Lyrics & Translation

[English]

when you had a busy day at work and

couldn't finish

everything but it's time to go home

what do you say

hey hey i want to order something for

dinner

what do you want um i'm okay with

anything get what you want

how about fried chicken yeah that sounds

good

when do you finish work i'll order it

then

what do you say

i get off work soon you can order it now

[Music]

what do you say i think i'm going to get

off work late

you eat first a

or b what's your choice

when you're going to finish your work

for the day and go home

say i get off work soon

i get off work soon to get off work

means to finish working so this

expression means

you will finish your work soon if you

want to say what

time you finish working you can say

i get off work at time

i get off work at five o'clock one final

different way to say this is

i'm heading home i'm heading home

head is a verb that means to go in some

direction so you are going home

that means you finished your work for

the day

[Music]

when you think you will need to stay

later at work

you can say i think i'm going to get off

work late

i think i'm going to get off work late

this expression

also uses to get off work

so if you add the word late it means

that you think you're going to finish

later than you normally do you can take

out

i think if you know you will work late

i'm going to get off work late you can

also say

i have to stay late at work

i have to stay late at work again

this means that you are working later

than you normally do

you are staying past the finishing time

finally use this expression i

have to work overtime i have to work

overtime

this means you are going to work more

hours than you have to

so the next time you couldn't finish

everything at work

but it's time to go home what will you

say

let me know in the comments until next

time

learn more expressions to use in these

situations

on cake
