[English]

Your love is sweet like watermelon gum

it’s probably not so good for me, but I don’t care at all

This candy crush I hope it’s never gone

Soon I’ll get a cavity deep inside my heart

But how can I self regulate your love has got me hooked

I should try something healthy but it never tastes as good

Me and my me and my sweet tooth

No I can’t help it if it wants you

I know there’s plenty worse addictions

But I just can’t help the feeling

Me and my me and my sweet tooth and you

Problem with a heart of candy rocks

You really have to work for it but still don’t get a lot

It’s 4am I’m still up in the dark

Buzzing off the sugar rush, I tried to make it stop

But how can I self regulate your love has got me hooked

I should try something healthy but it never tastes as good

Me and my me and my sweet tooth

No I can’t help it if it wants you

I know there’s plenty worse addictions

But I just can’t help the feeling

Me and my me and my sweet tooth and you

Wanna get over it

But do i really really want to

If I’m out

Late at night

Tryna fight my sweet tooth

Wanna get over it

But do I really really want to

if i’m here

every night

dreaming bout your sweet tooth

Me and my me and my sweet tooth

No I can’t help it if it wants you

I know there’s plenty worse addictions

But I just can’t help the feeling

Me and my me and my sweet tooth

Me and my me and my sweet tooth

No I can’t help it if it wants you

I know there’s plenty worse addictions

But I just can’t help the feeling

Me and my me and my sweet tooth and you

Me and my me and my sweet tooth and you

Me and my me and my sweet tooth and you
