[English]

Uh, oh, ooh, mmm (yeah)

I don't usually do this but, um (Tiller, oh my God)

Can I sing to you?

Yeah, yeah

Yours, mine, ours

I could do this for hours

Sit and talk to you for hours

I wanna give you your flowers

And some champagne showers

Order shrimp and lobster towers

But it's me that gets devoured

Ooh, when you do what you do, I'm empowered

You give me a superpower

Together, the world could be ours

You sit me up on the counter

Instantly, it's thunder showers

Stormin' for a couple hours

When we finished, take a shower

I could do this for hours

And hours and hours

I could do this for hours

And hours and hours

I could do this for hours

And hours and hours

I could do this for hours

And hours, hours

Usually don't like nobody

And when I say nobody, I mean nobody

All these niggas full of shit

You're just a homie once they hit

Felt like givin' up on love

These niggas almost made me quit

Then I met you

When I met you, I knew this was it

I've never been in love like this

A love like ours

I pray for it on my knees

Every night for some hours

And hours and hours

And hours and hours and hours

I could do this for hours

And hours and hours

I could do this for hours

And hours and hours

What's yours is mine and ours

And yours, mine and ours

I could sit and talk to you for hours

Sit and look at you for hours

Makin' love to you for hours

Layin' on your chest for hours

Tellin' you jokes for hours

Holdin' you close for hours

And hours and hours

Oh, oh, oh (yee-hee)

Oh, oh, oh (yee-hee)

Whoa, oh, oh (yee-hee)

Ah, I

Hours and hours (yee-hee)

Hours and hours (yee-hee, yee-hee)

Oh, oh

Hours and hours

Hours and hours

Whoa, oh, hmm

Yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• I don't usually do this but, um

  ➔ Adverb of Frequency

  ➔ The adverb "usually" indicates how often something happens. It's placed before the main verb "do" here.

• Yours, mine, ours

  ➔ Possessive Pronouns

  ➔ "Yours", "mine", and "ours" are possessive pronouns, indicating ownership. They stand alone, without a noun following.

• I wanna give you your flowers

  ➔ Contraction and Possessive Adjective

  ➔ "Wanna" is a contraction of "want to". "Your" is a possessive adjective modifying the noun "flowers".

• But it's me that gets devoured

  ➔ Cleft Sentence

  ➔ This sentence uses a cleft structure to emphasize "me". The standard sentence would be "But I get devoured". The "it's...that" construction highlights the speaker as the one being devoured.

• Usually don't like nobody

  ➔ Double Negative

  ➔ The phrase "don't like nobody" is a double negative, which, in standard English, would be corrected to "don't like anybody" or "like nobody". It's used here colloquially.

• Felt like givin' up on love

  ➔ Gerund after Preposition

  ➔ The word "giving" is a gerund, acting as a noun, and it follows the preposition "on". The full verb form would be "giving".

• When I met you, I knew this was it

  ➔ Past Simple and Past Tense of 'Be'

  ➔ "Met" is the past tense of "meet," and "was" is the past tense of the verb "be." Both indicate actions or states that occurred in the past.

• I pray for it on my knees

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ "On my knees" is a prepositional phrase, with "on" being the preposition and "my knees" being the object of the preposition. It modifies the verb "pray" by describing how the action is performed.
