[English]

I was just telling that I got this girl before

And I was together since 3 years

And uhh, I was not even cheating her or what

And Facebook arrived and uhh she wanted me to accept her on Facebook

And I don't want it because I was like in front of her

And she told me like "Accept me on Facebook"

It was virtual, means no sense

So I say "I'm in front of you, I don't need to accept you on Facebook"

She started to be crazy

She thought that because I didn't accept her

She thought I was cheating

She told me like, uh, "it's over"

I can't believe you

I said "come on you're crazy" because like yeah

I'm in front of you, I'm every day

Here in your house

That's, it means like it's jealousy

Pure jealousy for nothing

You know

Virtual thing
