[English]
I love it when they try to get intimate
Even though they know I really ain't into it
(You're not into it?) I'm not into it
I already know the game and I've been through it
See I buy my own bags, my boots, my jeans
Wear La Rok with my Rebel Yell underneath
You wanna step to me?
Said you gotta long way to go (Rock wit me now)
You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to flirt when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come and see me
Cuz you know your girlfriend wanna be me (Uh)
I'ma tell you why you can't
Said you gotta long way to go
Say you wanna love me?
Wanna love me? Wanna touch me?
Think twice cuz you gotta long way to go
Don't know howda act, bettah fall back
It's like that cuz you gotta long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy, you wanna please me?
Got a long way to go, I'm a bad girl
You wanna get close? Ease up cuz you gotta a long way
I love it when they try to get scandalous
Even though they know they really can't handle it
(They can't handle it?) They can't handle it
Try and take me out to dinner, I'll cancel it
If you really wanna know me first of all
You should never try to get to personal
Cuz I'm in it when I say:
That you gotta long way to go
You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to flirt when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come and see me
Cuz you know your girlfriend wanna be me (Uh)
I'ma tell you why you can't
Said you gotta long way to go
Say you wanna love me?
Wanna love me? Wanna touch me?
Think twice cuz you gotta long way to go
Don't know howda act, bettah fall back
It's like that cuz you gotta long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy, you wanna please me?
Got a long way 2 go, I'm a bad girl
You wanna get close? Ease up cuz you gotta a long way
You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to flirt when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come and see me
Cuz you know your girlfriend wanna be me (Uh, yeah)
Said you gotta long way to go
Say you wanna love me?
Wanna love me? Wanna touch me? (Touch me)
