[English]

There you go

There you go

I heard you like what I do

Heard you do what I say

So baby boy, can we get away?

(Get away, get away)

'Cause me plus you

Equals everything we shouldn't do

But you plus me

Equals everything I wanna be

Hang up tha phone

Hop in your whip

Boy I'm home alone

In this empty ass crib

And I ain't goin' nowhere

'Cept somewhere with you

'Cept somewhere with you

Drive slow, remember patience is a virtue

There you go at my front door

I ain't goin' nowhere

'Cept somewhere with you

Hang up tha phone

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

And I'm not one to accept what has happened

Weird stares now becoming a pattern

It's dark and I'm lost in the sadness

A delusion, we can't seem to grasp it

Me plus you

Equals everything we shouldn't do

But you plus me

Equals everything I wanna be

Hang up tha phone

Hop in your whip

Boy I'm home alone

In this empty ass crib

And I ain't goin' nowhere

'Cept somewhere with you

'Cept somewhere with you

Drive slow, remember patience is a virtue

There you go at my front door

I ain't goin' nowhere

'Cept somewhere with you

Hang up tha phone

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

There you go, there you go

There you go

Key Grammar Structures

• I heard you like what I do

  ➔ Noun Clause (as object)

  ➔ The phrase "what I do" functions as a noun clause, serving as the direct object of the verb "like." It introduces an indirect question or statement.

• Equals everything we shouldn't do

  ➔ Relative Clause (with implied relative pronoun)

  ➔ "we shouldn't do" is a relative clause modifying "everything." The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is omitted, common in informal English when it's the object of the clause.

• Hang up tha phone

  ➔ Phrasal Verb

  ➔ "Hang up" is a phrasal verb meaning to end a phone call. Phrasal verbs combine a verb with a preposition or adverb, often creating a meaning different from the individual words.

• And I ain't goin' nowhere

  ➔ Informal Contraction and Double Negative

  ➔ "Ain't" is an informal contraction for "am not," "is not," "are not," "has not," or "have not." The phrase "ain't goin' nowhere" uses a double negative, which informally means "I am going somewhere."

• Drive slow

  ➔ Imperative Mood (and informal adverb)

  ➔ "Drive" is in the imperative mood, giving a direct command or instruction. "Slow" is used informally as an adverb here, instead of the standard "slowly."

• what has happened

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ "has happened" uses the present perfect tense (have/has + past participle) to describe an action that occurred at an unspecified time in the past but has relevance to the present.

• we can't seem to grasp it

  ➔ "Seem to" + Infinitive

  ➔ The structure "seem to" followed by an infinitive ("grasp") is used to express that something appears or gives the impression of being a certain way, often implying uncertainty or a perceived inability.

• I'm lost in the sadness

  ➔ Past Participle as Adjective (Stative Passive)

  ➔ "Lost" is the past participle of "lose," used here as an adjective to describe the speaker's state or condition, often referred to as a stative passive construction.
