That's the stuff you gotta watch
That's the stuff you gotta watch
That's the stuff you gotta watch
If you don't wanna lose your girl

Well, that's the stuff you gotta watch
If you don't wanna lose your girl
Yeah, that's the stuff you gotta watch
If you don't wanna lose your girl
Well, that's the stuff you gotta watch
If you don't wanna lose your girl
