[English]

How was I to know you just come along?

(And funk my life up)

Lips like Debbie's, singin' sex cup, strawberry songs

(Just funk my life up)

Never heard her coming, thought that she's just another woman

with a shotgun in her hand

(Funk my life up)

She's a bait, she's a beat, she's a rhythm, she's the band

(Just funk my life up)

And the girl's so fine

Makes you wanna scream Hallelujah

Yeah, eh-yeah

Sly hand, spinning wax like silk

Beats are dripping on me, are like spider milk

And I never had a warning when I woke up this morning

with my sunshine on a drip

She's my rock, she's my butt, she's the keen, she's the trip

And the girl's so fine

Makes you wanna scream Hallelujah

Yeah, eh-yeah

How could I refuse, I'm not fit to choose?

(Just funk my life up)

Say the only way I win is the way I lose

(Just funk my life up)

And I never got a script, I ain't zip, got a little bit of red up in my brain

She's the church, she's your sin, she's a diamond chaser

Oh, she's the rain

And the girl's so fine

You wanna scream

Yeah, eh-yeah

She gets me silly

She's like a trick on me

Hell, I don't even know her name, but yet she sticks to me

And in the climax, she would scream with me

Yeah, she sticks to me

She gets me funny, she doesn't want none of my money

So I poured it over her like gasoline

Hadn't mentioned I'm back in my teens

Me and super girl smoking my green

Me and super girl smoking my green

Oh Lord, reload, eyes bags, train

Sweet thing, nose rings, jet back, sing

Round house, smack down, let's go

Yeah, the girl's so fine

Makes you wanna scream Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Yeah, the girl's so fine

You wanna scream, eh, eh
