Lyrics & Translation

[English]

So when, exactly, did you swipe my makeup?

While you were at bowling league.

You don't have a key to this house.

How'd you get in?

Can't tell you that.

I might need to do it again.

Unbelievable.

And for future reference, go lighter on the blush,

or you'll end up looking like Raggedy Ann.

She got Raggedy Andy looking like that.

He's her brother. Oh.

I've been playing with those dolls all wrong.

All right, that'll do it.

How old was Mom when you let her wear makeup?

I don't know, I didn't really have rules like that.

See? How come you're so cool and she's such a dud?

Well, I wouldn't call her a dud.

What would you call her?

Point is, she wasn't always like that.

What was she like?

When she was a teenager, she was just wild.

Really? (laughing): Oh, yeah.

She used to wait until I went to sleep

and then she would sneak out

and get into trouble with her friends.

My mom? Your mom.

And then she would climb up the tree

on the side of the house and sneak back in.

Amazing.

Is that how you're getting in?

I will never tell you that.

(laughing)

Everything okay?

I'm getting tired of being the bad guy around here.

You're not the bad guy.

(stammers) Kids need boundaries.

That is easy

for you to say. I am the only one doing it,

and then everyone resents me for it.

Hey, you're not the only one.

Just today, Georgie and Sheldon were fighting,

and I totally took care of it.

Really? What was going on?

They... you know, boy stuff.

I...

Don't worry. I got your back.

Thank you. That means a lot.

Teamwork, babe.

Look, right...

here.

That's my mom? (chuckles)

Yep, the little queen of darkness.

Is she smoking a cigarette?

Yep. Probably stole it from me.

When did she stop being cool?

Well, first of all, smoking is not cool.

You do it. Yeah, well, next time

I'm hocking up some black goo out of my lung,

I'll call you over and you can see how cool it is.

Awesome. It is not awesome.

And as far as your mom, I think things started

to turn around for her when she gave birth to you.

You mean me and Sheldon.

No, I mean you.

I mean, Sheldon was born fine, but you were a different story.

Why?

Okay.

Well, there was a point where the doctors didn't know

if you were gonna make it.

And your mom got so scared, and she made a promise to God

that if you were okay, that she would start reading

the Bible, going to church...

you know, that kind of stuff.

So I'm the reason she's a dud?

Your takeaway should be

that you are the reason she's such a good mom, which she is.

And the next time you hurt her feelings--

which you will--

you might remember how much you mean to her.

Now I feel bad.

Good.

Key Grammar Structures

• So when, exactly, did you swipe my makeup?

  ➔ Past Simple (question form)

  ➔ The auxiliary "did" is placed before the subject to form a past‑simple question: "did you swipe...".

• You don't have a key to this house.

  ➔ Present Simple negative

  ➔ The auxiliary "do" + "not" (contracted to "don't") creates a negative present‑simple statement: "You don't have...".

• How'd you get in?

  ➔ Past Simple question with contraction

  ➔ The contraction "How'd" stands for "how did"; it places the auxiliary "did" before the subject in a past‑simple question.

• I might need to do it again.

  ➔ Modal verb "might" + infinitive (possibility)

  ➔ The modal "might" expresses a low degree of certainty and is followed by the base form of the verb: "might need".

• She used to wait until I went to sleep and then she would sneak out.

  ➔ "used to" for past habit & "would" for repeated past action

  ➔ "Used to" describes a habit that no longer exists; "would" (in this context) also shows a repeated past action: "she would sneak out".

• I will never tell you that.

  ➔ Future Simple with "will" + adverb of frequency

  ➔ "Will" marks a simple future prediction; the adverb "never" intensifies the negation: "I will never tell...".

• What was going on?

  ➔ Past Continuous question

  ➔ "Was" + verb‑ing forms the past continuous, used here to ask about an ongoing situation in the past: "What was going on?".

• You are the only one doing it.

  ➔ Present Continuous for ongoing action

  ➔ "Are" + verb‑ing ("doing") shows an activity happening right now: "You are doing it".

• If you were okay, she would start reading the Bible.

  ➔ Second conditional (if + past simple, would + base verb)

  ➔ "If" clause uses the past simple "were" to talk about an unreal present situation; the main clause uses "would" + verb to show the likely result.
