Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She can autograph my pockets
Anytime, anyplace, anyway
I'll be looking at everybody else watchin'
I don't wanna be obnoxious
But this girl worth the gossip
Take away the smile
The tattoos now, forever she very guard-less
She might set off my rocket
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
On and poppin' she mad marketing
Attitude like we arguing
With her by my side bring glitter to my life
I should twitter this girl is sparkling
She ain't no rock star
But she got groupies
She ain't no actress
But she makes movies
And when she struts that thing around
Everybody be breaking their neck like
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
She ain't got riches but she got fashion
She ain't a model but camera's flashing
And when she struts that thing around
Everybody be breaking their neck like
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
Hey, I wanna know her mama's name
'Cause that where she get it from
They ain't never shot her with silicon
Shawty is her and her she's the real one
Touch one, grab one, feel one
I wish she woulda told me that
Ain't nothing wrong bringing the old me back
Little mama knows my body so trophy glass
She worth it, bring me some Chloe bags
Like damn, can I be yo' police badge
Pull it up, get a little cozy and
Woman is sorta like and oldie jam
Record some ssh
On a playboy cam
She ain't no actress
The movie from my mattress
Rock star, none of that practice
But still she got fanatics
She ain't no rock star
But she got groupies
She ain't no actress
But she makes movies
And when she struts that thing around
Everybody be breaking their neck like
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
She ain't got riches but she got fashion
She ain't a model but camera's flashing
And when she struts that thing around
Everybody be breaking their neck like
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
Ooh oh oh, look at her goo ooh ooh
I wanna know ooh ooh
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
Ooh oh oh, look at her goo ooh ooh
I wanna know ooh ooh
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
She ain't no rock star
But she got groupies
She ain't no actress
But she makes movies
And when she struts that thing around
Everybody be breaking their neck like
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
She ain't got riches but she got fashion
She ain't a model but camera's flashing
And when she struts that thing around
Everybody be breaking their neck like
Who dat girl who dat girl, who dat girl
