But you never thought you'd meet a girl quite like me (like me)
I like the ball
I'll take you out
Buy out the mall
You never thought you'd meet a girl quite like me
I own them all
The cribs and cars
I'm a superstar

Anything you want
Boy you know I got it
Put you on a plane
Go somewhere exotic
Take you all around the world
Fulfill your fantasies
I can make you love
I'll be everything you need

That's your girlfriend, yeah whatever
I know I can love you better
She's not special
I just met her
I know I can love you better

Ohhh

You need me in your life you should call
I'll save you
Baby you should let me be here for you
