Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey
RedOne, you know I can do it better than you
I can do it even better in broken heels

Hey, hey
All the ladies tell the fellas we can do what they can do
We can do it even better in broken heels
I roll my sleeves up, wrap my hair up
There's no sign on the road so I never stop
Can you catch me? Yeah, yeah, yeah
You'll never catch me, ay, ay, ay

I'm fresh out the box, fast like a fox
Boss in my shoes, tick tock, 12 o'clock
You better watch me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sit back and watch me, ay, ay, ay

You go hard, yes, you do
But when I go it's a magic show
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I get it when I want it and I get it right

Hey, hey
All the ladies tell the fellas we can do what they can do
We can do it even better with broken heels

Hey, hey
All the ladies tell the fellas we can do what they can do
We can do it even better in broken heels

Anything you can do I can do better
Boy, I can do it in broken heels
Anything you can do we can do better
Boy, I can do it in broken, broken heels

When you step it up I'm 20 levels up
I took the escalator, elevator to the top
How you like me? Yeah, yeah, yeah
You gotta like me, ay, ay, ay

Oh, you know we rock, we control the block
Whatever's going down, ladies take the biggest cut
We bring the party, yeah, yeah, yeah
We bought the party, ay, ay, ay

You go hard, yes, you do
But when I go it's a magic show
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I get it when I want it and I get it right

Hey, hey
All the ladies tell the fellas we can do what they can do
We can do it even better in broken heels

Hey, hey
All the ladies tell the fellas we can do what they can do
We can do it even better in broken heels

Anything you can do I can do better
Boy, I can do it in broken heels
Anything you can do we can do better
Boy, I can do it in broken, broken heels

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

this lady is proof that the music industry is a shady business, someone like her who is beautiful with pure talent and dance moves should be comfortably sitting on the throne all things being equal

@annhastie8739

They did the cabal shut her down​@@amazingunreleasedalbums

@politefan8141

Loved this era of pop music. So fun and energetic. Little did I know in only a few years time, the influence of streaming and trap music would come and ruin it.

@DamienHurts

Same! It was more fun, more carefree and you could tell they weren't trying to be so cool like singers today seem to be trying to do. And I was just listening to that terrrible new Tate McRae song Greedy... and i can't believe how many people are praising her for her vocals?! comparing her singing to Alexandra Burke, it's so clear where the true talent is. These new pop 'stars' are so forgettable and mediocre... this generation seems to be okay with that, which i feel bad for lol

@adamtrzuskowski4538
