[English]

Everybody needs love

Do you, do you really wanna go down that road tonight?

Do you, do you?

We already tried it once or twice

Just to end up hittin' the wall, mm

If my signal's mixed and messy, bet you think it's destiny

Call my ex, send late-night texts, 'cause I get off on jealousy

Keep your expectations underneath the pavement

Guess karma's a bitch

How's it feel? Now I'm the fuckboy

It's the way that it goes

Call me icy, icy, yeah, you made me ice cold, uh

I saw it all, front row

Shoulda won a prize for the stories you told

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Played the game, but I kept the score

How's it feel? Now I'm the fuckboy

Uh, phone is unavail', unavail'

If you wanna hit me, try my other cell 'cause I ain't pickin' up

Had enough, beep, beep, da-da-da

If you play with my emotions, you already know what's up

I'm so tired of the fake love

Can't no tears ruin my makeup (say)

Say, how do you sleep knowin'

That my love was like Heaven 'til you gave me hell? (Oh)

If my signal's mixed and messy, bet you think it's destiny

Call my ex, send late-night texts, 'cause I get off on jealousy

Keep your expectations underneath the pavement

Guess karma's a bitch (bitch)

How's it feel? Now I'm the fuckboy

It's the way that it goes

Call me icy, icy, yeah, you made me ice cold, uh

I saw it all, front row

Shoulda won a prize for the stories you told

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Played your game, but I kept the score

How's it feel? Now I'm the fuckboy

Ooh, if I told you it's not that serious

Heartbreak builds experience, it's evident that

You burned the bridge, I'm on fire

You set the tone, now I'm louder

I don't like you, I'm just bored

How's it feel? Now I'm the fuckboy

It's the way that it goes

Call me icy, icy, yeah, you made me ice cold (call me icy), uh

I saw it all, front row

Shoulda won a prize for the stories you told

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Played your game, but I kept the score (I did, I did, I did, I did)

How's it feel? Now I'm the fuckboy

Key Grammar Structures

• Do you, do you really wanna go down that road tonight?

  ➔ Present simple interrogative

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "do" forms a question in the present simple; "wanna" is the informal contraction of "want to".

• We already tried it once or twice

  ➔ Present perfect

  ➔ "Already" + present perfect "have/has tried" expresses an action that happened at an indefinite time before now.

• If my signal's mixed and messy, bet you think it's destiny

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, main clause with modal)

  ➔ "If" introduces a condition; the verb "is" is in the present simple, and "bet" functions as a modal meaning "I suppose".

• Call my ex, send late‑night texts, 'cause I get off on jealousy

  ➔ Imperative + coordinating conjunction "'cause" (because) + present simple

  ➔ "Call" and "send" are imperatives directing the listener; "'cause" is a colloquial contraction of "because" linking the reason clause.

• Keep your expectations underneath the pavement

  ➔ Imperative with object pronoun + prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Keep" is an imperative; "your expectations" is the direct object; "underneath the pavement" is a prepositional phrase indicating location.

• I'm so tired of the fake love

  ➔ Subject + be + adjective (state) + prepositional phrase

  ➔ "I'm" = "I am"; "tired" is an adjective describing a state; "of the fake love" is a prepositional complement.

• Can't no tears ruin my makeup

  ➔ Double negative (non‑standard) + present simple

  ➔ "Can't" already negates the verb, so adding "no" creates a non‑standard double negative meaning "cannot".

• I saw it all, front row

  ➔ Simple past verb + adverbial phrase

  ➔ "saw" is the simple past of "see"; "front row" functions as an adverbial phrase specifying where the speaker saw everything.

• If you play with my emotions, you already know what's up

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, main clause with present perfect "already" + present simple)

  ➔ "If" introduces the condition; "play" is in the present simple; "already" adds emphasis that the listener knows the situation before now.
