[English]

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

The first mistake was caused by you

Just always looking fresh and blooming like a flower

So don't bother—what's the point?

When I'm on the floor

Dance floor, my feet keep moving

Under the colored lights, I don't hesitate

Your ears can't hear anyone calling out; the music's too loud

They be screaming my name

Under the spotlight, I got her love tonight

Don't do anything foolish, baby—no one needs that

I haven't even had time to move on

And you're busy applying lipstick

Because they’re waiting for you every hour

Millions of eyes are waiting

There's nothing left for you to regret

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me

Ah ah ah ah not my fault

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me (x2)

When this song plays, everyone nods

If you wanna dance, It's not my fault

Together with hotties stepping onto the stage

Stirring up the wild heartbeat—it's not my fault

Why oh why, don't hold it back

I'm just too fly, I'm just too shine

Not just tonight—any time I meet you

On mic, come and check vibe, alright

Natural fluctuations sometimes make them frown

Wherever you set foot, eyes on me like I'm the prize

Whether it's the arena or a castle

Sorry not sorry your gal like me

Sorry not sorry your boy like me

So-so-sorry not sorry yo your shawty

Just like me, want me

Just like me so bad

Don't do anything foolish, baby, nobody needs that

I still haven't had time to move on

And you're busy applying lipstick

Because they’re waiting for you every hour

Millions of eyes are waiting

There's nothing left for you to regret

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Baby you never be my man

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me

Ah ah ah ah not my fault

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me (x2)

It's not my fault she like me more

It's not my fault you didn't know

Wherever I go, she comes to watch

Her clothes and makeup always look just like mine

Oh she's a fan, she's a fan

I am not to blame

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me

Ah ah ah ah Ah-ah

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me (x2)

[Vietnamese]

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Lỗi đầu do em gây ra

Chỉ biết luôn tươi xinh như hoa

Vậy đừng làm phiền để làm chi

When I'm on the floor

Dance floor, đôi chân dung đưa

Theo ánh đèn màu chẳng đắn đo

Tai em không nghe thấy tiếng ai gọi nhạc quá to

They be screaming my name

Under the spotlight, I got her love tonight

Đừng làm gì dại khờ baby đâu ai cần

Anh còn chưa kịp move on

Còn em thì đang bận tô son

Vì họ mong ngóng em từng giờ

Hàng triệu đôi mắt đang đợi chờ

Chẳng còn gì để em tiếc nuối

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me

Ah ah ah ah not my fault

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me (x2)

Bài nhạc này bật lên ai nấy đều gật gật

If you wanna dance, It's not my fault

Cùng với hotties bước lên stage

Làm loạn nhịp đập cuồng nhiệt, It's not my fault

Why oh why, don't hold it back

I'm just too fly, I'm just too shine

Không riêng tối nay, bất cứ khi nào gặp được em

Đang on mic come and check vibe, alright

Những biến số từ tự nhiên đôi khi khiến họ chau mày

Nơi nào em đặt chân vào, eyes on me like I'm the prize

Dù đấu trường hay đó là lâu đài

Sorry not sorry your gal like me

Sorry not sorry your boy like me

So-so-sorry not sorry yo your shawty

Just like me, want me

Just like me so bad

Đừng làm gì dại khờ baby đâu ai cần

Anh còn chưa kịp move on

Còn em thì đang bận tô son

Vì họ mong ngóng em từng giờ

Hàng triệu đôi mắt đang đợi chờ

Chẳng còn gì để em tiếc nuối

Baby you never be my man

Got a new girlfriend? She's my fan

Guess you didn't know, take it slow

Baby, not my fault

Baby you never be my man

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me

Ah ah ah ah not my fault

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me (x2)

It's not my fault she like me more

It's not my fault you didn't know

Em đi đâu cô ấy cũng tới xem

Quần áo make up luôn giống em

Oh she's a fan, she's a fan

I am not to blame

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me

Ah ah ah ah Ah-ah

Ah ah ah ah you wanna be just like me (x2)
