Lo-lo-love me like
Love me like
Lo-lo-love

Listen to me now my heart is screamin' out
I'm tryna show you how to touch me
I'm not just a girl, I'm more precious than pearls
And I deserve all you got babe

So if you're gonna hold me
Baby don't let go of me
Give me all you got I want everything
My heart is a treasure one that can't be measured
Let me show you how to love me

Love me like money love me like cars
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are
Love me all close love me from afar
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are
Love me like money love me like cars
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are
Hold me like diamonds and treat me like a star
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are

Stop listening to your friends
They just want your man
Misery loves a little company
Don't feed until them lies, want you by my side
Why is it so hard to trust me?
Let go of your fears girl, promise I'll be here girl
I wont let your heart skip a beat
I'll take care of you and you take care of me girl
Won't ever leave you lonely

Love you like money love you like cars
Love you babe love you babe wherever you are
Love you all close love you from afar
Love you babe love you babe wherever you are
Love you like money love you like cars
Love you babe love you babe wherever you are
Hold you like diamonds and treat you like a star
Love you babe love you babe wherever you are

Before I will do something
Seen a little sunshine seen a little rain
My heart's been through some pain
And I don't wanna go back to the little game
So I'm letting you know up-front
If you plan on being the one, listen to my instructions
'Cause I'ma teach you how to (love you like love you like)
Under the bills, brand new wheels (love me like love me like)
Fresh new hair-cut baby I need you to (love you like love you like)
New turn kicks bikes under risk (love me like love me like)

Love me like money love me like cars
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are
Love me all close love me from afar
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are
Love me like money love me like cars
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are
Hold me like diamonds and treat me like a star
Love me babe love me babe wherever you are

Love me babe love me babe (wherever you are)
Love me babe love me babe (wherever you are)
Love me babe love me babe (wherever you are)





Love me babe

People saying this was too "international" and got away from their K-pop roots. Fast forward to 2020 and most songs in K-pop sound very similar to this. Wonder Girls were ahead of their time!

@pelesync4851

Right! And they don't realise that this was the point of the song, so it could reach the international market.

@8makes1kingateez45

yaa

@abeurakadabeura

I have to disagree with you.
If you listen to most of the music that are famous in Korea, they are not autotuned like this.
Like every 10 min I could hear either "shampoo scent in the flowers", "Gaho - Start" (from Itaewon class) or "IU - Eight" when I was walking on the street in Korea.

@thelastromeo4848

so true

@decembervevlewt1543

Yeah this sound is like 2020ish kpop now.hehe
