Lyrics[]

Yeah, brraa
Yeah

Hey, what are you hiding? (Watch)
What cha doing when you're gone? (Hey)
Nothing wrong being private (Watch)
Make sure it ain't wrong (Yeah)
Your life double-sided (Watch)
Two-faced like coins
What side do I get? (Watch)
What side are you on?

So what have you done? (Brraa)
Some of your dirt has come to light (Yeah)
Why were you speeding up that hill until the brakes come off? (Yeah, hey)
And someone saw you in a fight
Am I right?

It doesn't matter to you if you get heads or tails
You just don't like to flip all thе time
But if you spin it, then you get to see both sidеs
Oh, the thrill of the double life

Lie detector time (Watch)
Do you feel bad when you lie? (Watch)
The look on your face says the best life (Watch)
And then come home like it's fine, am I right? (Watch)

So what have you done?
Some of your dirt has come to light (Yeah, yeah)
Why were you speeding up that hill until the brakes come off? (Yeah, hey)
And someone saw you in a fight
Am I right? (Ah)

It doesn't matter to you if you get heads or tails
You just don't like to flip all the time
But if you spin it, then you get to see both sides
Oh, the thrill of the double life

Who will you be tonight?
That's the question (Brraa)
Who will Gru be tonight?
That's the question

I know you heard the rumors (Hey)
You must get over to it right away (Oh)
If anyone can do it
You gotta get there soon, it's not okay (Hey)
You got cars to drive, plenty jets to fly (Blah, blah)
When will you arrive? You're running out of time (Phew)
Don't you see that everything is on the line?
So, I'm sorry, but you have to choose a side

You'll never know when it's your time to go (Side, hey)
And where you end up in life, that's code (Side)
You can't ignore, you're spinning your life (Blah, blah, side)
Your watch is broken 'cause you spent all your time (Side)
It's now or never unless everything rides (Side)
Before the spinning stops, you must pick a side (Hey, brraa)

Who will you be tonight?
That's the question (Blah, blah)
Who will Gru be tonight?
That's the question (Phew)
Who will you be tonight? (Hey)
That's the question (Yeah)
Who will Gru be tonight? (Ayy)
That's the question

I know you heard the rumors (Hey)
You must get over to it right away (Oh)
If anyone can do it
You gotta get there soon, it's not okay

I know you heard the rumors (Hey)
