She likes bars she likes diamonds too
She likes stars if they rendevouz
She drinks champagne to maintain her style
She likes a man only for a while
She likes access to your bank account
She likes dollars, pesos and british pounds
She likes money only in high amounts
Baby is cool she knows what counts

She likes to pay with credit cards
Ride expensive cars stays in the president suite
And every day she is looking for a man who gives her more
To satisfy her needs

She is a soulshaker, troublemaker
She is a heartbreaker
Undertaker, moneymaker
She is a lovefaker

Soulshaker, troublemaker
She is a heartbreaker
Undertaker, moneymaker
She is a lovefaker

Tricky, tricky, but she is pretty, pretty

I like holidays when there is nothing to do
I like fun for free and an ice cold brew
I like to watch football on tv
I like to sleep and wake up around three
I like to hang out with my boys, making lots of noise
Dancing in a club, there is no choice
She will never understand, that I can´t be her man 
I am what I am, so damn

She likes to pay with credit cards
Ride expensive cars stays in the president suite
And every day she is looking for a man who gives her more
To satisfy her needs

She is a soulshaker, troublemaker
She is a heartbreaker
Undertaker, moneymaker
She is a lovefaker

Soulshaker, troublemaker
She is a heartbreaker
Undertaker, moneymaker
She is a lovefaker

Tricky, tricky, but she is pretty, pretty
