[English]

I feel, oh so glamorous, looking super fabulous

Sometimes I'm insecure, something I can't ignore

All the flashing cameras, try my best to handle it

I'm just the girl next door, I can hear the rumours take all

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me

I can tell by the look that they wanna be

Be hot, hot, hot like that

But it's not, not, no it's not like that

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me (oh)

They put me down 'cause of jealousy

But I'm not, not, I'm not that girl

And it's not, not, no it's not my world

So many girls be checkin' my style

Checkin' my style, checkin' my style

So many girls be checkin' my style

But I don't even care, no

I move in mysterious, ways that got them curious

They're looking at what I'm wearing

Standing on the sidelines staring

Taking every chance I get

To find who I'm going with

And I just wish they'd see, what I'm like in real life

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me (eyes on me)

I can tell by the look that they wanna be (oh)

Be hot, hot, hot like that

But it's not, not, no it's not like that

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me (oh)

They put me down 'cause of jealousy

But I'm not, not, I'm not that girl

And it's not, not, no it's not my world

So many girls be checkin' my style

Checkin' my style, checkin' my style

So many girls be checkin' my style

But I don't even care, no

What's good? I'm weak no longer

In life, it's making me stronger

What I like, I'mma get that

Like a quick cat, no, I won't quit that, you heard me

You'll find that I'm just like you

And I do the same things you do

The type of chick that hits spots, in my flip-flops

Listening to Hip-Hop, you feel me

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me (yeah)

I can tell by the look that they wanna be (they wanna be)

Be hot, hot, hot like that

But it's not, not, no it's not like that

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me (on me)

They put me down 'cause of jealousy (jealousy)

But I'm not, not, I'm not that girl

And it's not, not, no it's not my world

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me

I can tell by the look that they wanna be (they wanna be)

Be hot, hot, hot like that

But it's not, not, no it's not like that

All the girls in the club got their eyes on me (oh, whoa)

They put me down 'cause of jealousy

But I'm not, not, I'm not that girl

And it's not, not, no it's not my world
