I try and try, but it leads to nothing, ah

We fight again (Again, again, again, again)

I try, I try, sometimes she talks to me

And sometimes she doesn't either (Why?)

Like a baby

Mami, enough, mami, enough (Enough)

I'm tired of fighting (No)

Baby, enough, baby, enough (Enough)

Don't expect me to answer

Just give me a break, break, break

I think you nag like the law (Uh)

Don't say "okay" again

Treat me right, because...

And sometimes she doesn't either (Why?)

Like a baby

Mami, enough, mami, enough

I'm tired of fighting

Baby, enough, baby, enough

Don't expect me to answer

Just give me a break, break, break

I think you nag like the law (Uh)

Don't say "okay" again

Treat me right

I'm not in the mood for fighting

Dance, because I'm enjoying it

To the rhythm of my song

Of course you're right

I'm not going to argue
