Fashion, fashion, fashionista
Wanna be a fashionista
Fashion, fashion, fashionista
Wanna be a fashionista
Wanna be a fashionista

Feeling sassy, or am I looking glam?

I'm being artsy, but I'm always sweet
I'm looking cute, my look's complete

My style, your style, all girl
My tribe, your tribe, one world
My style, your style, all girl
My tribe, your tribe, one world
