[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
