[English]

Superstar, where you from? How's it going?

I know you got a clue what you're doing

You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here

But I know what you are

What you are, baby

Look at you gettin' more than just a re-up

Baby, you got all the puppets with their strings up

Fakin' like a good one but I call 'em like I see 'em

I know what you are

What you are, baby

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer

Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby

You, you-you are, you, you-you are

Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

You got me goin'

You're, oh, so charmin'

But I can't do it

You womanizer

So boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

You say I'm crazy

I got your crazy

You're nothing but a

Womanizer

Daddy-O, you got the swagger of a champion

Too bad for you, you just can't find the right companion

I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard

It could be easy who you are

That's who you are, baby

Lollipop, must mistake me you're the sucker

To think that I would be a victim, not another

Say it, play it, how you want it

But no way, I'm never gonna fall for you

Never you, baby

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer

Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby

You, you-you are, you, you-you are

Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

You got me goin'

You're, oh, so charmin'

But I can't do it

You womanizer

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

You say I'm crazy

I got your crazy

You're nothing but a

Womanizer

Maybe if we both lived in a different world

It would be all good and maybe I could be your girl

But I can't, 'cause we don't and you

...

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer

Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby

You, you-you are, you, you-you are

Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

You got me goin'

You're, oh, so charmin'

But I can't do it

You womanizer

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

Boy don't try to front I

I know just, just, what you are, are-are

You say I'm crazy

I got your crazy

You're nothing but a

Womanizer
