[English]

Don't think I don't know what you're doing,

Playing with my mind like a video game

Me and you, girl we're like a movie

You got me doing things I never do

And I can't believe how you did that

Pulling me in like we're about to go

Got me off track when you're with me

You got me feeling some kind of way

With your love controller

You got a hold can't let you go

Cos baby when we're together

You're making me feel some kind of way

Kinda way, baby wine for me

Wine for me in that kinda way

Wine for me, baby wine for me

You got me feeling some kinda way

Some type of way girl

Some type of way girl

Some kind of way girl

some type of way girl

Now you got me running, running through the motions

Taking your time you don't make no mistakes

Cos love runs deeper than the ocean

I was doing just fine till you come my way

And I can't believe how you did that

Pulling me in like we bout to go

Got me off track when you're with me

You got me feeling some kinda way

With your love controller

You got a hold can't let you go

Cos baby when we're together

You're making me feel some kinda way

Kinda way baby wine for me

Wine for me in that kinda way

Wine for me baby wine for me

You got me feeling some kinda way

Some type of way girl

Some type of way girl

Some kind of way girl

Some kind of way girl
