[English]

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Ooh, something's changed

Ooh, but I've been waiting for

Ooh, I feel its weight

Ooh, falling to the floor

See, I've been fighting my words

But I'm winning my worth

I'm good to lose

The award goes to

You

'Cause you felt my pain

Then you got in my way

It's true, I don't need you, baby, mm

Ooh, that felt good to say

See I've been fighting my words

But I'm winning my worth, yeah

I'm good to lose

The award goes to

You

You, you, you, you

You, you, you, you

You, you, you, you

Goes to you

You, you, you, you

You, baby

Oh, yeah

It goes to you

True, your ego's bruised

We're through and I feel it for you

Truth I dare to breathe

Not for you, but for me, yeah

See I've been fighting my words

But I'm winning my worth, yeah

I'm good to lose

The award goes to

You

You, you, you, you

You, you, you, you

You, you, you, you, you, you

The award goes to you

You, you, you, you

It goes to you

It's all you

Mmm, yeah
