[English]

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't

I have to leave, oh, no

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't

I have to leave, oh, no (woo)

It's hot, I think I wanna kick off both of my socks

I can feel it boilin' up in this pot

A closed mouth don't get fed, is you hungry or not?

Like brr brr, operator

Caboose like, choo choo, bless my trainer (woo)

Thank God, thank God, thank God, I'm gettin' thicker

And I got 'em sweatin' in the middle of the winter

(Get up) I don't get dehydrated, I moisturize it daily

I am my inspiration, I am my inspiration (get up)

But I love you, no limit, I need to know you in it

If you got time, let's spend it, oh, yeah

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't

I have to leave, oh, no

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't

I have to leave, oh, no

Ooh, I think I need a washrag, perspiratin'

Gimme that sweet tea, you think I'm playin'

I need it all night, no sleep

You can get it in the kitchen if you sweatin' out the sheets

Like brr, brr, operator

You got me like, hee-hee, Mike Jackson (c'mon girl)

Thank God, thank God, thank God, I'm gettin' thicker

And I can make you boil up, baby, let it simmer

(Get up) I don't get dehydrated, I moisturize it daily

I am my inspiration, I am my inspiration (get up)

But I love you, no limit, I need to know you in it

If you got time, let's spend it, oh, yeah

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't

I have to leave, oh, no

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't

I have to leave, oh, no

I'm so pretty and so ditty and these boys be after kitty

I just snap and pivot, uh-huh, uh-huh

I'm so pretty and so ditty and these boys be after kitty

I just snap and pivot, uh-huh, uh-huh

(Get up) I don't get dehydrated, I moisturize it daily

I am my inspiration, I am my inspiration (get up)

But I love you, no limit, I need to know you in it

If you got time, let's spend it, oh, yeah

I am free, yeah, yeah

Come water me, oh, oh

Love you so, but if you don't
