[English]

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it, lock it, lock it

Unlock it

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it

(Beautiful)

Rollercoaster ride in the fast lane

Got the roof down

Kiss me hard in the rain

You got the candy colored eyes

Pink and gold chain

Million dollar babe

Whip it out, like I'm propane

You're on my mind

I'm feeling kinda nervous, but I like it

Take my t-shirt off and do it right

You're on my mind

The feeling, like an astronaut

Watchin' the world all alone, just you and I

(Beautiful)

Rollercoaster ride in the fast lane

Got the roof down

Kiss me hard in the pourin' rain

Yeah, I can see it in your eyes

Know you feel the same

Million dollar babe

Trippin' on it, like propane

(Beautiful)

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it, lock it, lock it

Unlock it

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it

Got the key, can you unlock it?

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it, lock it, lock it

Unlock it

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it

Got the key, can you unlock it?

Caught in a liplock when we pitstop

Cosmic kiss tastes like cherry maraschino

Ride passenger seat, tropical heat

Eyes so red, you could be my Valentino, yeah

If you want my heart then don't you drop it

(Want my heart then don't you drop it)

I'm right here, right in your pocket

(I'm right here, right in your pocket)

Don't you drop it, never stop it

(Never stop it)

If you want my love (my love), try to unlock it

Rollercoaster ride in the fast lane

Got the roof down

Kiss me hard in the pourin' rain

Yeah, I can see it in your eyes

Know you feel the same

Million dollar babe

Trippin' on it, like propane

(Beautiful)

Unlock the swag, Rae Sremmurd

Make you hit them high notes like you a tenor

Big appetite, girl you my dinner

I know they could do you but I could do it better

Bring me out to London, yeah (UK)

I can show you somethin' yeah (somethin')

Unlock your clothes off your body

Give you lovin', yeah (let's get it)

'Cause that's how we do (that's how we do)

You wantin' me too (wantin' me too)

You got me see-through

I'd like to be you

We not there yet, girl, but we on the way

We on the surfboard, yeah, we ridin' waves

Let's get it going girl, let's andale

Let's andale, sip this champagne

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it

Lock it, lock it, unlock it

Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it
