Verse 1:
Offer me the keys to drive, you're puffing vapors of sun
Your winy breath is heating my tum
And now, floor lamps swiftly fondle your eyes, not a doll
You're sculpture in motion, with emotions, to use with caution
But I should care about my things
Pre-chorus :
I could never stare at you, even if I wanted to
Your eyes are those of a judge
Your mouth is begging for oxygen but you know that I can't help
Staring at me like Olympia
Refrain :
Oh girls from around the world, come here and observe when Olympia is shaking like that
I must be a hound but I'd claim myself king if I saw again her body shaking like that
She's got me saying : Oh oh oh
Turn it baby (x3)
She's got me saying : Oh oh oh
Turn it baby (x3)
Verse 2:
She ain't my girl, she ain't my girl but I wish she'd be
Even close to me she be missing
Man all my paper can't buy me a mere « maybe »
She ain't my pearl, she ain't my pearl, yeah that's a jolie Jolenne for ya
We're all the wagon she's taking her coal from, on here way
I'd buy her any shit, for a day, or a year
Aren't you tired all your sharpened arrows miss the target ?
Even if your eyes are saying « girl I hit the market »
What ? You want a car ? A glass at the bar ? Should I buy a ticket to Qatar ?
Babe, I could be your salt and pepper, presents for prison, you're my first papercut, I pay it's pleasant
Picking in pockets just for the sake of seeing you pleasured
I could let my stomach hurt for fur, I'd fight a hurd
But I heard you learnt how to take care of yourself, fine, no misleading her
Cash is paper, jewels are rocks, never gonna get your credit card to talk, give it up
Pre-chorus.
Refrain.
Bridge :
Ouh she's coming at me, but never for the first time
We kiss but our lips never touch babe
And now, if I laid a touch on you, I would lose contact
Your belly contracts
Pre-chorus.
Refrain.
Outro :
And I don't know what she wants
But I could get her anything, anything
I can't get no answers
Man out, giving up
