[English]

OOH, THAT'S SO TRUE, OOH, OH

BUT I KNOW WHAT I KNOW AND YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER DUDE

OOH, YOU'VE GOT ME THINKING, "SHE'S SO COOL"

THE ROOM, WAIT, I THINK I'VE BEEN THERE TOO, OOH

KICKING BACK ON YOUR COUCH, MAKING EYES FROM ACROSS

MM, BET YOU'RE THINKING, "SHE'S SO COOL"

THAT'S YOUR PRIZE, THAT'S YOUR PRIZE WELL

YOU SHOULD SPEND THE NIGHT, CATCH ME ON YOUR CEILING

DON'T YOU KNOW THE VIBE? DON'T YOU KNOW THE FEELING?

I'LL PUT UP A FIGHT, TAKING OUT MY EARRINGS

THAT'S MY LIFE, THAT'S MY LIFE

REMEMBER HOW I DIED WHEN YOU STARTED WALKING?

SAID THAT I WAS FINE, SAID IT FROM THE COFFIN

MADE IT OUT ALIVE, BUT I THINK I LOST IT

OOH, THAT'S SO TRUE, OOH

BUT I KNOW WHAT I KNOW AND YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER DUDE

OOH, YOU'VE GOT ME THINKING, "SHE'S SO COOL"

THE ROOM, WAIT, I THINK I'VE BEEN THERE TOO, OOH

KICKING BACK ON YOUR COUCH, MAKING EYES FROM ACROSS

OOH, BET YOU'RE THINKING, "SHE'S SO COOL"

NOT MY BUSINESS, BUT I HAD TO WARN YA

I'M SORRY SHE'S MISSING IT, SAD, SAD BOY

WAIT, I THINK I HATE HER, I'M NOT THAT EVOLVED

BUT I THINK I LIKE HER, SHE'S SO FUN

NO, I KNOW,ÊI KNOW I'LL FUCK OFF

TAKING OFF YOUR SHIRT, I DID THAT ONCE, OR TWICE, UH

TAKING DOWN HER HAIR LIKE, OH MY GOD

WHAT'D SHE DO TO GET YOU OFF?

THE ROOM, WAIT, I THINK I'VE BEEN THERE TOO, OOH

KICKING BACK ON YOUR COUCH, MAKING EYES FROM ACROSS

OOH, BET YOU'RE THINKING, "SHE'S SO COOL"

NOW I'M POSITIVE, I SHOULD GO AND WARN HER

YOU'RE AN IDIOT,ÊNOW I'M SURE

SMILING THROUGH IT ALL, YEAH, THAT'S MY LIFE

DID IT JUST TO HURT ME, MAKE ME CRY

LOOKING INTO BIG BLUE EYES

LIVING IN YOUR GLASS HOUSE, I'M OUTSIDE, UH

THINK ABOUT YOUR DUMB FACE ALL THE TIME

I COULD GO AND READ YOUR MIND
