Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Don't know when we going home

But your friend could come along

I'm thinking why not, baby, why not?

I'm looking good, don't wanna blink

Mary tells me I'm a king

I'm thinking why not, baby, why not?

Oh, take a sip, take a sip now

Take it down, take it down now

Say ah, say ah, say ah, say ah

Oh, do your dance, do your dance now

Sing it loud with me right now

Say ah, say ah, say ah, say ah

'Cause I believe we can fly now

Spread your wings and kiss the sky

Yeah babe, we can fly now

Spread your wings, we're miles high

So we can kiss the sky

My new girl headline the news

But my ex still coming through

And I'm thinking why not, baby, why not?

Ain't nuttin' gon' stop the funk

I'm gon' make you pop your trunk

I'm thinking why not, baby, why not?

Oh, take a sip, take a sip now

Take it down, take it down now

Say ah, say ah, say ah, say ah

Oh, do your dance, do your dance now

Sing it loud with me right now

Say ah, say ah, say ah, say ah

'Cause I believe we can fly now

Spread your wings and kiss the sky

Yeah baby, we can fly now

Spread your wings, we're miles high

So we can kiss the sky

Oh, kiss the sky

Come on, kiss it

Tell ya all my deepest, darkest secrets

If you let me funk you (if you let me funk you)

I just wanna mention, baby

I just bought a mansion, you could keep it

If you let me funk you (if you let me funk you), yeah

Top mins all day, got that broccolli

Six girls, G6, head to Miami

Tell you all my deepest, darkest secrets

If you let me funk you, funk you

'Cause I believe we can fly now

Spread your wings and kiss the sky

Yeah baby, we can fly now

Spread your wings, we're miles high

So we can kiss the sky

Way too high, now do it, baby, yeah, do it baby

Kiss the sky

Yeah, we can kiss the sky

Kiss in the sky

Kiss in the sky, yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• Don't know when we going home

  ➔ Omission of Auxiliary Verb in Present Continuous

  ➔ In informal speech or song lyrics, the auxiliary verb "are" is often omitted before the "-ing" form, especially after pronouns like "we" or "you". The full sentence would be "Don't know when "we are going" home."

• But your friend could come along

  ➔ Modal Verb 'could' for Possibility

  ➔ The modal verb "could" is used here to express a possibility or a suggestion, indicating that the friend has the option or potential to join.

• I'm thinking why not, baby, why not?

These are common in informal speech and music to convey a particular style or emphasis.
