BLACKPINK in your area

BLACKPINK in your area

Been a bad girl, I know I am

And I'm so hot, I need a fan

I don't want a boy, I need a man

Click-clack, badda bing, badda boom

All eyes on me when I step in the room

You don't know? Better ask somebody

Watch your man hit the deck like bam bam bam

Bam bam para para bam bam bam

Raise your glass to the roof like cheers cheers cheers

Hands up! Lit with a bottle full of Henny

Watch your mouth when you speak my name, Jennie

Like the light dancing with me

Black to the pink, special anytime

Oh, yes, even if I'm stared at, I wanna dance

Like tra la la la tra la la la twirly pow

Let's rise all night, wow

Don't stop, the sign of this love

This is bad, I feel like falling in love, you know I want to dance with you

Whip it up, whip it up, baby, that Lambo'

Dropping the top, I be too hard to (handle)

Stopping my paper? Go brrrr, rambo

Put your hands on my waist

Front to my back, perfect style

Oh, yes, with your gaze, I know you wanna touch

Beyond that sky, how far should we go

Ignore the goal, just fly away

Beyond that sky, how far should we go

Ignore the goal, just fly away

Key Grammar Structures

• I don't want a boy, I need a man

  ➔ Parallel coordinate clauses (contrast without a conjunction)

  ➔ The speaker uses two parallel clauses: "I "don't" want a boy" and "I "need" a man" to show a contrast.

• Watch your man hit the deck like 팡팡팡

  ➔ Imperative sentence + idiomatic verb phrase

  ➔ "Watch" is a command, and "hit the deck" is an idiom meaning “fall down”. The onomatopoeic "팡팡팡" mimics a sound effect.

• Raise your glass to the roof like 짠짠짠

  ➔ Imperative verb + prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Raise" is a command. The phrase "to the roof" is a prepositional phrase indicating direction.

• I'ma take what's mine, so get out my way

  ➔ "I'ma" (colloquial "I am going to") + cause‑effect with "so"

  ➔ "I'ma" contracts "I am going to". "so" introduces the result clause "get out my way".

• Ain't got time, I go hard and slay

  ➔ Negative contraction "ain't" + simple present for habitual action

  ➔ "Ain't" replaces "am not/are not" in informal speech. "go hard and slay" uses the simple present to describe a regular attitude.

• Dropping the top, I be too hard to (handle)

  ➔ Present participle clause + copular "be" in non‑standard form

  ➔ "Dropping the top" is a participial phrase acting as an adverbial modifier. "I be too hard" uses the colloquial "be" instead of "am".

• Let's go (ooh), let's go (ooh)

  ➔ First‑person plural imperative with contraction "let's"

  ➔ "Let's" = "let us". The speaker invites the listener(s) to act together: "go".

• 今夜 身を委ねて踊ろう

  ➔ て‑form + volitional 「～よう」 to express an invitation

  ➔ "身を委ねて" is a て‑form linking clause, and "踊ろう" is the volitional form meaning “let's dance”.

• ゴールなんて無視 トバすだけよ

  ➔ Particle "なんて" to dismiss, "だけ" to limit, sentence‑ending particle "よ" for emphasis

  ➔ "ゴールなんて" downplays the goal, "無視" means “ignore”, "トバすだけ" = “just jump”, and "よ" adds confidence.
