[English]

This girl moved into my apartment, one day

One look at her my heart was hopping, heartbreak

I did whatever she was asking

She said, "Maybe later, catch you in the elevator"

A couple days we got to hanging, feel close

Since as she wasn't even taking photos

I made my move, she said "Baby, you're mistaken, I'm not into bacon"

She got that smile

And that body is to die for

One of a kind and that's why it makes me cry

Coz I found a girl who's in love with a girl

She said that she tried but she's not into guys

Oh why, tell me why, did I fall for those eyes?

She said I was nice, but she's not into guys

I found a girl

I should've known to walk away then

I should've left it alone but when she called me on the phone

We'd be hanging again, under the premise of friends

But now she only talks to me about them other women

She said, she got that smile and that body is to die for

One of a kind and that's why it makes me cry

Coz I found a girl who's in love with a girl

She said that she tried but she's not into guys

Oh why, tell me why, did I fall for those eyes?

She said I was nice but she's not into guys

I found a girl

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

I found a girl

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

I can't believe I met somebody like you

And now I feel like a fool

Anatomy is so cruel

I can't believe it, I just think like a man

That you just wanted me bad

But you had different plans

Coz I found a girl who's in love with a girl

She said that she tried but she's not into guys

Oh why, tell me why, did I fall for those eyes?

She said I was nice, but she's not into guys

I found a girl

I found a girl

who's in love with a girl

She said that she tried but she's not into guys

Oh why, tell me why, did I fall for those eyes?

She said I was nice but she's not into guys

I found a girl
