She’s so addictive, supernatural
She took a shot to forget
That once they left her crying (crying)
She pretends it doesn’t hurt
That’s why she keeps on drinking (drinking)
Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude
Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour
Her friends tell her: make a blue page
So they see what they lost, oh-oh
Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude
Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour
Her friends tell her: make a blue page
So they see what they lost, what they lost
Now she's in the vibe
Posted a story on Insta looking so hot
Hearts raining down, millions wanting her
But she's got only one on her mind
I know what it feels like
I’ll ask for her phone, please, don’t stop me
I’m going for it, let’s see what comes out
I could be the cure for her troubles
‘Cause tonight, she and I are the same
Oh well, I ended up begging
‘Cause I know she gets lost with me (gets lost)
She gets lost
No one’s ever touched her like I do
That’s why she dies for me (dies for me)
And even when we’re not good
In bed, things work out and she comes (she comes)
She comes
If she’s seen with someone else
You know that’s not real, chill, baby (chill, baby)
Chill, baby
She took a shot to forget
That once they left her crying (crying)
She pretends it doesn’t hurt
And that’s why she keeps on drinking (drinking)
Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude
Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour
Her friends tell her: make a blue page
So they see what they lost, oh-oh
Black pearls with Red Bull, always got her attitude
Love for the coffin, sexy dance, she went on a tour
Her friends tell her: make a blue page
So they see what they lost, what they lost
