[English]

(Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side)

(Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side)

I see you creepin', yeah, I see you from the sideline

I saw you in the corner, me, my man don't really mind

I let you dead in the club, I left it for the night

You're looking for him, but he's something that you'll never find

Wait, your name

Did come up a few times, but he said you're not comparing to me

Funny that you'd run and hide, tell me why

Why'd you ever wanna say?

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

Texted him, "Sorry," said you didn't mean to bother none

Show face at his own party like it's a coincidence

I see you seethin', he's not leavin' here with you tonight

That shitty poetry only made you the pick-me type

Wait, your name

Did come up a few times, but he said you're not comparing to me

Funny that you'd run and hide from me, why

Why'd you ever wanna say?

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

Ah, I'm by his side

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

Ah, I'm by his side

Something you wanted to say

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side

(Hi, hi)

Something you wanted to say, but I'm by his side
