He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Flashing his cash and showing off his wealth,
Speaking so sweetly...
He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Flashing his cash and showing off his wealth,
Speaking so sweetly...
He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Whether you smile or glare at me,
Nothing is going to work here, mister!
Whether you smile or glare at me,
Nothing is going to work here, mister!
Seeing you, this young girl
Will never fall for you, truly!
Seeing you, this young girl
Will never fall for you, truly!
For your naughty antics and daydreams,
Go look for someone else, mister...
Hey... he is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Flashing his cash and showing off his wealth,
Speaking so sweetly...
He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Coming before me and hinting with your eyes,
Don't make flirtatious signals, my golden king!
Coming before me and hinting with your eyes,
Don't make flirtatious signals, my golden king!
Unless you shower me with gold,
You will never get this rose!
Unless you shower me with gold,
You will never get this rose!
My smile is unique and special;
Adorn me with new jewels, my dear...
Hey... he is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Flashing his cash and showing off his wealth,
Speaking so sweetly...
He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
At me, a green parrot you cannot catch,
Is it right to cast sly glances?
At me, a green parrot you cannot catch,
Is it right to cast sly glances?
Is it right to tease me,
Jewelry shop uncle, dear uncle?
Is it right to tease me,
Jewelry shop uncle?
Look at me, who could ever match me?
Why create trouble now? Come on...
Hey... he is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
Flashing his cash and showing off his wealth,
Speaking so sweetly...
He is calculating his moves,
Just calculating his moves!
