[English]

She wants to come try again

Wants to come try again

I'll take you back another time

She wants to stay close

I respect your space

But see my side this time

Like everyone, we have our drama

Our bed’s a battlefield

I love the way she dances

Nothing will fade our flame

If you want, call (come here)

Leave that drama (way over there)

Night’s a child (come paint)

Stay until morning

I pack the money in the bag

I put the shhh in the bag

This rush has a price

One day you'll understand

I know

Everyone wants what I gave

But nobody has what I have

She wants to come try again

Wants to come try again

I'll take you back another time

She wants to stay close

I respect your space

But see my side this time

Round one

We let ourselves get caught up in the rumors

In round two, I messed up, I own it

The tattoos are etched in my skin

Is it infinity or an eight?

I’ll leave it to your choice

Just make the move, I’ll pack my bags

I grab the past and shoot my shot

What nobody knows, nobody breaks

Only a house gets torn apart

I know

Everyone wants what I gave

But nobody has what I have

She wants to come try again

Wants to come try again

I'll take you back another time

She wants to stay close

I respect your space

But see my side this time

She wants to come try again

Wants to come try again

I'll take you back another time

She wants to stay close

I respect your space

But see my side this time

She wants to come try again

He wants to come try again

...

[Portuguese]

Ela quer vir tentar

Quer vir tentar

Eu vou-te aceitar outra vez

Ela quer tar do lado

Eu respeito o teu espaço

Mas vê o meu lado esta vez

Como todos também temos drama

Campo de batalha é nossa cama

Adoro a maneira que ela dança

Nada vai apagar nossa chama

Se quiseres chama (vem pra cá)

Deixa esse drama (bem pra lá)

Noite é uma criança (vem pintar)

Fica até de manhã

Eu ponho o money na bag

Eu ponho a shhh na preg

Essa correria tem preço

Um dia vais entender

Eu sei

Todos querem dar o que eu dei

Mas o que eu tenho ninguém tem

Ela quer vir tentar

Quer vir tentar

Eu vou-te aceitar outra vez

Ela quer tar do lado

Eu respeito o teu espaço

Mas vê o meu lado esta vez

Round um

Deixámo-nos por conta duns zum zum zuns

Na round two, fui eu que fiz merda eu assumo

As tattoos, ficaram marcadas no corpo

Será um infinito ou um oito?

Eu vou deixar para a tua choice

Basta dares o toque, faço a mala

Pego no passado meto bala

O que ninguém sabe ninguém estraga

Só se estraga uma casa

Eu sei

Todas querem dar o que eu dei

Mas o que eu tenho ninguém tem

Ela quer vir tentar

Quer vir tentar

Eu vou-te aceitar outra vez

Ela quer tar do lado

Eu respeito o teu espaço

Mas vê o meu lado esta vez

Ela quer vir tentar

Quer vir tentar

Eu vou-te aceitar outra vez

Ela quer tar do lado

Eu respeito o teu espaço

Mas vê o meu lado esta vez

Ela quer vir tentar

Ele quer vir tentar
