[English]
She's into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl is going to make me fall
She's into new sensations
New thrills in the candlelight
She's got a new addiction
For every day and night
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life, but she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's living the crazy life
She'll push and pull you down
Living the crazy life
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Living the crazy life
Come on!
Living the crazy life
Come on!
She's living the crazy life
Woke up in New York City
In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart, and she took my money
She must've slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and
Makes you order French champagne
Once you've had a taste of her
You'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's living the crazy life
She'll push and pull you down
Living the crazy life
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Living the crazy life
Come on!
Living the crazy life
She's living the crazy life
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life, but she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's living the crazy life
She'll push and pull you down
Living the crazy life
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Living the crazy life
Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's living the crazy life
She'll push and pull you down
Living the crazy life
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Living the crazy life
Come on!
Living the crazy life

She's living the crazy life
Come on!
Gotta live the crazy life!
Gotta, gotta, gotta live the crazy life!
Gotta, gotta, gotta live the...
