“Walks Like Rihanna”
By The Wanted
Have you seen that girl
Have you seen her
She’s the freakiest thing
You gotta need her
You do whatever it takes
To get her by your side
It’s not the way she smiles
With her little laugh
It’s not the way she looks
In a photograph
But all the boys they crowd around
Chorus
She can’t sing
She can’t dance but who cares
She walks like Rihanna
Have you seen that girl
Have you seen her
With the way she moves
You wanna kiss her
She’ll be the girl of your dreams
If you can close your eyes
You can feel that beat
When she’s in the room
You can feel your heart going boom
And all the boys they crowd around
(Chorus)
