[English]

Girl, I know you got weight on your shoulders

And I can tell that it's pushing you lower

You got me sitting right here

But you'd rather struggle so your conscious remains clear

'Cause you don't wanna owe nobody, nobody

But girl, I want some of your body, your body

Tell me what I gotta do to show you that I'm different

And whatever I give to you, don't come with no conditions

Girl, let me help you

I know you can do it on your own

But let me help you

Give me a try, girl, you'll never know

Let me help you

Help you, help you

You don't have to love on your own

Let me help you

Let me know when you want me to come over, mmm

I can tell you need someone there to hold ya

I don't wanna hear the truth so I'm gonna wait 'til you ask me

But baby, soon as you do, I'm a be over there to set your body free

'Cause you don't wanna owe nobody, nobody

But girl, I want some of your body, your body

Tell me what I gotta do to show you that I'm different

And whatever I give to you, don't come with no conditions

Girl, let me help you

I know you can do it on your own

But let me help you

Give me a try, girl, you'll never know

Let me help you

Help you, help you

You don't have to love on your own

Let me help you

Whatever you need, girl, you got it

I'm here to fill your desires

Eating things up like a fire

Baby, use all I require

No hidden agendas, no way

Baby, I'm in the open

So, let me help you

Help you

Girl, let me help you

I know you can do it on your own

But let me help you

Give me a try, girl, you'll never know

Let me help you

Help you, help you

You don't have to love on your own

Let me help you

I gotta help you

I gotta help you

I gotta help you

I gotta help you

Help you, yeah

You don't have to love on your own

Key Grammar Structures

• But you'd rather struggle so your conscious remains clear

  ➔ would rather + bare infinitive (preference)

  ➔ This structure expresses a preference for one action over another. Here, "you'd rather struggle" means "you would prefer to struggle."

• 'Cause you don't wanna owe nobody, nobody

  ➔ Double Negative for emphasis (informal)

  ➔ In standard English, a double negative creates a positive. However, in informal speech, "don't wanna owe nobody" is often used for emphasis, meaning 'you don't want to owe anyone at all.' Also includes the informal contraction "wanna" (want to).

• Tell me what I gotta do to show you that I'm different

  ➔ Informal obligation ('gotta') + Infinitive of purpose ('to show')

  ➔ "Gotta" is an informal contraction of "have got to" or "have to," expressing obligation. "To show" is an infinitive used to explain the purpose of an action.

• And whatever I give to you, don't come with no conditions

  ➔ Compound Relative Pronoun ('whatever') + Double Negative (informal)

  ➔ "Whatever" means 'anything that' or 'no matter what.' The phrase "don't come with no conditions" is an informal double negative used for emphasis, meaning 'comes with absolutely no conditions.'

• Girl, let me help you

  ➔ Imperative with 'let me' + bare infinitive (offering help/suggestion)

  ➔ This structure is used to make an offer, a suggestion, or ask for permission. Here, "let me help you" is a direct offer of assistance.

• I know you can do it on your own

  ➔ Modal verb 'can' (ability) + Idiom 'on your own'

  ➔ "Can" expresses the ability or possibility to do something. "On your own" is an idiom meaning 'by yourself' or 'without help.'

• You don't have to love on your own

  ➔ 'don't have to' (lack of obligation/necessity)

  ➔ This phrase indicates that something is not necessary or not obligatory. "You don't have to love on your own" means it is not necessary for you to love alone.

• I'm gonna wait 'til you ask me

  ➔ Informal Future ('gonna') + Informal 'til' (until)

  ➔ "Gonna" is an informal contraction of "going to," used to express future plans or intentions. "'Til" is an informal short form of "until."

• Baby, use all I require

  ➔ Omission of Relative Pronoun (Implied 'that' or 'which')

  ➔ In formal English, a relative pronoun (like 'that' or 'which') would typically connect "all" to "I require" (e.g., 'all that I require'). In informal or concise speech, it is often omitted when it functions as the object of the relative clause.
