[English]

Ee (oh-oh)

I wanna let my hair down (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

While I'm starin' down your face

Wanna go 'til lights out (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Take you right back to my place

You out your mind (no, no, no, no)

If you don't know what this is

I'll tell 'em one by one, show 'em one by one

Twist my wrist

Goes like this, start with the track

Eyes on me, archin' my back

Just like this, here for the night

You ain't buyin' in? Just keep watchin'

Goes like this (yeah), move from the back (yeah)

Eyes on me (yeah), how you like that? (Yeah)

Just like this, here for the night

You ain't buyin' in? Just keep watchin'

Just keep watchin'

Just keep, just keep (oh, no, oh, no-no)

Just keep watchin'

I wanna make my mind up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh)

'Cause I know where this might go

Wanna take your time up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

But you make it difficult

Your friends, they try (they try, yeah)

But they don't know what this is (this is, yeah)

Tell 'em one by one, show 'em one by one

Twist my wrist

Goes like this, start with the track

Eyes on me, archin' my back

Just like this, here for the night

You ain't buyin' in? Just keep watchin'

Goes like this (yeah), move from the back (yeah)

Eyes on me (yeah), how you like that? (Yeah)

Just like this, here for the night

You ain't buyin' in? Just keep watchin'

(Yeah, yeah, yeah) just keep watchin'

Just keep, just keep (oh, no, oh, no-no)

Just keep watchin' (ooh)

It's alright, if you can't keep up, give me all your love

All night, all night

It's alright (it's alright), if you can't keep up, give me all your love

All night (oh), all night (baby)

Goes like this, start with the track

Eyes on me, archin' my back

Just like this, here for the night (oh-oh)

You ain't buyin' in? Just keep watchin'

Goes like this (yeah), move from the back (yeah)

Eyes on me (yeah), how you like that? (Yeah)

Just like this, here for the night

You ain't buyin' in? Just keep watchin'

(You know you watchin') just keep watchin'

(As long as you watchin', hey) just keep, just keep

(You know you watchin', ah) just keep watchin'

(As long as you watchin', yeah) just keep watchin'

Key Grammar Structures

• I wanna let my hair down

  ➔ "wanna" (want to) + infinitive

  ➔ "Wanna" is a colloquial contraction of "want to". It's followed by the base form of the verb ("let"). This construction expresses a desire or intention.

• Take you right back to my place

  ➔ Adverb of degree "right" for emphasis.

  ➔ The adverb "right" emphasizes the action of taking someone "back to" her place. It makes the statement more direct and immediate.

• You out your mind

  ➔ Informal expression: "be out of your mind"

  ➔ This is a shortened, informal way of saying "You are out of your mind," meaning someone is acting crazy or foolish.

• If you don't know what this is

  ➔ Conditional clause (Type 1: likely/possible)

  ➔ This uses a Type 1 conditional: "If" + present simple, then a future result (implied). It expresses a condition that is likely to happen and its possible outcome.

• Tell 'em one by one, show 'em one by one

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ The phrase uses ellipsis. The full sentence could be "Tell them one by one, show them one by one". The pronoun "them" is contracted to "'em".

• You ain't buyin' in?

  ➔ Negative contraction "ain't" and present continuous for ongoing action.

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction for "am not," "is not," or "are not." Here, it means "are not." The present continuous form "buyin' in" (buying in) suggests a current, ongoing assessment of whether someone is accepting or agreeing with something.

• How you like that?

  ➔ Interrogative clause with omitted auxiliary verb (do/does).

  ➔ This is a shortened form of "How do you like that?" The auxiliary verb "do" is omitted for a more casual, direct tone. It's used to ask for someone's opinion or reaction to something that was just done.
