Have you seen that girl? Have you seen her? She’s the freakiest thing, you gotta meet her You do whatever it takes to get her by your side It’s not the way she smiles with a little laugh It’s not the way she looks in a photograph But all the boys they crowd around She can’t sing, she can’t dance But who cares she walks like Rihanna! 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 boom And all the boys they crowd around She can’t sing, she can’t dance But who cares she walks like Rihanna! She can’t sing, she can’t dance But who cares she walks like Rihanna! She walks like Rihanna! She walks like Rihanna! Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom (she walks like Rihanna!) She can’t sing, she can’t dance But who cares she walks like Rihanna! She can’t sing, she can’t dance But who cares she walks like Rihanna! She can’t sing, she can’t dance But who cares she walks like Rihanna! She walks like Rihanna! She walks like Rihanna! Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom Our hearts go boom boom boom boom boom (she walks like Rihanna!)
