The world is ours, the world is yours and mine
But maybe without me, the world will be yours
And maybe with him, the world will be yours, and maybe that's better this way
My feelings dance the Macarena
So I tell myself that if you're with him, you'll feel better
But if you feel better, you'll forget about me, oh la la
My heart dances the Macarena la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
Oh la la
My heart dances the Macarena la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
Sabrina
You're already in your thirties, we have fun but I’m only in my twenties, so that’s all I do
Don’t talk to me about marriage, I
Waste your time but damn, it's so good when I poke your implants
I feel like I did before, like when I had nothing to care about, I
Am young, don't care about the future, about what our relationship will become
But for him, that’s not the case, he already has a job, plays the mature man
But you know that in bed, I outdo him
Remember when you had aches, I really fucked you up
Remember the rest, hotels and suites
I’d invite you to VIP parties, on TV, you watched my clips
We did it without autotune, over a Twinsmatic beat
It’s my way of romantically saying I didn’t use a condom
The world is ours, the world is yours and mine
But maybe without me, the world will be yours
And maybe with him, the world will be yours, and maybe that's better this way
My feelings dance the Macarena
So I tell myself that if you're with him, you'll feel better
But if you feel better, you'll forget about me, oh la la
My heart dances the Macarena la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
Oh la la
My heart dances the Macarena la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
I pretended to be doing well
When you started, went to his place, well I didn’t say anything
But I knew you were screwing around to escape
After all, I was just here to help out (yeah)
I won’t go into details, I had to bleed, I was hurt
I packed you up, you replaced me, you abandoned me (yeah)
But like any bastard, I called you, I got you back
Then I made you cry because I couldn’t care less, that’s life (yeah)
What did you think? You’re sleeping with me, you’re sleeping with others
Even if I do the same, it’s not the same thing
Well, yes and no, I need my dose, my libido
And don’t break my balls, don’t act like you’re replying
Anyway, I don’t want us to argue much anymore
Maybe with him, the world will be yours and maybe that’s better this way
So I tell myself that if you're with him, you'll feel better
But if you feel better, you'll forget about me
Oh la la (yeah)
My heart dances the Macarena la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
Oh la la (yeah, yeah)
My heart dances the Macarena la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la
Yes
Dams
Yes, yes, yes, yes
