Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hallelujah, I'm a freak, I'm a freak, hallelujah

Every day of the week, I'ma do ya like I want to

I'm a Nile crocodile, a piranha

[Verse 2]

Oh my God, she got the power

Look at her, she got the power

So, so, so

[Verse 3]

Don't fuck with my freedom

I came up to get me some

I'm nasty, I'm evil

Must be something in the water or that I'm my mother's daughter

Don't fuck with my freedom

I came up to get me some

I'm nasty, I'm evil

Must be something in the water or that I'm my mother's daughter

[Verse 4]

So back up, back up, back up, back up, boy, ooh

Back up, back up, back up, back up, boy, ooh

[Verse 5]

Hallelujah, I'm a witch, I'm a witch, hallelujah

Swish swish, I'm a three-point shooter, I blow through ya

Like a hot wind out in the bayou, yeah

[Verse 6]

Oh my God, she got the power

Look at her, she got the power

[Verse 7]

Don't fuck with my freedom

I came up to get me some

I'm nasty, I'm evil

Must be something in the water or that I'm my mother's daughter

Don't fuck with my freedom

I came up to get me some

I'm nasty, I'm evil

Must be something in the water or that I'm my mother's daughter

[Verse 8]

So back up, back up, back up, back up, boy, ooh

Back up, back up, back up, back up, boy, ooh

Back up, back up, back up, back up, boy, ooh

Back up, back up, back up, back up, boy, ooh

[Verse 9]

My mama always told me that I'd make it

That I'd make it, so I made it

I put my back into and my heart in it

So I did it, yeah, I did it

Anitta (My mama always told me that I'd make it)

(That I'd make it, so I made it)

I put my back into (And my heart in it) Eae, Brasil?

(So I did it, yeah, I did it)

[Verse 10]

Sometimes I call you when I can't sleep alone

Now you keep asking me what that means, oh no

In your feelings, I can feel it

You're in your feelings, you won't admit it but

That's why I push you away from me

'Cause I know, I know

[Verse 11]

It drives you crazy, try to tame me

But nobody's taking control over me

Vambora, São Paulo

[Verse 12]

Ooh, baby, baby, you be talkin' tough

But your boys can't get enough

When the girls don't need your love

Who says boys don't cry?

Ooh, baby, baby, you just outta touch

'Cause your boys can't get enough

When the girls don't need your love

Who says boys don't cry?

[Verse 13]

Sometimes you call me when you're too drunk, oh god

Then you start telling me I'm the one, I'm not

(Come on) In your feelings, I can feel it

You're in your feelings, you won't admit it but

I thought that we were just having fun

'Cause I know, I know

[Verse 14]

It drives you crazy, try to tame me

But nobody's taking control all over me

[Verse 15]

Ooh, baby, baby, you just outta touch

But your boys can't get enough

When the girls don't need your love

Who says boys don't cry?

Ooh, baby, baby, you just outta touch

'Cause your boys can't get enough

When the girls don't need your love

Who says boys don't cry?

[Verse 16]

Who says they don't cry?

Who says they don't cry?

Who says they don't cry?

Who says boys don't cry?

Who says they don't cry?

Who says they don't cry?

Who says they don't cry?

Who says boys don't cry?
