Pushing up right on it 'till them big boys cry
I do what I want, I do what I like
Keep this party rocking 'till the end of time
Just a little ah, ah, ah
Just a little yeah, yeah, yeah
Little little ooh, ooh, ooh
'Til them big boys cry
Just a little yeah, yeah, yeah
Little little ooh, ooh, ooh
'Til them big boys cry
(Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry)
'Til them big boys cry
No one's gonna do it like you do
'Cause 女はいつでも 愛嬌
But そんなの気にせず shaking my - ha
Yeah I'm like that
You better clear out the floor
'Cause I'm coming on through, yeah
今夜の気分は naughty
行く先々 bar
I be getting numbers
Yeah it's like that
I do what I want, I do what I like
Pushing up right on it 'till them big boys cry
I do what I want, I do what I like
Keep this party rocking 'till the end of time

'Til them big boys cry
Everybody is mine 'cause I look too fine
足下 気をつけて tipsy
皆 すかさず check
When I twist my neck
It's just a fact
Fellas got stars in they're eyes (Eyes)
とにかく 投げてみな dice (Dice)
Wanna get what I got
But I'm too damn hot
No you can't touch that
I do what I want, I do what I like
Pushing up right on it 'till them big boys cry
I do what I want, I do what I like
Keep this party rocking 'till the end of time
Just a little yeah, yeah, yeah
Little little ooh, ooh, ooh
'Til them big boys cry
Just a little (Oh, shit baby)
Just a little yeah, yeah, yeah
Little little ooh, ooh, ooh
'Til them big boys cry
Make the big boys cry
Make them big boys cry
Make them big boys cry
Make them big... big boys cry
Make them big... big boys cry
Make them big... big boys cry
Make them big... big boys cry
I do what I want, I do what I like
Pushing up right on it 'till them big boys cry
I do what I want, I do what I like
Keep this party rocking 'till the end of time
