[English]

Ooh, ooh-oh-oh

...

(Yeah)

What you thinking?

You think that you could be better off with somebody new

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

You say you're leaving

Well, if you wanna leave, there ain't nobody stopping you

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

I won't beg for your love

Won't say, please

I won't fall to the ground on my knees

You know I've given this everything

Baby, honestly, baby, honestly

I lied for you, baby

I'd die for you, baby

I've cried for you, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

For you, baby, and only you, baby

The things I do, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

I never cheated

Deleted everyone 'cause they made you uncomfortable

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

These accusations

I can't apologize for something that I didn't do

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

I won't beg for your love

Won't say, please (Oh no, I won't say, please)

I won't fall to the ground on my knees (On my knees)

You know I've given this everything (Oh, oh)

Baby honestly, (Baby honestly), baby honestly (Whoa)

I lied for you, baby

I'd die for you, baby

I've cried for you, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

For you, baby, and only you, baby

The things I do, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

(Tell me what you've done for me)

Oh, tell me what you've done for me

(Oh, tell me what you've done for me)

Oh, tell me what you've done for me

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You know I've given this everything

Baby, honestly

Tell me what you've done for me

I lied for you, baby

I'd die for you, baby

I've cried for you, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

For you, baby, and only you, baby (Oh)

The things I do, baby (But tell me)

But tell me what you've done for me

(Tell me what you've done for me)

Oh, tell me what you've done for me

(Oh, tell me what you've done for me)

Oh, tell me what you've done for me

Key Grammar Structures

• You think that you could be better off with somebody new

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' for possibility

  ➔ The modal "could" shows a hypothetical possibility: you could be better off.

• Well, if you wanna leave, there ain't nobody stopping you

  ➔ First conditional with 'if' + present simple; colloquial negative 'ain't'

  ➔ The clause "if you wanna leave" uses the first conditional (real possibility). "Ain't" is a colloquial contraction for "is not".

• I won't beg for your love

  ➔ Future simple negative with 'won't'

  ➔ "Won't" is the contraction of "will not" and shows a refusal in the future: I "won't" beg.

• I won't fall to the ground on my knees

  ➔ Future simple negative + infinitive verb phrase

  ➔ "Won't" (will not) is followed by the base verb "fall" forming a future negative action.

• You know I've given this everything

  ➔ Present perfect tense (have + past participle)

  ➔ "I've" = "I have" + past participle "given" shows an action that started in the past and is relevant now.

• I lied for you, baby

  ➔ Simple past tense (regular verb)

  ➔ "Lied" is the past form of "lie" (to tell a falsehood). It shows a completed action in the past.

• I can't apologize for something that I didn't do

  ➔ Modal verb 'can't' + negative; relative clause with past simple

  ➔ "Can't" = "cannot" expresses inability. The relative clause "that I didn't do" uses past simple "didn't" to refer to a past action.

• Tell me what you've done for me

  ➔ Present perfect in an interrogative clause (have + past participle)

  ➔ "You've" = "you have" + past participle "done" forms a present perfect question asking about completed actions up to now.
