She likes that I'm messed up
Because I bite her every time I kiss her
I give her like nobody's ever given her
When I'm with you, I'm living it up and it feels badass
I have a new position
I call it "the blowout"
I learned it in your room
Get wild if you want to
You can get wild if you want to
Get wild if you want to
I can give you anything you want to
My love, whenever I see you, you're out of control
Me inside your body and you feel superior
Giving you a hammer, and I'm not talking about Thor
And on my bed you already left all your underwear
You left all your clothes and the next day you called me saying you were coming
You were coming to devour me, there's no one like me
There's no one like you, baby, we are two
When I'm with you, I'm living it up and it feels badass
I have a new position
I call it "the blowout"
I learned it in your room
Get wild if you want to
You can get wild if you want to
Get wild if you want to
I can give you anything you want to
You know I'll be ready when you're knocking on my door
Tonight, girl, we're going to get out of control
Don't be shy, girl, when you're riding my pole
Make you feel like heaven when I'm up in your soul
Love how you handle the thing, girl
I want to know how you're so bold
Make me want to give you everything I have
Girl, come take the billfold
And when you're with me, baby, all night
Let me keep you dripping on the floor
I have a new position called
"The wickedest slam that'll leave you wanting more"
Get wild if you want to
You can get wild if you want to
Get wild if you want to
I can give you anything you want to
Drunk, she writes to me
She likes that I'm messed up
Because I bite her every time I kiss her
I give her like nobody's ever given her
When I'm with you, baby, all night long
Got you dripping on the floor
I have a new position called
"The wickedest slam gonna leave you wanting more"
Get wild if you want to
You can get wild if you want to
Get wild if you want to
I can give you anything you want to
Hey, Justin Quiles, baby
Yeah-yeah

Key Grammar Structures
-
You can get wild if you want to
➔ Modal verb “can” + zero conditional
➔ The modal **"can"** expresses ability, and the clause **"if you want to"** is a zero‑conditional expressing a real possibility.
-
I can give you anything you want to
➔ Modal verb “can” + infinitive “to” after “want”
➔ The modal **"can"** shows ability, and **"to"** is the infinitive marker that follows the verb **"want"** in the complement clause.
-
When I'm with you, baby, all night long
➔ Present continuous (am + -ing) with temporal clause “when”
➔ The verb **"'m"** (short for **"am"**) plus **"-ing"** forms the present continuous, indicating an ongoing action at the time expressed by **"when"**.
-
I have a new position called "The wickedest slam gonna leave you wanting more"
➔ Present simple with noun complement and gerund "wanting"
➔ The verb **"have"** is in the present simple, followed by a noun phrase **"a new position"**. The clause **"called …"** functions as a post‑modifier, and **"wanting"** is a gerund acting as the object of **"leave"**.
-
Le gusta que estoy daña'o
➔ Spanish “gustar” construction with a subordinate clause introduced by “que”
➔ The verb **"gusta"** (third‑person singular of **"gustar"**) takes a **"que"** clause (**"que estoy daña'o"**) as its subject complement, meaning “He/She likes that I’m messed up”.
-
Do nuh shy gal when you riding my pole
➔ Imperative “Do” + present participle “riding” (non‑standard reduced clause)
➔ The word **"Do"** functions as an informal imperative (“don’t be”), followed by the present participle **"riding"** which should normally be part of a progressive clause (**"when you are riding"**).
-
Mek you feel like heaven when me up inna yu soul
➔ Causative verb “Mek” (make) + bare infinitive, and colloquial “me up” as a reduced clause
➔ The verb **"Mek"** (a dialectal form of **"make"**) takes the bare infinitive **"feel"**. The phrase **"me up"** is a non‑standard reduced clause meaning **"when I’m up"**.
-
You know that I'll be ready when you knocking my door
➔ Future simple “will be” + present participle “knocking” in a temporal clause (missing auxiliary)
➔ The clause **"I'll be ready"** uses the future simple **"will be"**. In the temporal clause **"when you knocking my door"**, the present participle **"knocking"** should be preceded by **"are"** (**"when you are knocking"**).
