Lyrics

Hiya, honey, what you doin'?
I been hula-hoopin' waitin' for you
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Whoa, haters, fakers, mass manipulators
Don't know what you're tryin' to prove

I'm the New York City queen, queen
You should hear me sing, sing
Baby, I'm the real thing, check, one, two
Stop lookin' at my train wreck life
And start listenin' to the way I sing the blues

You know, I know what they say about me
I know that they think I'm danger
So what if it makes me happy, happy, happy?

It doesn't really matter what you say
'Cause I ain't gonna quit 'til the day I die

I'll be takin' drugs, doin' shots
Makin' out in parking lots with any little boy I spot
Baby, you can't stop me, stop me, no
When I'm hot, I'm hot

Hiya, honey, how's it goin'?
Saw you skippin' rope on TV lookin' blue
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
You're shakin', makin' music and you're famous
Deep down, you're the same girl I knew

She said "I know what they say about you,
I know that they think you're crazy.
I know that they all mistaken, baby, baby."

It doesn't really matter what they say
'Cause I ain't gonna quit 'til the day I die

I'll be takin' drugs, doin' shots
Makin' out in parking lots with any little boy I spot
Baby, you can't stop me, stop me, now
When I'm hot, I'm hot

Singing for the gangstas, chasin' all that paper
Livin' life so dangerously
And there's nothin' for my anger, money is my savior
I can be whatever I think

It's like heaven, heaven
Livin' on the edge of not knowin' where I'm goin' to be
And I'm dreadin' never settlin' down
That's when dyin' is beginning to please

It doesn't really matter what you say
'Cause I ain't gonna change 'til the day I die

I'll be takin' drugs, doin' shots
Makin' out in parking lots with any little boy I spot
Honey, you can't stop me, stop me, now
When I'm hot, I'm hot, hot

Ooh, ooh, oooh
When I'm hot, when I'm hot
Ah ah ah ah ah, ooh, ooh, woah-oh
When I'm hot, I'm hot
Ooh, ooh, oooh
When I'm hot, when I'm hot
Ah ah ah ah ah, ooh, ooh, woah-oh
