[English]

They want that yacht life, under chopper blades

They want those bright lights and Balenci' shades

And a fat ass with a baby face

They want it all

They want that complex female character

They want that critical smash Palme d'Or

And an Oscar on their bathroom floor

They want it all

And they should have what they want

They deserve what they want

Hope they get what they want

I just want you, huh

Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you

We tell the world to leave us thе fuck alone, and they do, wow

Got me drеamin' 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop

Boss up, settle down, got a wish (Wish) list (List)

I just want you

They want that freedom, living off the grid

They want those three dogs that they call their kids

And that good surf, no hypocrites

They want it all

They want a contract with Real Madrid

They want that spring break that was fuckin' lit

And then that video taken off the internet

They want it all

And they should have what they want

They deserve what they want

I hope they get what they want

I just want you, huh (You, you, yeah)

Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you

We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do (Ooh), wow

Got me dreamin' 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop (Hoop)

Boss up, settle down, got a wish (Wish) list (List)

I made wishes on all of the stars

Please, God, bring me a best friend who I think is hot

I thought I had it right, once, twice, but I did not

You caught me off my guard

I hope I get what I want (Get what I want)

'Cause I know what I want

I just want you, huh (Baby)

Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you (Got 'em lookin' like you)

We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do, wow

Got me dreamin' 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop

Boss up, settle down, got a wish (Wish) list (List)

I just want you (Ooh)

And we could have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you (You)

We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do (Yeah), wow

And now you got me dreamin' 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop

Boss up, settle down, got a wish (Wish) list (List)

I just want you
