Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If you want this all, you know

Say you wanna fight it

Put it all in design, you know

Say you're lookin' for a diamond

How you gonna find her? Look it in a room full of stones

Yeah, it's tough sometimes

I'll take her off your mind

I'm litty lit, I'm feelin' it

It's gonna be a long, long night

Say you wanna love someone like me

Say you wanna work hard for this body

Say you wanna love someone like me

Gotta have to work if you want this all, you know

And I won't lie

Show me all that you know

And in the lights

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone, say you want someone like me

...

Someone like me

To hold you down, tryna ship around

To ride that wave, night and day, say you ready for it now, ooh

You be messin' with the wrong crowd

Way too many drinks up in that penthouse

I'm talkin' shit, I'm litty lit

It's gonna be a long, long night

Hmm, hmm

...

It's gonna be a long, long night

Hmm, hmm

Say you wanna love someone like me

Say you wanna work hard for this body

Say you wanna love someone like me

Gotta have to work if you want this all, you know

And I won't lie

Show me all that you know

And in the lights

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone, say you want someone like me

...

Say you want someone like me, oh, oh

Say you wanna love someone like me

Say you wanna work hard for this body

Say you wanna love someone like me

Gotta have to work if you want this all, you know

And I won't lie

Show me all that you know

And in the lights

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me, say you want someone

Say you want someone like me

...
