[English]

Hello, hello, tell me somethin' that I don't know

This so-called game is miserable

Like, "Hmm?" With a question mark

Would he be gettin' off in the dark?

My drip-drip cost bags, bags

I don't even look at no price tag

My whip quick, cause whiplash

First time with me might be the last

Can't read my face, just call me Mona LISA

Mean what I say, boy, I ain't gonna tease ya

Blame it on a love gone wrong (yeah, yeah)

Get what I want, and I'm gone (yeah, yeah)

Ain't comin' back, I should warn ya

With a heart so cold, I'll give you ch-ch-chills (ooh-whoa-oh)

With a kiss so cold from the ice that's on my grill (ooh-whoa-oh)

If it ain't for fun, I'm runnin' for the hills, only want you for the thrills

Come on fast, it won't last, boy, you need to ch-ch-chill, ch-ch-chill (chill)

Come on fast, it won't last, boy, you need to ch-ch-chill

Slide, I don't wanna ruin your night

I'm like black i-i-ice, might lose control of your life

I'm the storm they warned you about, category four

Off the roof when you goin' down

Got you wantin' more, you better chill

Can't read my face, just call me Mona LISA

Mean what I say, boy, I ain't gonna tease ya

Blame it on a love gone wrong (yeah, yeah)

Get what I want, and I'm gone (yeah, yeah)

Ain't comin' back, I should warn ya

With a heart so cold, I'll give you ch-ch-chills (ooh-whoa-oh)

With a kiss so cold from the ice that's on my grill (ooh-whoa-oh)

If it ain't for fun, I'm runnin' for the hills, only want you for the thrills

Come on fast, it won't last, boy, you need to ch-ch-chill, ch-ch-chill (chill)

Come on fast, it won't last, boy, you need to ch-ch-chill

Get a taste before I go (oh-oh-oh)

Take a picture for the road (oh-oh-oh)

But I gotta let you know (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Don't get too close

You need to ch-ch-chill, ch-ch-chill (ooh-whoa-oh)

Come on fast, it won't last, boy, you need to ch-ch-chill, ch-ch-chill (ooh-whoa-oh)

Come on fast, it won't last, boy, you need to ch-ch-chill

Key Grammar Structures

• Hello, hello, tell me somethin' that I don't know

  ➔ Relative Clause (Defining)

  ➔ The clause "that I don't know" modifies "somethin'" (something), providing essential information about it. "that" is a relative pronoun.

• Would he be gettin' off in the dark?

  ➔ Modal Verb 'would' for speculation + Future Continuous tense

  ➔ "Would he be gettin' off" uses "would" to express speculation or a hypothetical situation in the future, and "be getting off" is the future continuous, describing an action in progress at a future time. "gettin'" is an informal spelling of "getting."

• I don't even look at no price tag

  ➔ Double Negative (Informal English)

  ➔ This is an informal construction where "don't" (not) and "no" (not any) are used together for emphasis, meaning "I don't look at any price tag at all." In formal English, it would be "I don't look at any price tag."

• Blame it on a love gone wrong

  ➔ Past Participle as an Adjective / Idiomatic expression 'gone wrong'

  ➔ "Gone wrong" is a past participle used here as an adjective phrase modifying "love," meaning a love that has failed or become problematic. It's a common idiom.

• If it ain't for fun, I'm runnin' for the hills, only want you for the thrills

  ➔ First Conditional (informal 'ain't') + Present Continuous for Future Plans + Idiomatic expression 'run for the hills'

  ➔ This sentence uses a first conditional structure ("If... then..."), but with the informal "ain't" instead of "isn't." "I'm runnin' for the hills" uses the present continuous tense to express a definite future plan or intention. "Run for the hills" is an idiom meaning to escape from danger or trouble. "runnin'" is an informal spelling of "running."

• I'm the storm they warned you about, category four

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause / Implied Relative Pronoun

  ➔ The phrase "they warned you about" is a relative clause that modifies "the storm." The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is omitted because it's the object of the preposition "about" and the clause is defining. (e.g., "the storm *that* they warned you about").

• Got you wantin' more, you better chill

  ➔ Causative verb 'get' + Present Participle + Idiomatic expression 'you better' (short for 'you had better')

  ➔ "Got you wantin' more" uses the causative verb "get" (here, informal "got" for "have got") followed by an object ("you") and a present participle ("wanting") to mean "caused you to want more." "You better" is an informal way of saying "you had better," which expresses strong advice or a warning. "wantin'" is an informal spelling of "wanting."

• But I gotta let you know

  ➔ Informal Contraction 'gotta' (from 'have got to' / 'have to') + Causative verb 'let'

  ➔ "Gotta" is an informal contraction of "have got to" or "have to," expressing obligation or necessity. "Let you know" is a causative construction where "let" means to permit or allow someone to do something (in this case, "to know").

• Don't get too close

  ➔ Negative Imperative + Adverb 'too' for excessive degree

  ➔ "Don't get" is a negative imperative, giving a command or warning. "Too close" uses the adverb "too" to indicate an excessive or undesirable degree of closeness.
