[English]

Ooh, ooh

See, it's not that I don't trust you

I just wanna know every place that you go, everyone that you know

Everything that you do, every single move you make

And I ain't tryna play the victim

But I got my suspicions

Say you're alone, I can hear on the phone

Someone else in the back

What she doing? What she asking?

What you gonna do when the sun goes down?

Who you gonna love when I'm not around?

If you find a new look now

Would you kick the old one out?

If you find a new look now

Would you kick the old one out?

If you find a new look now

See, it's not that I'm a psycho

We both know it isn't my fault

You were the one who was out having fun

I've been out on my grind, I've been working all the time, yeah

And I ain't tryna play the victim

But I got my suspicions

Say you're alone, but if you ain't alone

You should say to me now

I ain't gonna stick around, say

What you gonna do when the sun goes down?

Who you gonna love when I'm not around?

If you find a new look now

Would you kick the old one out?

If you find a new look now

Would you kick the old one out?

If you find a new look now, right now, right now

If you find a new look now, right now, right now

If you find a new look now

Ooh, yeah, yeah

If you want

Oh, if you want

What you gonna do when the sun goes down?

Who you gonna love when I'm not around?

If you find a new look now (Yeah, yeah)

Would you kick the old one out? (Yeah, yeah)

If you find a new look now

Would you kick the old one out?

If you find a new look now, right now, right now

If you find a new look now, right now, right now

If you find a new look now
