That Girl – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Girls, girls, girls on a roll

Salute me if you see me drive pon road

Drop it down, dip low, I see you go

Walkin' with your guy, yeah, young CEO

Tell a wasteman you ain't got no time

When they hate then give 'em no eye

Got your head dipped, poppin' up skin-tight

Not just somebody, she light up the party

That girl, she know what she want

Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

That girl, that girl in the sun

She wine up her waist like rum-pa-pum-pum

She wears, wears diamonds with the pearls

Can't tell her no, she's in control

All around town them boys be singing like (woo)

Singing like (woo)

Singing like, that girl, she know what she want

Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

That girl

Singing like, that girl (woo)

Singing like (woo)

Singing like, that girl, she know what she want

Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

There ain't nothing you can offer

That will make her change her mind

They all want a chance to lover her

But her bling will turn you blind

(Oh) Keep it all low-key

(Oh) Make her move slowly

(Oh) Don't hit her up knowing

You're only gonna waste her time

That girl, she know what she want

Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

That girl, that girl in the sun

She wine up her waist like rum-pa-pum-pum

She wears, wears diamonds with the pearls

Can't tell her no, she's in control

All around town them boys be singing like (woo)

Singing like (woo)

Singing like, that girl, she know what she want

Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

That girl

That girl

Singing like, that girl (woo)

Singing like (woo)

Singing like, that girl, she know what she want

Make her own dollar, she don't need a man

She don't need a man, she don't need a fella

Got her own thing, don't even holler

She a real girl, don't hide your colours

If you ain't ready, then don't even bother

That girl

She don't need a man, she don't need a fella

Got her own thing, don't even holler

She a real girl, don't hide your colours

If you ain't ready, then don't even bother

That girl
