View the lyrics
Her name is Lara, we learned a lot, ah
How to do it, like we do it, like we wanna
We just know, we just know
I ain't one-sided, I'm open-minded
I'm fifty-fifty and I'm never gonna hide it
You should know, you should know, ayy

All summer, we've been in the 'Bu
'68 Chevy with nothing to do
In the summer haze, kush lovin'
And last night, yeah, we got with the dude
I saw him, he was looking at you
So I said, "Hey", kush lovin'

Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls (yeah)

You know I tamed it, and then I named it
I put the lion in the cage and then I laid with her all night (all night)
Her all night, yeah
I'm the hunter and she the prey, yeah
I'm the thriller, and the killer, and the saviour
Up all night, we up all night, yeah (do it one more time)

All summer, we've been in the 'Bu
'68 Chevy with nothing to do (oh)
In the summer haze, kush lovin'

Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
(You know that I do)
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
Mmm, we can go up
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
(Rita, look, Cardi)

Now I could be your lipstick just for one night (one night)
Girls just wanna have fun and have their funds right (yeah)
I mean, say my name, say my name, say my name (say my name)
It tastes good, just rolling off your tongue, right? (hurr)
I put this Mac on your lips, so pucker up (mwah)
We ain't never heard of you 'cause you ain't done enough (no)
And I don't gotta introduce myself (Cardi)
I'm too sexy, I seduce myself (Bardi)
Seven-figure, never need a n- (nope)
I steal your chic, have her down with the scissor
Tonight, I don't want a dog, I want a kitten
I might French a girl from Great Britain

Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls (oh, yeah)
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls (uh, yeah)
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls (red wine, red wine)
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (down with me, yeah)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (down with me, yeah-eah)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (down with me, yeah)
She likes what she likes (aha)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (yeah)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

Rita said of the new album PHOENIX:

“One of the most liberating feelings for me is performing and creating music. This album is a true labour of love, and it was important for me to do it my way.  I’m so appreciative of the love and support from those who worked with me on the record and allowed me create something I’m really proud of. They gave me the space and freedom to create something from my heart. Both challenging and euphoric at times. I am really proud of and grateful for the journey that the making of Phoenix has taken me on. To my fans, thank you for your patience and thank you always for listening.”
