Rude
Leo & Daniel Freitas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sync: @Cezarudlion

Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet, all the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man
Yeah, yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, "I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no! "
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human, too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Ela é maluca, é linda e sabe que é gostosa
Que me olha, me encara
É super poderosa
Ela sabe que leva qualquer homem pra cama
E só diz que ama pra tirar onda de bacana
Solteira, sozinha
Na pista pra negócio
Tá de boa, soltinha
Não tá querendo sócio
Ela é tipo de mulher independente
Que não pede carona e nunca vai dormir carente
Mas quando ela arma uma saída
Pega o telefone e liga pra umas cinco amigas
É tudo combinado lá no esquenta
Tudo preparado, isso aí vai dar problema
Se ela sozinha já é um perigo
Imagina com as amigas
Separa que é briga
Se ela solteira já é um perigo
Imagina com as amigas
Separa que é briga
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human, too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl




And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
