Pushing up right on it 'til them big boys cry
I do what I want, I do what I like
Keep this party rocking 'til the end of time
With a little ah, ah, ah
Just a little yeah, yeah, yeah
Little, little ooh, ooh, ooh
With a little ah, ah, ah

Little, little ooh, ooh, ooh
'Til them big boys cry
'Til them big boys cry
No one's gonna do it like I 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 the floor 'cause I'm coming on through

行く先々 bar, I be getting numbers
Yeah, it's like that

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

Wanna get, what I got, but I'm too damn hot
No, you can't touch that
