Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I miss my cocoa butter kisses, hope you smile when you listen

Ain't no competition, just competing for attention

And you like, "I'm not on no games"

Well, baby, I been peeping, and you ain't been the same

Like, who been on your mind? Who got your time?

Who you been vibing with? And why I can't make you mine?

You used to be texting me, checking me, calling me your slime

And now you treat me like my worth less than a dime

And if we paint a perfect picture, we can make it last forever

And you're the only one I want to wear my orange sweater

I told you I am down for the worse or the better

But I keep sticking to you 'cause them four stupid letters

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

You got me singing love songs

Oh, this the type of song you tip on .44's and pour up song

Yeah, that make you fall in love song

That "Hey, bighead, what you on?" Make you hit me up song

Double cupped, but bae, I'm leaning on you

You been playing games, I'm tryna make you my boo

I don't duck no action you buss one, and I buss two

Pills of satisfaction, I take the red, you pop the blue

And if we paint a perfect picture, we can make it last forever

And you're the only one I want to wear my orange sweater

I told you I am down for the worse or the better

But I keep sticking to you 'cause them four stupid letters

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

You got me singing love songs, love songs, love songs

You got me singing love songs (love songs, love songs)

Key Grammar Structures

• I miss my cocoa butter kisses, hope you smile when you listen

  ➔ Simple present + adverbial clause of time (when + present simple)

  ➔ The verb "miss" is in the simple present to talk about a regular feeling. The clause "when you listen" uses present simple after "when" to refer to a future‑or‑habitual action.

• Ain't no competition, just competing for attention

  ➔ Negative contraction "ain't" + double negative

  ➔ "Ain't" is a colloquial contraction for "is not/are not". The phrase "no competition" creates a double negative, which in informal English intensifies the meaning.

• And you like, "I'm not on no games"

  ➔ Discourse marker "like" + double negative

  ➔ "like" is used here as a filler introducing reported speech. The quoted sentence contains a double negative "not on no games", which is informal and emphasizes the denial.

• Well, baby, I been peeping, and you ain't been the same

  ➔ Present perfect continuous (have/has been + V‑ing) – colloquial contraction

  ➔ "I **been** peeping" and "you **ain't been** the same" are informal versions of "I have been peeping" and "you have not been the same". The present perfect continuous expresses an action that started in the past and continues up to now.

• Who you been vibing with?

  ➔ Present perfect continuous in a question (have/has + been + V‑ing) – ellipsis of auxiliary

  ➔ "Who **you been vibing** with?" omits the auxiliary "have" (standard: "Who have you been vibing with?"). This informal ellipsis is common in spoken English.

• And now you treat me like my worth less than a dime

  ➔ Comparative structure with "like" + "less than"

  ➔ "treat me **like** my worth **less than** a dime" uses "like" to introduce a comparison and the phrase "less than" to express a lower degree.

• If we paint a perfect picture, we can make it last forever

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, can + base verb)

  ➔ "If we **paint** a perfect picture" uses the present simple after "if" to talk about a possible future situation. The result clause "we **can make** it last forever" uses "can" + base verb to express ability.

• I told you I am down for the worse or the better

  ➔ Reporting verb + present tense (indirect speech)

  ➔ "I told you **I am** down..." keeps the verb "am" in the present because the speaker is still in that state. In indirect speech, the tense can stay the same if the situation is still true.

• You got me singing love songs

  ➔ Causative construction (have/get + object + verb‑ing)

  ➔ "You **got** me **singing** love songs" uses the causative verb "got" followed by an object "me" and a gerund "singing" to show that the subject causes the object to perform the action.
