[English]

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

You got real appeal in a very high dose

I know you in the field but ain't many get close

Nope

You're Vivienne Westgood

Versace shades, lil' mama givin' me them looks

I asked the waiter, "Can we get some lemon for our water?"

My shawty parched, she want calamari for the starter

Dreads swingin' like the third cover of Tha Carter

She oil up my scalp and then I dick her to mañana, what an honor

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

I don't wanna think 'bout

All the other things that we think 'bout

When we're nervous and it's awkward

And we're closer, and we both know how

We feel, we feel, we feel

We feel, we feel, we feel

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

If it's okay with you

Then it's okay with me

Alright baby

If it's okay with you, it's okay with me

Tryna get real nasty with you

A little, mm, uh

You know what I'm sayin?

Me, you, dinner, anything you want baby

Is it okay with you? Because it's okay with me

That's right

...
