Lyrics & Translation

[English]

...

We want to get to this date that you went on

with this conservative Republican.

Doug [? Heye ?] is his name.

OK.

Let's talk about that.

How did that work out for you?

Well, it was for the show.

I like him a lot, actually.

You know, he's a Politico, he goes

on a lot of-- he's a correspondent.

He knows all sorts of people.

And it was interesting.

I liked him.

But it were some things that didn't make the cut,

you know because we shoot and shoot and shoot.

He said Republicans, they voice how

they feel about this administration, how they

feel about what's going on.

But they don't say it out loud, but behind closed doors

they do.

It in some way that was solace, and in some way

it was like, well, that's not brave.

Yeah.

That doesn't help us.

To say it behind-- yeah.

But I liked him.

He was nice.

Yeah.

But you're not going to continue dating him?

So what are you looking for?

What qualities in a man?

Seriously.

I've really thought about this.

First of all, I like a masculine man,

but he has to be a feminist.

And that contrast is very hot to me.

Like Andy Murray.

Oh, my god.

Like Andy Murray, yes.

OK.

...

I mean, he's a little young for me, though.

I want someone age appropriate, like people

keep trying to fix me up with men much younger than me,

and I know it's flattering to go,

you can go out with someone younger than you.

I don't want--

I think that's lovely for people.

I don't want that.

I want someone that can commiserate with the aches

and pains of our age.

Yes, I understand.

I really do.

All right, we're going to try to narrow it down.

We're going to go to Tindr live.

You're going to just say swipe right if you like the person,

and does and left if you don't.

All right.

Let me just say one last thing.

Oral hygiene.

Yeah, well that goes without saying.

Right?

Yeah.

Oh, and kind.

Yeah.

And that goes without saying.

All right let's see the first.

Gosh.

Person and you'll swipe right or left.

You know, I mean--

Just right or left, that's all.

Say it.

Well, left.

He's gorgeous, he's amazing.

He's a little he's young for my life, and he's an actor.

All right.

I adore him.

All right Michael B. Jordan.

Again, too young.

All right, left.

Colin Farrell.

Is he sober?

Yes.

Yes he's been sober a long time.

He's been sober like 12 years or something.

Possibly.

He's very funny, and he's very smart.

Can we do like an up or a down?

No let's keep him on the whole.

Let's swipe right.

We'll keep him on the right, I'm really not.

All right.

Alexander Skarsgard?

Very hot, very-- they're all actor-- well,

they're going to all be actors.

Yeah.

I guess let's go right.

OK.

Yeah we got to keep some people around.

...

I'll go left.

But he is great.

I mean they're all incredible.

Oh, Drake is--

I have-- go right for Drake.

He's too young.

But we do have a special relationship.

Everyone's going to go right for Drake.

Oh, he's not really my type, but I love his online presence.

Right.

Jon Hamm.

Hammbone!

I mean, right in that I love him, but he's my brother.

So I would left.

He's my brother.

But right.

OK.

...

He's amazing, but left.

OK.

...

Also lovely, left though.

I'm not, I don't--

Keanu Reeves.

...

Right-- he looks like he could lift me, which I appreciate.

OK.

You need someone strong.

OK right, but let's see-- you want there-- he can lift you.

Right.

OK right.

I mean, I'm worried that he juices.

Well you can ask him that on a date.

But I do find him very attractive,

I love his [INAUDIBLE].

Jared Leto could not lift you.

So you're going to say left.

He's beautiful, but no.

Good hygiene, too.

All right left.

Really?

Yeah, very good.

Taye Diggs.

Oh my god.

I love Taye Diggs, but I'm going to go left, just because I'm

an Idina Menzel girl.

All right.

Spade is like we're like related.

I love him, but left.

Left.

Nothing against him.

Oh my god, Jack Pearson.

He's too young.

Too young?

Yeah, I love Jack Pearson.

All right.

Michael Che.

Have you ever met him?

Yes.

I adore him.

I have a crush on him.

Come on.

He is sexual.

I mean I find him--

I'm putting that on him.

Yes.

He's not giving that out to me at all.

But when I look at him, I think oh.

I see him as a sexual being.

I don't see many men as a sexual being, but I would go right.

Yeah, go right for him.

Too young, but yeah whatever.

Oh, he's age appropriate.

I've thought about him.

Oh.

But then when Sterling K. Brown did him on Saturday Night Life,

it was so funny, and I think I have to go left.

OK, Left on Common.

And OK, so let's see what's left.

All right so we have--

Oh my god.

I think I know who you're going to go with, I think.

This is crazy I'm going to either go--

...

The four on--

Che is a comedian, and that can get sticky.

I'll go either Cena or Drake.

Wow, that surprised me.

Really?

Yeah, that did.

What's wrong with Che being a comedian?

You know--

Competitive?

I just-- I'm not competitive, but you know sometimes

it's hard for me--

they don't-- you shouldn't have to compare yourself to me.

I'm me.

Yeah.

All right.

That sounded obnoxious, but I meant it to be funny.

So--

Where were you?

Which one is it?

You have to make a choice.

Why, are you going to make this happen?

Well, one of them is back there.

That's not true.

...

I did that to the audience.

That was mean.

That was horrible.

That was so mean.

Drake has often showed me love, and one time he hugged me,

and it felt like home.

But that like ad that John Cena does about like love

is love, like made me feel my body.

...

What did I mean by that?

I'm not sure.

I felt a mind, body connection.

All right.

Either one.

All right, either one.

Let's-- well, the next time you're here we'll have both,

and then you can decide when they're here.

You're a liar!

I am.

New episodes of "I Love You America"

• First of all, I like a masculine man, but he has to be a feminist.

  ➔ Contrastive conjunction 'but' & Abstract noun usage
