Havana, ooh na-na (ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na, ah
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
There's somethin' 'bout his manners (uh-huh)
Havana, ooh-na-na (uh)
He didn't walk up with that "how you doin'?" (uh)
When he came in the room
He said there's a lot of girls I can do with (uh)
But I can't without you
I knew him forever in a minute (hey)
That summer night in June
And papa says he got malo in him (uh)
He got me feelin' like...
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ayy)
I knew it when I met him (ayy), I loved him when I left him
Got me feelin' like, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And then I had to tell him, I had to go
Oh-na-na-na-na-na (woo)
Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na (uh huh)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh-na-na
Jeffery, just graduated, fresh on campus, mmm
Fresh out East Atlanta with no manners, damn (fresh out East Atlanta)
Bump on her bumper like a traffic jam
Hey, I was quick to pay that girl like Uncle Sam (here you go, ayy)
Back it on me (back it up)
Shawty cravin' on me, get to eatin' on me (on me)
She waited on me (then what?)
Shawty cakin' on me, got the bacon on me (wait up)
This is history in the makin', on me (on me)
Point blank, close range, that B
If it cost a million, that's me (that's me)
I was gettin' mula, baby
Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, ayy, ayy)
He took me back (uh huh) to East Atlanta, na-na-na (oh, no)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)

Oh, na-na-na (no, no, no, take me back)
Oh, na-na-na
Havana, ooh-na-na
YES. CAMILA IS REALLY KILLING IT RIGHT NOW LIKE LIVING LEGEND LADY GAGA.
'Havana' has now spent an incredible seven weeks as the second biggest song in the US. Only Post Malone's 'rockstar' and Ed Sheeran's 'Perfect' have managed to keep Camila from making it up to the top spot and scoring her first US Number 1 single.
That being said, with Camila out, 'Havana' is predicted to rise up to Number 1 next week.
Still, even if it doesn't, the achievement of being Number 2 for seven weeks is still huge. 'Bad Romance' was kept from being Number 1 by Kesha's 'Tik Tok' and JAY-Z and Alicia Key's 'Empire State of Mind' and yet it's still sold more than both songs.
Since its 2009 release, the Lady Gaga classic has been certified 11x Platinum in the US.
Considering 'Havana''s current popularity, it could go on to sell just as much, if not more.
Nevertheless, we've got our fingers crossed that Camila gets that US Number 1.
If anyone deserves it, it's her. 'Havana' was a huge UK Number 1 for a reason.
