Just the kind of cocky lyrics you’d want to hear when you’re being a d-floor superstar
You can’t help all the feelings, you been feeling about me, about me, about me/Every man that I’m seeing, ends up being so in love, so in love/Take one look at my body and you keep on coming, I know what you want/Take one look at my body and you keep on coming, I know what you want/I’m a heart breaker, a Love taker/I’m a heart breaker, don’t go falling in Love/Don’t go falling in Love
