The lyric вЂњAnd when she on the molly she a zombie,вЂќ for example, got swapped for вЂњAnd when she hear this song she dances crazy.вЂќ And rather than risk parentsвЂ™ having to answer questions from curious kids about the fraught relationship between Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, вЂњShe think we Clyde and Bonnie, but it's more like Whitney, BobbyвЂќ became вЂњShe thinks IвЂ™m like a party but sheвЂ™s really more a smarty.вЂќ (Meaning unclear.) 2.
