[English]

Oh, nothing

I was just saying nobody got it

Guess I'm in the wrong room

Boys are so out

They think the grass is greener than they realize, oh

Girl, it's alright

No, you don't really need him wasting your time, your time (that's right)

Try to upgrade you, he must be out his mind

He can play his games, but that don't make him wise

'Cause a woman like you, he never could replace

Kill that boy with kindness, hey girl, you should say

You should say (you should say, you should say, you should say)

Oh, you should say (you should say, you should say)

Yeah, one, two, three

Good luck

Going 'round the world

Chasing other girls

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

Looking for the touch

Can't replace with love

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

Boy, you've been 'round the world loving on other girls

But you will never find a love like mine, a love like

Good luck

Boy, you thought I was hurt to see you with other girls

But I know you'll never find a love like mine, a love like

Good luck

Ah, ah, yeah

Hell no

You found out he was creeping on the down low (down low)

So he gon' see the back of you when you walk

That's when you'll know he's got it way too comfortable, comfortable (that's right)

Try to upgrade you, he mus've bumped his head

He can play his games, but God did he forget

That a woman like you, he never could replace

Kill that boy with kindness, hey girl, you should say

You should say (you should say, you should say, you should say)

Oh, you should say (you should say, you should say)

Yeah, one, two, three

Good luck

Going 'round the world

Chasing other girls

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

Looking for the touch

Can't replace with love

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

Boy, you've been 'round the world loving on other girls

But you will never find a love like mine, a love like

Good luck

Boy, you thought I was hurt to see you with other girls

But I know you'll never find a love like mine, a love like

Good luck

I know, know you'll never

Good luck (a love like mine, a love like mine)

I know, know you'll never

Good luck (a love like mine, a love like mine)

He ain't worth the drama (ah, ah)

In due time, he'll get his karma (he'll get his karma)

You gon' find your happy ever after (ah, ah)

But he won't find better

So wish him good luck

Girl, he won't find better

So wish him good luck

...

Yeah, one, two, three

Good luck

Going 'round the world

Chasing other girls

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

Looking for the touch

Can't replace with love

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

I know you'll never

Good luck (oh)

A love like mine, a love like mine (woo!)

I know, know

See you with other girls (you'll never)

Good luck

Thinking you'll find better, baby

Good luck

Key Grammar Structures

• You don't really need him wasting your time, your time (that's right)

  ➔ Modal verb + base verb (don't need) + gerund

  ➔ The phrase "don't really need" uses the modal verb *don't need* followed by the gerund "wasting" to show that something is unnecessary.

• Kill that boy with kindness, hey girl, you should say

  ➔ Imperative sentence + prepositional phrase

  ➔ The verb "Kill" is in the imperative form, giving a direct command, and "with kindness" is a prepositional phrase indicating the manner.

• You should say (you should say, you should say, you should say)

  ➔ Modal verb "should" + base verb (say)

  ➔ The modal "should" expresses advice or recommendation, followed by the base verb "say" without "to".

• Thinking you'll find better, baby

  ➔ Present participle clause + future with "will" (you'll)

  ➔ "Thinking" is a present participle acting as a clause modifier, and "you'll" is the contraction of "you will", indicating future expectation.

• He'll get his karma

  ➔ Future simple with contraction "'ll" (will)

  ➔ "He'll" is the contracted form of "he will", used to talk about a future action.

• He thought I was hurt to see you with other girls

  ➔ Past simple + infinitive clause (to see)

  ➔ "He thought" is in the past simple, and the infinitive "to see" explains the purpose of the feeling "was hurt".

• Going 'round the world, chasing other girls

  ➔ Gerund phrase used as subject

  ➔ "Going" and "chasing" are gerunds that function together as the subject of the clause.

• I know you'll never find a love like mine

  ➔ Verb of perception + that‑clause (object clause)

  ➔ "I know" introduces an object clause "you'll never find a love like mine" that expresses what the speaker is certain about.

• He can play his games, but that don't make him wise

  ➔ Modal verb "can" + base verb; subject‑verb agreement error (don't → doesn't)

  ➔ "can" shows ability, followed by the base verb "play". The clause should be "that doesn't make him wise" because the singular subject "that" requires "doesn't".

• He ain't worth the drama

  ➔ Colloquial negative "ain't" (non‑standard) + verb "be"

  ➔ "ain't" is an informal, non‑standard contraction for "is not" or "are not" used here for emphasis.
