[English]

Hey, Mr. Nonchalant

I like your eyes 'cause they match my th-

Hug on me, why you hugging up on the wall?

Looking like you ain't done nothing wrong before

I know my waist and my belly ring

Probably got you thinking all kind of things

Like what it looks like whenever the jeans come o-

All this teasing is t- me on and on

On, on

I'm getting mine, I don't get shy

No, it's not what it looks like (Uh-huh)

Real bad, but it sit nice

Fine, gotta look twice (Uh-huh)

No special occasion

But you could wear me like a neck tie (Uh-huh)

From what I heard through the grapevine

It's only right that we makе wine

Sloshed (Sipping on me)

Sloshеd (Intoxicated)

Sloshed (Pourin' heavy)

Sloshed (Go chaser)

Sloshed (Sip-sipping on me)

Sloshed (Intoxicated)

Sloshed (Pourin' heavy)

Sloshed (Go chaser)

Hey, Mr. Nonchalant

I'm Mrs. Get-Anything-I-Want

Lucky for you, yeah, I like all kind of things

I'm a tiger, but I like all kind of prints

Brace yourself, we got time to beat

Pace yourself when you're downing me

I'm usually the one they plotting on

But it's you that I wanna follow home

On, on

I'm getting mine, I don't get shy

No, it's not what it looks like (Uh-huh)

Real bad, but it sit nice

Fine, gotta look twice (Uh-huh)

No special occasion

But you could wear me like a neck tie (Uh-huh)

From what I heard through the grapevine

It's only right that we make wine

Sloshed (Sipping on me)

Sloshed (Intoxicated)

Sloshed (Pourin' heavy)

Sloshed (Go chaser)

Sloshed (Sip-sipping on me)

Sloshed (Intoxicated)

Sloshed (Pourin' heavy)

Sloshed (Go chaser)
