English Translation
I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keeping tally, I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talking all that shit, I’ll be getting mine, getting mine
Don’t ‘pologize for my behavior
If you’re offended, I don’t care (yeah)
Staring at me ‘stead of staring in the mirror
Little weird how
Everybody tells me to play nice
Everybody judge, but looking twice
But my body don’t belong to, nah-ah-ah, none of them though
And I’m not gonna change ’cause you say so
I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keeping tally, I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talking all that shit, I’ll be getting mine, getting mine
Yeah, I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keeping tally, I do what I want with who I like
And I ain’t gon’ conceal it
I’ll just do it like the boys say, I’m getting mine, getting mine
Told me to play it cool, I break the rules, I’m breaking hearts in two
Warned me to make the rules, or play the fool, it ain’t that hard to choose
Take apart the “do”‘s and “don’t”s, and lose the “won’t”s, I’m getting mine
Mines is mine, yours is mine, this is mine, get in line
Sometimes, I like to go play dirty
Just like all of the fuck boys do
That’s my choice and there’s no one I’m hurting
When that’s not girly
Everybody tells me to play nice
Everybody judge, but looking twice
But my body don’t belong to, nah-uh-uh, none of them though
And I’m not gonna change ’cause you say so
I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keeping tally, I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talking all that shit, I’ll be getting mine, getting mine
Yeah, I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keeping tally, I do what I want with who I like
And I ain’t gon’ conceal it
I’ll just do it like the boys say, I’m getting mine, getting mine
Yeah, I say “fuck it” when I feel it
And I ain’t gon’ conceal it
‘Cause no one’s keeping tally, I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talking all that shit, I’ll be getting mine, getting mine
Don’t ‘pologize for my behavior
If you’re offended, I don’t care (yeah)
Staring at me ‘stead of staring in the mirror
