She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Tchikita Tchikita

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Tchikita Tchikita

She spent the whole night teasing me

She's not in the same vibe as the girls next door

I look her in the eyes while sipping my cocktail

She saw me in the VIP, thinks I'm a cool guy

It's not that if she smokes with me, I won't mess with her

Take my snap or my Facebook, I don't have Instagram

She wants to talk to me, acting all big, the lady

I have nothing for you, I'm still living in my hustle

I dive into her eyes, I drown in them

I look at her, I see myself in her

I dive into her eyes, I drown in them

I look at her, I see myself in her

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Tchikita Tchikita

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Tchikita Tchikita

But where were you, girl?

I imagined you like this when I was alone

Sometimes you give me the cold shoulder

We act tough and then we argue

I see nothing in front of her magical curves

I escape, I become very nostalgic

She got all dressed up, yeah, she did her nails

She styled her hair long

I like her, she's nice and simple

No need to pick her up in a Lambo

She finds me handsome even when I'm not

Run from me, I'll follow you, she won't run from me

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Tchikita Tchikita

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Tchikita Tchikita

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

She has a killer look, Tchikita

Long hair like Nikita

If she doesn't leave me, I won't leave her

Mais ou t'étais girl

J't'imaginais comme ça quand j'étais seul

Des fois tu m'fais la gueule

Rien qu'on fait les fiers et qu'on s'engueule

J'vois plus rien devant son boule magique

Je m'évade je deviens très nostalgique

Elle s'est fait belle ouai elle s'est fait les ongles

Elle a fait les plaques sur ses cheveux longo

J'l'aime bien elle est gentille et simple

Pas besoin d'aller la chercher en Lambo

Elle me trouve beau même quand j'le suis pas

Fuis moi j'te suis elle j'la suis elle m'fuit pas
