[English]

Well, the look of the cake, it ain't
It ain't always the taste
My ex girl, she had such a
Such a beautiful face
I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl so she could
So she could love herself
Oh, my next girl
Will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
Oh, my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful death, nah
I got a second chance, yeah

Oh, her beautiful face
And her wicked ways
And I'm praying for her beautiful face
Everyday
All that work over
Over so much time, If I
If I think too hard, I might lose my mind
Oh, my next girl, yeah
Will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
Yeah, my next girl
Should be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance and I
I got a second chance, yeah
Oh no
Oh my next girl, yeah
