[English]

God, I'm gonna miss this house

But I guess I'm moving out Sunday morning

All the things I couldn't live without

I don't need 'em now

God, I used to love this hair

Now there's something in the air

Something calling

Overnight, the clothes I always wore

Don't suit me anymore

Mmm, she's always changing me without a word

And I was just, I was just getting used to her

Keeps rearranging me a little bit

And I was just, I was just getting used to it

That lady lady, she's the man

I think she got a master plan

It's something I don't understand

That lady lady, she's the-

It always had to be like this

So if that was our last kiss

Now we know that

Now we know that dream ain't coming true

There's room for something new

Mmm, give me something new

Mmm, she's always changing me without a word

And I was just, I was just getting used to her

Keeps rearranging me a little bit

And I was just, I was just getting used to it

That lady lady, she's the man

I think she got a master plan

It's something I don't understand

That lady lady, she's the-

That lady lady, she's the man

I think she got a master plan

It's something I don't understand

That lady lady, she's the-

Hmm-mm, hm

That lady lady, she's the

Growing on, growing into it

And it's all going on

Growing on, growing into it

That lady lady, she's the

Growing on, growing into it

And it's all going on

Growing on, growing into it

That lady lady, she's the

Growing on, growing into it

And it's all going on

Growing on, growing into it

That lady lady, she's the

Hmm-mm, hm

I was just, I was just getting used to her

Her, her

That lady lady, she's the-
