:57
But don't catch feelings, it ain't love. 01:00
We're just the kings of giving out hugs. 01:03
And if you wanna settle down, you know you got us all wrong, 01:07
So we on to the next one, no disrespect, hon 01:12
But you can't hug a rolling stone. 01:15
You can't hug a rolling stone cause it'll crush you. 01:18
Begging me to hug you again? That's when I shush you. 01:21
On an airplane, at a Knick game, 01:24
feel my butt pop out like a boomerang. 01:25
Which is nothing. 01:27
Can't trust 'em, lose all respect when I hug them. 01:28
Now guess who's back in the motherfucking house 01:30
With a fat hug for your sweater and your blouse. 01:33
Hugged so many ladies, arms shaky and shit, 01:36
'Cause I'm the Wilt Chamberlain of the upper-body grip. 01:39
I'll be hugging on your mama, 01:42
Especially when your daddy's gone, 01:44
Wearing his pajamas, 01:46
I know you thinking that is wrong. 01:47
I don't care what's under, 01:49
I'm concentrating on her back. 01:50
I just wanna hug your mama in a Subaru hatchback. 01:52
Put her in a figure-4, yes I'm a hug gigolo. 01:55
Now she tells her tupperware friends to let their sisters know... 01:58
...that I get more hugs than Atlas had shrugs 02:01
(Brush my head on her shoulder) 02:04
While your man mean mugs 02:05
Just hugs. 02:07
This ain't love girl, 'cause this hug world 02:08
Is just a big Game of Thrones. 02:11
We be king of the castle, got arms like a lasso. 02:14
But you can't hug a rolling stone. 02:17

[English]

Hello?
Hi, this is Bridget, should I come over later?
I'm sorry, I don't know a Bridget.
Well that's not what you said when you hugged me last night!
Ha! You think we're an item just because I gave you a hug?
Trick, you better think again.
We are not gentlemen!
Yo - I'll hug a girl like it don't mean nothin'
Then turn around and start huggin' a cousin.
I don't love 'em, end of the fuckin' discussion
Got 'em tucked between my wings like Thanksgiving stuffing.
She wanna hug from behind - I did it.
Then her friend jump in; I'm wit' it.
I hug 'em tighter than a tube top;
After that, it's just a matter of time
Before the other shoe drop.
'Cause I get more hugs than Oprah selling drugs,
And the drug was pure X - no marriage, no sex.
Just hugs.
Don't get mad, girl. We get mad girls,
And we're hugging all over the world.
But don't catch feelings, it ain't love.
We're just the kings of giving out hugs.
And if you wanna settle down, you know you got us all wrong,
So we on to the next one, no disrespect, hon
But you can't hug a rolling stone.
You can't hug a rolling stone cause it'll crush you.
Begging me to hug you again? That's when I shush you.
On an airplane, at a Knick game,
feel my butt pop out like a boomerang.
Which is nothing.
Can't trust 'em, lose all respect when I hug them.
Now guess who's back in the motherfucking house
With a fat hug for your sweater and your blouse.
Hugged so many ladies, arms shaky and shit,
'Cause I'm the Wilt Chamberlain of the upper-body grip.
I'll be hugging on your mama,
Especially when your daddy's gone,
Wearing his pajamas,
I know you thinking that is wrong.
I don't care what's under,
I'm concentrating on her back.
I just wanna hug your mama in a Subaru hatchback.
Put her in a figure-4, yes I'm a hug gigolo.
Now she tells her tupperware friends to let their sisters know...
...that I get more hugs than Atlas had shrugs
(Brush my head on her shoulder)
While your man mean mugs
Just hugs.
This ain't love girl, 'cause this hug world
Is just a big Game of Thrones.
We be king of the castle, got arms like a lasso.
But you can't hug a rolling stone.
