For Real
YAENNIVER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hah, mh, okay, okay
Ey, wie geht's?
Hm, schade, nur ein Bild auf deinem Profil
Hätt' gern mehr von dir gesehen, denn dein Katzenpulli hat Stil

Ey
Ey, ey, yo, slow down, wait a minute
Don't get too hard on me, Jenny (mhm)
Your DM got my interest, plus I love that you cook spaghetti

Erstens, nenn mich nicht Jenny, so nennt mich nur mein Omi
Zweitens, jetzt halt dich fest, ich kann auch Macaroni (aha)
Dann haben wir ja alles geklärt, lass uns einfach heiraten (wow)
Scheiß Autocorrect, ich mein', was würdest du zu 'nem Glas Wein sagen?

Jennifer, sorry about it
Sometimes I overstep boundaries (okay)
I'll just stay puffing some trees
Lookin' for love all around me
The wine got me a little curious
But you movin' too fast for me
It's likely too good to be serious
You could be a dude underneath

Ich frag' mich, was er wirklich von mir will
Or is she only in it for the thrill?
Baby, spielen wir hier das gleiche Spiel?
Are you for real? (Are you for real? Are you for real? Are you for)

Ich frag' mich, was er wirklich von mir will
Or is she only in it for the thrill?
Baby, spielen wir hier das gleiche Spiel?
Are you for real? (Are you for real? Are you for real? Are you for)

Ey, wenn du willst, kann ich alles sein, wenn es sein muss auch Manuel Neuer
All das nur für den Schein, der ist manchmal echt teuer
Du schreibst von Liebe, davon gibt's viele
Die für die Triebe, die für das Leben
Alle verschieden, ja, gehst du oder bleibst du?
Sag mir, welche meinst du?

Hold up
Oh, we gettin' deep, huh?
We gettin' real blunts
See, I love a cheese sub
I love a free lunch
I'm not into Jesus
Still I need a meat pho
But I need some real love to pick up the pieces
Wait
Who the fuck is Manuel Neuer?

Du stehst nicht auf Fußball?
Find' ich gut, ich mein': „Olé“
Denn normalerweise trifft man ja nur wandelnde Klischees (na-na)
Ich glaub', da könnt' was gehen
Die Weineinladung steht (wouh)
Schick mir noch 'n Pic, wo ich 'n bisschen mehr von dir seh', ja

Okay, hm
Aha, 'kay, yeah
Oh
Digga, dein Ernst?
Okay
What?
You don't like it?
What? Eh, you, like you not gonna answer anymore?
Are you not there? Hello?
Yo, Jennifer, seriously?

Ich frag' mich, was er wirklich von mir will
Or is she only in it for the thrill?
Baby, spielen wir hier das gleiche Spiel?
Are you for real? (Are you for real? Are you for real? Are you for)

Ich frag' mich, was er wirklich von mir will
Or is she only in it for the thrill?
Baby, spielen wir hier das gleiche Spiel?
Are you for real? (Are you for real? Are you for real? Are you for)

Hah, hey, wie geht's?




Voll schön, was du schreibst auf deinem Profil
Mit Sweatpants in die Oper, ich finde, das hat echt Stil
