Bonsoir mademoiselle
Good evening, miss
She recognize me, she say my name rings a bell
She recognizes me, she says my name rings a bell
Je ne sais plus, tu es la plus belle
I don't know anymore, you are the most beautiful
Don't sleep on me, I got dreams I'm tryna sell
Don't sleep on me, I got dreams I'm tryna sell
Racks in the bank and I got P's on me as well
Stacks in the bank and I got P's on me as well
Been an undercover lover like Usher, I need a girl
Been an undercover lover like Usher, I need a girl
Tryna leave the hood, jump on the jet, let's see the world, uh
Trying to leave the hood, jump on the jet, let's see the world, uh
Ouais, c'est vrai, j'ai un côté hippie
Yeah, it's true, I have a hippie side
Devant toi, j'suis gênée, timide
In front of you, I'm shy, timid
Un côté best, un petit peu chippie
A best side, a little bit cheeky
C'est ça, j'crois bien qu'il t'attire
That's it, I really think he attracts you
Oh, no, j'parle français, le reste du monde, j'm'en bats les reins
Oh, no, I speak French, the rest of the world, I don't care
On s'est rencontrés, on s'aimait, c'était pas l'plan
We met, we loved, it wasn't the plan
J'relis nos conversations, comment ça?
I'm rereading our conversations, how's that?
J'reconnais pas mon comportement
I don't recognize my behavior
Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé
Baby, just for me, my baby
Évite, s'te plaît, de m'afficher, s'te plaît
Please avoid showing me off, please
Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé
Baby, just for me, my baby
Il m'a dit "s'te plaît, il faut pas afficher"
He told me, 'please, don’t put it out there'
Yeah, baby girl, send me a flick one time
Yeah, baby girl, send me a flick one time
But don't send it if you're gonna post it online
But don't send it if you're gonna post it online
I told my bro, lower your gaze, he knows you're mine
I told my bro, lower your gaze, he knows you're mine
But still I know you're playing them games, you know you're fine
But still I know you're playing them games, you know you're fine
She's a freak, she's a flirt, Moelola skirt
She's a freak, she's a flirt, Moelola skirt
She knows her worth, she's a diamond in the dirt
She knows her worth, she's a diamond in the dirt
Real life baddie, you won't find her in a church
Real life baddie, you won't find her in a church
That's why I'm tryna press it like I'm ironing a shirt
That's why I'm tryna press it like I'm ironing a shirt
Tu parles anglais? (Est-ce que tu parles français?)
Do you speak English? (Do you speak French?)
Une petite pute and you looking prête à manger
A little hooker and you looking ready to feast
We could take it slow, we could play the long game
We could take it slow, we could play the long game
Just say the word and baby, I'm on the way
Just say the word and baby, I'm on the way
I'm always in Paris like I'm Pharrell
I'm always in Paris like I'm Pharrell
Said they saw me in Matignon with a couple of girls
Said they saw me in Matignon with a couple of girls
But tonight, I want nobody else
But tonight, I want nobody else
Think it's the way that you're talking got me under a spell
Think it's the way that you're talking got me under a spell
Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé
Baby, just for me, my baby
Évite, s'te plaît, de m'afficher, s'te plaît

Il m'a dit "s'te plaît, il faut pas afficher"
He told me, 'please, don't show off'
C'est eux contre nous, les autres en face sont K.O
It's them against us, the others in front are down for the count
Même si le monde est contre toi, je resterai ta go
Even if the world is against you, I'll still be your girl
C'est eux contre nous, les autres en face sont K.O
It's them against us, the others in front are down for the count
Même si le monde est contre toi, je resterai ta go
Even if the world is against you, I'll still be your girl
