[Verse 1]
Barbarella
Mr. President
Your mission, find Duran Duran
Find Duran Duran
Just a minute, I'll slip something on

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

Can, can, can you hear me now
Htrae tenalp si siht

[Chorus 1]
I tell you somebody's fooling around
I tell you somebody's fooling around
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you somebody's fooling around

[Chorus 2]
Burning the ground
Burning the ground
Burning the ground
Burning the ground

[Chorus 3]
Girls

[Chorus 1]
I tell you somebody's fooling around
I tell you somebody's fooling around
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you somebody's fooling around

[Chorus 2]
Burning the ground
Burning the ground
Burning the ground
Burning the ground

[Bridge]
Why, why
Why, why, why
Why, why, why

Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
