[English]

Boy, I saw you soon as you came bouncing through the door

You and your mans and them just look over the floor

Started doing your thing, and it made me notice you even more

The way, you turned around and looked at me, it seemed as though

You must have somehow felt me starin' on the low

Somethin' tells me you're the kind of guy I'd like to get to know

I ain't even gonna front, I ain't even gonna lie

Since you walked up in the club, I've been givin' you the eye

We can dance if you want, get it crackin' if you like

Must be a full moon, feel like one of those nights

Why, is this the first time that I'm seein' you around

Could you be visiting or are you new in town?

Yeah, whatever the case, I'm feelin' you right here and right now

Your smile and all the love you showin' lets me know that you

Like what you see and wanna get to know me too

This could very well be the start of somethin' special

Happy that I met you

I ain't even gonna front, I ain't even gonna lie

Since you walked up in the club, I've been givin' you the eye (givin' you the eye)

We can dance if you want (dance if you want), get it crackin' if you like (crackin' if you like)

That must be a full moon (a full moon), felt like one of those nights

I ain't even gonna front (even gonna front), I ain't even gonna lie (even gonna lie)

Since you walked up in the club (walked up in the club)

I've been givin' you the eye (givin' you the eye)

We can dance if you want (oh, whoa), get it crackin' if you like (crackin' if you like)

It must be a full moon, felt like one of those nights

I didn't think that I'd come here tonight

Meet someone like you, start feeling the way I do

Seems like we've known each other most of our lives

After one conversation, this must be right

I ain't even gonna front (even gonna front), I ain't even gonna lie (even gonna lie)

Since you walked up in the club (oh, baby), I've been givin' you the eye (hey-hey, hey)

We can dance if you want, get it crackin' if you like

It must be a full moon, felt like one of those nights (oh)

I ain't even gonna front, I ain't even gonna lie (I ain't even gonna lie)

Since you walked up in the club, I've been givin' you the eye (whoa)

We can dance if you want (whoa), get it crackin' if you like (whoa)

It must be a full moon, felt like one of those nights

I ain't even gonna front, I ain't even gonna lie

Since you walked up in the club, I've been givin' you the eye (givin' you the eye)

We can dance if you want (dance if you want), get it crackin' if you like (crackin' if you like)

That must be a full moon (a full moon), felt like one of those nights (one of those nights)

Key Grammar Structures

• I ain't even gonna front, I ain't even gonna lie

  ➔ Future intention using informal 'going to' (gonna) with negative contraction.

  ➔ The word "gonna" is the informal contraction of "going to" and shows a future intention.

• Since you walked up in the club, I've been givin' you the eye

  ➔ Present perfect continuous with a 'since' time clause.

  ➔ "Since" introduces the starting point of an action that began in the past and continues to the present; "I've been givin'" is the contracted form of "I have been giving".

• Could you be visiting or are you new in town?

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' for polite possibility; present progressive vs. simple present.

  ➔ "Could" is used to ask about a possible situation in a polite way; "be visiting" is the present progressive form, while "are you new" is simple present.

• It must be a full moon, felt like one of those nights

  ➔ Modal verb 'must' for logical deduction; past simple used as a reduced clause.

  ➔ "must" expresses a strong inference ("It must be a full moon"); "felt" is the past simple acting as a reduced clause meaning "it felt like".

• I didn't think that I'd come here tonight

  ➔ Past simple with a negative; reported thought using conditional 'would' (contracted to I'd).

  ➔ "didn't think" is the past negative of "think"; "I'd" stands for "I would", showing a hypothetical future from a past viewpoint.

• You must have somehow felt me starin' on the low

  ➔ Modal perfect 'must have' for strong deduction about past; gerund "starin'" as object complement.

  ➔ "must have" shows a confident inference about a past event; "starin'" (short for "staring") functions as a gerund object after "felt".

• We can dance if you want, get it crackin' if you like

  ➔ First conditional with 'if' + present simple; coordinated imperative clauses.

  ➔ "can" expresses ability/possibility; "if you want" is a conditional clause in present simple; "get it crackin'" is an imperative verb phrase.

• Seems like we've known each other most of our lives

  ➔ Present perfect continuous in a stative sense; introductory verb "seems" followed by a that‑less clause.

  ➔ "Seems" is a reporting verb; "we've known" (we have known) uses the present perfect to indicate a situation that started in the past and continues now.
