[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1]
Hey, I don't like you, right here
Hey, what to do now? I don't like it
[Chorus 1]
I'll be there for you tonight
Even your and I'll try
You don’t deserve to be treated that way
[Verse 2]
What was the problem with your childhood?
No one would care for you like I will
[Chorus 2]
They never try to love you
I'll place no one above you
Here comes the right boy and I'll play
[Chorus]
I wanna be in your lottery
I wanna be in your lottery
I wanna be in your lottery
I wanna be in your lottery
[Break]
[Chorus]
I wanna be in your lottery
I wanna be in your lottery
