[English]

I know what you mean, you don't f- with randoms

I got everything, everything but real love

I got in my head, I bet you could get me back out

Or you could leave me there, 'cause

We just love to dream

In my fantasy when you woke up, oh

It's not you, baby, it's just me

I don't believe what I just lost

I don't want to close my eyes

Nobody wants to fall (fall) after they did it all (all)

I wonder if I left my body there, would I

Die right in my sleep (sleep) but in reality ('ty)

It could feel like anything is possible

When I hear you speak, it really drives it deep

Woke up in a sweat in the middle of the night

It's gettin' under my skin, baby

I wouldn't wonder why

I know what you mean, you don't f- with randoms

I got everything, everything but real love

I got in my head, I bet you could get me back out

Or you could leave me there, 'cause

We just love to dream

In my fantasy when you woke up, oh

It's not you, baby (na-na-na-na-na), it's just me (na-na-na-na-na)

I don't believe (na-na-na-na-na), what I just lost (na-na-na-na-na)

(I said, I said, I said, na-na-na-na-na)

And I said, "Ooh, stop it", ayy

I look a little like 'Nashe, ayy

You look a little exhausted, ayy (yah)

We should say "nah" to the party, ayy (huh)

Take me home in the Bugatti, ayy (yah)

Hope you like a little tea, I put it on his teeth

He like my Yerba Mate, aye

Jump in bed without my bonnet, ah (my bonnet)

Take a minute for the finer things (yah)

I don't even wanna sleep

You doin' some weed, blow it in my China bang

I be havin' hella dreams

Pickin' up his sheets feelin' like a tidal wave

Hit me if you want it right away

If he hit me with the mornin' sex

Show up, hit him with apologies

Kicks on him with a pile of J's

Bricks on him with a d- on him (yo)

Put a fit on him with the Prada shades (Prada shades)

T- on him and I ride away (ride away)

(How much do you want it?) Twice a day

(Four times) on the holidays (yuh)

King come through, your dreams come true

And trust me, you won't ever fall asleep

I know what you mean, you don't f- with randoms (and I hope you)

I got everything, everything but real love (and I hope you)

I got in my head, I bet you could get me back out (and I hope you)

Or you could leave me there, 'cause (oh baby)

We just love to dream

In my fantasy when you woke up, oh

(Oh, baby, baby), it's not you, baby (na-na-na-na-na), it's just me (na-na-na-na-na)

I don't believe (na-na-na-na-na), what I just lost (na-na-na-na-na), oh

Key Grammar Structures

• I bet you could get me back out

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' for possibility

  ➔ The use of 'could' suggests a possibility or a hypothetical situation. It's less certain than 'can'. Here, it implies the speaker believes the other person *might* be able to help her.

• I don't believe what I just lost

  ➔ Relative clause with 'what'

  ➔ 'What I just lost' functions as a noun phrase, referring to the thing the speaker has lost. 'What' introduces a clause that acts as the object of the verb 'believe'.

• Nobody wants to fall after they did it all

  ➔ Past Perfect ('had done')

  ➔ Although the lyrics use 'did' instead of 'had done' for stylistic reasons, it implies something that happened before the 'wanting to fall' happens. The correct grammatical structure would be 'had done it all'

• If I left my body there, would I die right in my sleep

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ This is a hypothetical situation. The structure is 'If + Past Simple, would + base form of verb'. It expresses an unlikely or unreal condition.

• It could feel like anything is possible

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' for possibility/speculation

  ➔ 'Could' expresses a weaker possibility compared to 'can'. Here, it suggests that under certain circumstances, the speaker *thinks* that anything *might* be possible, but it's not a definite assertion.

• We should say "nah" to the party

  ➔ Modal verb 'should' for suggestion/advice

  ➔ 'Should' is used to give a suggestion or advice. In this case, the speaker is suggesting that they decline the invitation to the party.

• Take me home in the Bugatti

  ➔ Imperative

  ➔ 'Take' is used here in its imperative form as a demand/request. It shows the speaker instructing someone to do something, namely, to take them home.
