Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Round table discussions

we don't talk about you

Pushing all the buttons

I don't give responses to you

Why you all up in my business?

We don't backtrack on the past tense

Beginning to feel obsessive, girl get the message

He makes me feel like I'm so secure

He makes me feel I'm on top of the world

I'm his type of girl

Don't get fooled by the silhouette

If I wanted to fight I could fight you

Baby girl there's no ill intent

I want to do things just to spite you

I'm sorry your feelings are hurt now

I'm sorry that things didn't work out

But he's too busy after dinner thinking 'bout making me his dessert

He makes me feel like I'm so secure

He makes me feel I'm on top of the world

I'm his type of girl

Ladies, if you got a man who loves you, you know it

And every day you're with him he shows it

Give me things, give me diamond rings

And my love pays you everything

And we never worry 'bout what she say, he say

Do it my way, we play every single day

He makes me feel like I'm so secure

He makes me feel I'm on top of the world

I'm his type of girl

Yeah, you know

Key Grammar Structures

• we don't talk about you

  ➔ Present Simple Tense (negative)

  ➔ Here, the present simple tense in negative form ""we don't talk"" expresses a habitual action or rule that doesn't happen, used to convey a general truth or ongoing situation.

• Why you all up in my business?

  ➔ Question Inversion

  ➔ This is an informal question where the subject follows the auxiliary verb, but ""Why"" introduces a special question, inverting the word order to form '"Why you all up"', which is casual.

• Beginning to feel obsessive

  ➔ Present Continuous Progressive Aspect

  ➔ The present continuous is used here to express an ongoing process or starting action: ""Beginning to feel"" indicates something intensifying over time.

• If I wanted to fight I could fight you

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Zero Conditional)

  ➔ This zero conditional expresses a general truth or habitual action: ""If I wanted"" (condition) - ""I could fight"" (result), implying automatic consequence.

• I'm sorry your feelings are hurt now

  ➔ Present Perfect Simple (Passive Voice)

  ➔ The present perfect passive is used: ""are hurt"" indicates a state resulting from a past action affecting the present, with ""your feelings"" as the object.

• But he's too busy after dinner thinking 'bout making me his dessert

  ➔ Gerund (Present Participle)

  ➔ The gerund ""thinking"" functions as the subject of the clause ""after dinner thinking 'bout making..."", expressing an ongoing action or activity.

• Ladies, if you got a man who loves you, you know it

  ➔ Second Conditional (Mixed)

  ➔ This has elements of the second conditional with past tense in the ""if"" clause: ""if you got"" suggesting hypothetical past leading to present knowledge, but it's informal advice.

• Give me things, give me diamond rings

  ➔ Imperative Mood

  ➔ The imperative is used to give commands or direct requests: ""Give me"" directly addresses someone, demanding action without a subject.

• And we never worry 'bout what she say, he say

  ➔ Reported Speech (Embedded Clauses)

  ➔ This uses embedded clauses to report speech indirectly: ""what she say, he say"" omits auxiliary verbs informally in direct style, but embedded as thoughts they ignore.
