[English]

(Murda on the beat)

Look in the mirror

Who do I see?

Who do I wanna be today?

If you came for a show

Which role should I take?

Fading to gray

So did we make a big mistake?

True colors will show

Baby, just put me on display

Think I've been here before

I've turned some hearts into stone

And I can't hide it no more

My love is a mood ring

Up and down emotions

All these mood swings

You know how to read the touch of my skin

Nothing on my body but this mood ring

You change me, yeah

I have no secrets

'Cause there's a version of me

That I don't know how to hide

When you're making me glow

With your fingers against my thighs (glow)

Think I've been here before

I've turned some hearts into stone

And I can't hide it no more

My love is a mood ring

Up and down emotions

All these mood swings

You know how to read the touch of my skin

Nothing on my body but this mood ring

You change me, yeah

(Nothing on my body but this mood ring, this mood ring)

I'm in the palm of your hand

My temperature is at your command

By my demand

And now I'm falling for you

I turn to golden from blue

And you do too, ah

I think I've been here before

I've turned some hearts into stone

And I can't hide it no more

My love is a mood ring

Up and down emotions

All these mood swings

You know how to read the touch of my skin

Nothing on my body but this mood ring

You change me, yeah

Yeah

Hey

Hey
