Ask & You Shall Receive – English Lyrics

• By: Rita Ora

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language can be an exciting journey, and pop music is a fantastic tool to make it fun. Rita Ora's "Ask & You Shall Receive" is a great example of modern, conversational English in a catchy, upbeat song. The lyrics are straightforward and repetitive, making it easier to pick up new phrases related to expressing feelings and desires. This song is special because it's a collaboration between two major UK pop artists, Rita Ora and Raye, and its confident, carpe-diem message is universally empowering.

[English]

I got this feeling that's refreshing my life

I don’t want it to end

Ah yeah

I met this man

I think about him all night

As more than just a friend

Ah yeah

When you smile I feel like I earned that

And my cheeks pull back to return that

Oh in life I know there’s no guarantees

Before I talk to you I rehearse it

I can’t fuck this up it ain’t worth it

Oh come and lay your love on me

All I want

All that I want

Is your body

Since it’s been so long

Ever so long

Since I let a man hold me

Now I see

I ain’t gone leave

Baby what you want from me

Ask and you shall receive

All I want

All that I want

Is your body

Since it’s been so long

Ever so long

Since I let a man hold me

Now I see

I ain’t gone leave

Baby what you want from me

Ask and you shall receive

See everybody that I love in this life

Can see that I’m alive

Oh and I hope we stand the test of these time

Though t&c’s apply

When you smile I feel like I earned that

And my cheeks pull back to return that

Oh in life I know there’s no guarantees

Before I talk to you I rehearse it

I can’t fuck this up it ain’t worth it

Oh come and lay your love on me

All I want

All that I want

Is your body since it's been so long

Ever so long

Since I let a man hold me

Now I see

I ain’t gone leave

Baby what you want from me

Ask and you shall receive

All I want

All that I want

Is your body since it’s been so long

Ever so long

Since I let a man hold me

Now I see

I ain’t gone leave

Baby what you want from me

Ask and you shall receive

I put every other man on ice

Raised my price

He don’t have to tell me twice

Don’t wanna roll no dice

I want this man at my side

Right hand grip on my thighs

You look at me with those eyes

And I fall to my knees

Ask and you shall receive

All I want

All that I want

Is your body

Since it’s been so long

Ever so long

Since I let a man hold me

Now I see

I ain’t gone leave

Tell me what you want from me

Ask and you shall receive

All I want

All that I want

Is your body

Since it's been so long

Ever so long

Since I let a man hold me

Now I see

I ain’t gone leave

Baby what you want from me

Ask and you shall receive

All I wanted

All I want yea

All I wanted

All i need

Hold me longer, yours forever

Ask and you shall receive
