[English]

I'm forty, babe

My dear mom, precious child, babe

My job is a dance singer, babe

Been a troubadour for 15 years, ah, yeah

More art than skills (I love it)

More charm than talent (I love it)

More daring than class (I love it)

I prefer value over luxury (I love it)

Loving myself (love it), everyone else (love it)

People around me, I love it so much

Did you sleep worrying about others? Were you asleep just now?

When eating fish, remove the fins

When eating watermelon, remove the seeds

To those who love me, eat my love

They say they insulted and humiliated, gather 'round and eat this

I love it, I love it, I love it (oh, yes)

I love it, I love it, I love it (Yoo-hoo!)

I love it, I love it, I love it (I love it)

Everything's okay, let's do this right

We like to party, babe

Sometimes selling memories, babe

Those memories are worth hundreds of millions, babe

Wouldn't sell them for all the money, ah, yeah

A cricket has more guts than an ant (I love it)

Unconventional rules over cheating (I love it)

Celebrating after a fight beats venting (I love it)

I like zombies better than scholars (I love it)

My fan (love it), anti (love it)

People around me, I love you so much

Did you sleep worrying about others? Were you asleep just now?

When eating fish, remove the fins

When eating watermelon, remove the seeds

To those who love me, eat my love

They say they insulted and humiliated, gather 'round and eat this

I love it, I love it, I love it (oh, yes)

I love it, I love it, I love it (Yoo-hoo!)

I love it, I love it, I love it (I love it)

Everything's okay, let's do this right

(Don't like that, don't, don't like that)

(Don't like that, don't, don't like that)

I don't know moderation among extreme guys

This much is a piece of cake, cake, cake, cake

I'm a guy who finishes everything, no middle ground

Lie down and eat rice cakes, rice cakes, rice cakes

Once more

I love it, I love it, I love it (oh, yes)

I love it, I love it, I love it (Yoo-hoo!)

I love it, I love it, I love it (I love it)

Everything's okay, let's do this right

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) That's right, right, right, right

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) So good, very good

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) That's right, right, right, right

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
