Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the girls, stomp your feet like this
All the girls, stomp your feet like this
All the girls, stomp your feet like this
Few times, I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'Cause I ain't no Hollaback Girl
Few times, I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'Cause I ain't no Hollaback Girl
I ain't no Hollaback Girl
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
I'ma love you like a fool
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
I'ma love you like a fool
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
I'ma love you like a fool
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
I'ma love you like a fool
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
Oh, how you shine
Breathe you in 'til I hallucinate
