Hootie Frutti Lyrics
Eu sei que tu gosta da fruta, mas essa é diferente
Hootie frutti
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hey, cutie, cutie
I see ya looking
'Cause when I walk in the party
They're like, "Who she?"
Carry my matcha
Mount Valley water
I like my mochi drenched in chocolata
Let's play some truth or dare
Tell me what time you on
You think I'm unaware
But I know what you want
You came for something rare
I'll put it on your tongue
I know you like that hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah)
Hootie frutti, hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hootie (Yeah)
I know you like that hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah)
Hootie frutti, hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hootie (Yeah)
I know you like that
Hootie frutti on your tongue
Hootie frutti all night long
Hootie frutti, if you want it, come and get it 'fore it's gone
Hootie frutti all the way
Hootie frutti every day
Hootie frutti like the twenty-dollar smoothies in LA
Hootie frutti
Nice and juicy
Yeah, you crave it, and you're not even a foodie
Let's play some truth or dare
Tell me what time you on
You think I'm unaware
But I know what you want
You came for something rare
I'll put it on your tongue
I know you like that hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah)
Hootie frutti, hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hootie (Yeah)
I know you like that hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah)
Hootie frutti, hootie frutti (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hootie (Yeah)
I know you like that
Fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
Hootie fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit
