[English]

I'm with a bad boy driving a Mercedes-Benz

Oh, my love, oh, my love

Baby, baby, tonight I'll wait for you in the hotel (okay, AVA)

I try to forget you, but I know I won't succeed

Baby, baby, you'll always be my first love

You've stayed on the street, I haven't been back in a while

Black windows if we drive in the back of the Porsche

Tonight I have a show, but he knows we'll meet later (later, later)

I lost my voice shouting at him, I'll do playback (playback, playback)

I didn't mean what I said, I was faded (faded, faded)

I made him suffer so much that now he's a hater (oh, oh-oh)

Baby, we haven't seen each other in a while

I've come a long way, you haven't

I always roam in a thousand different suites

I want to return to your place

I don't care if it's a Punto or a Porsche (no)

We've reached the top anyway (top)

Don't ask me if everything's okay

I have a world on my shoulders

Now that my Bottega bag is expensive

I'm with a bad boy driving a Mercedes-Benz

I don't want to deny that I still think of you

Baby, baby, tonight I'll wait for you in the hotel

I try to forget you, but I know I won't succeed

Baby, baby, you'll always be my first love

You've stayed on the street, I haven't been back in a while

Black windows if we drive in the back of the Porsche (yeah-yeah-yeah)

In the Bottega bag too many troubles

Between you and me there's a stand by

Oh, my love, oh, my love

Don't look at me like that, you know, the room gets hot

Then you lay me on your back without stopping

And, yes, do it like that

And I don't see you anymore, I don't believe you anymore

I'm on the street, baby, and you don't pass by here

It's always my fault, but what did you do?

Do you feel the beats? Remember the moments?

And it seems done when everything falls

And we're alone, what do we want to do?

And now everything changes, your face too

This love tires, you found the cures, baby (found the cures, baby)

Now that my Bottega bag is expensive

I'm with a baddie, driving a Mercedes-Benz

I don't want to deny that I still think of you

I don't think about others, just about me and you

I try to forget you, but I know I won't succeed

Baby, baby, you'll always be my first love

You've stayed on the street, I haven't been back in a while

Black windows if we drive in the back of the Porsche

[Italian]

Sto con un bad boy che gira in Mercedes-Benz

Oh, my love, oh, my love

Baby, baby, stasera ti aspetto in hotel (okay, AVA)

Cerco di scordarti, ma so che non riuscirò

Baby, baby, sarai per sempre il mio primo love

Sei rimasto in strada, io non ci torno da un po'

Vetri neri se giriamo nel retro del Porsche

Stasera ho uno show, ma sa che ci becchiamo later (later, later)

Ho perso la voce a urlargli contro, farò playback (playback, playback)

Non pensavo quello che ti ho detto, stavo faded (faded, faded)

L'ho fatto soffrire così tanto che ora è un hater (oh, oh-oh)

Baby, non ci vediamo da un po'

Io ne ho fatta di strada, tu no

Giro sempre in mille diverse suite

Voglio ritornare alla tua maison

Non mi frega se è Punto o Porsche (no)

Tanto abbiamo raggiunto il top (top)

Non mi chiedere se è tutto a posto

Ho un mondo addosso

Ora che è costosa la mia Bottega bag

Sto con un bad boy che gira in Mercedes-Benz

Non voglio negarti che penso ancora a te

Baby, baby, stasera ti aspetto in hotel

Cerco di scordarti, ma so che non riuscirò

Baby, baby, sarai per sempre il mio primo love

Sei rimasto in strada, io non ci torno da un po'

Vetri neri se giriamo nel retro del Porsche (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Nella Bottega bag troppi guai

Tra me e te c'è stand by

Oh, my love, oh, my love

Non guardarmi così che, lo sai, si fa hot la stanza

Poi mi sdrai sul tuo back senza stop

E, sì, fallo così

E non ti vedo più, non ti credo più

Sono in strada, baby, e tu non passi qui

È sempre colpa mia, ma cosa hai fatto tu?

Li senti i battiti? Ricordi gli attimi?

E sembra fatto quando tutto cade

E siamo soli, che vogliamo fare?

Ed ora tutto cambia, la tua faccia pure

Questo amore stanca, hai trovato le cure, baby (trovato le cure, baby)

Ora che è costosa la mia Bottega bag

Sto con una baddie, gira in Mercedes-Benz

Non voglio negarti che penso ancora a te

Non penso alle altre, ma soltanto a me e a te

Cerco di scordarti, ma so che non riuscirò

Baby, baby, sarai per sempre il mio primo love

Sei rimasto in strada, io non ci torno da un po'

Vetri neri se giriamo nel retro del Porsche
