[English]

You got me punching my pillow every morning Got me out here looking dumb dumb dumb

I told my sister all about you She said babe you better run run run

How you so good at turning blind eye to the damage that

You done done done?

You get some twisted kinda pleasure?

Hey is this what you call fun fun fun?

You see cos my boy likes to party I never see him when the sun goes down

And they say home is where the heart is Then his home’s on other side of town

You see see My boy likes to party

And the word it really gets around Oh see see

My boy likes to party Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Not gonna hold my breath if you were gonna change

You would have changed by now

I can’t believe how long I stayed

How long I let you make the tears fall down Go do your thing no hard feelings

Just know I won’t be waiting up no more

Enjoy your parties and your strangers but you won’t be joining me no more

You see cos my boy likes to party I never see him when the sun goes down

And they say home is where the heart is then his home’s on other side of town Oh yeah yeah

My boy likes to party And the word it really gets around

Oh no see My boy likes to party

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Baby please now stop this shit is getting real embarrassing

I’m supposed to be the one you honour and you’re cherishing

It’s like I got ‘idiot’ there written ‘cross my forehead

Every night I’m questioning , "Oh, what is wrong with our bed?”

I’m about to call police report a missing person

I’m gon’ give them full report on every way it’s hurting

If I wanna save my life Then I better start learning

You see cos my boy likes to party

I never see him when the sun goes down And they say home is where the heart is

Then his home’s on other side of town Oh yeh yeh

My boy likes to party And the word that really gets around

Oh no see My boy likes to party

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down Don’t think he’s, don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s, don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s

Don’t think he’s ever gonna settle down
