[English]

Excuse me,

You look like you just got off of work

And if I may assume, baby

You work hard but you don't get much what you worth

Am I right? Let me take another guess,

You're a little stressed and I bet that you feel hurt

No, I don't read minds babe

But I just know what that look like when a woman worked all night

Tryina get her thing right

I don't know where you've been,

And I don't know what you've been through

But something telling me you, you deserve a drink or two

Bartender, let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Whatever she wants

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Whatever she wants

Let me get one more for the lady

Hey, Let me get one more for the lady,

See I don't know where you've been,

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

And I don't know what you been through

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

But something telling me you, you deserve a drink or two

You deserve a drink or two

See I was thinkin', over in the corner while I was drinkin'

See you've probably been lookin' for way more out a weekend

Than freakin' and watchin' the Sun fly so high

But you feel so nasty and don't know why

You tried all the things that you weren't gon' try

Like kiss body parts if it wasn't on a guy

But your girl's in the bed and it wasn't undivided

And wasn't no ambition, and everybody wishin'

We'd have did this shit way back then, why we didn't?

Even if you went too far, it's forgiven

You were high when you did it, everybody was trippin'

Promised you'd forget it, but everybody didn't

You're like, this ass doesn't land in the air, body mitten

And I don't just be lookin' on everybody's kitten

But you get in the room, and my dick in the room

Make your forget about all the chicks in the room, like that

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Whatever she wants

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Whatever she wants

Let me get one more for the lady

Hey, Let me get one more for the lady,

See I don't know where you've been,

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

And I don't know what you been through

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

But something telling me you, you deserve a drink or two

You deserve a drink or two

Ain't gon' lie to you, baby

Wish I could take you somewhere, more private

Ain't gon' lie to you, baby

Get all in your mind and see what's inside it

Ain't gon' lie to you

I want you, how could I not with a booty so fat?

I don't wanna get on your nerves, and test your patience

I ain't tryina do that, no

Ain't gon' lie to you, baby

I would love the opportunity to rub your feet

Ain't gon' lie to you, baby

If you with it, I got somebody sexy you should meet

Ain't gon' lie to you

You had a long night,

I'm just tryina help you end it right

So if I may be so bold,

Can I get you ONE MORE, to go?

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Whatever she wants

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

Whatever she wants

Let me get one more for the lady

Hey, Let me get one more for the lady,

See I don't know where you've been,

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

And I don't know what you been through

Let me get one more for the lady

Let me get one more for the lady

But something telling me you, you deserve a drink or two

You deserve a drink or two

Key Grammar Structures

• You look like you just got off of work

  ➔ Present simple with "look like" + past simple

  ➔ The verb ""look"" functions as a linking verb followed by the preposition "like" to make a comparison. "You" is the subject, and "just got off of work" is a past‑simple clause describing a recent action.

• Let me get one more for the lady

  ➔ Imperative with "let" + object + base verb

  ➔ The word ""Let"" introduces a polite request. It is followed by the object "me" and the base verb "get" in its infinitive form.

• I don't know where you've been

  ➔ Present simple negative + present perfect clause

  ➔ The auxiliary ""don't"" makes the verb "know" negative. The embedded clause uses the contraction "you've" (= "you have") with the past participle "been" to form the present perfect.

• I was thinkin', over in the corner while I was drinkin'

  ➔ Past continuous (was + -ing) + while‑clause

  ➔ The verb ""was thinkin'"" (colloquial for "was thinking") shows an ongoing action in the past. The word ""while"" introduces a simultaneous past action "was drinkin'".

• If you with it, I got somebody sexy you should meet

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple) – informal omission of verb

  ➔ The clause starts with ""If"" followed by the present‑simple subject "you" and the missing verb "are" (understood). This is a typical first‑conditional structure used to talk about a possible future situation.

• I would love the opportunity to rub your feet

  ➔ Modal "would" + infinitive (expressing polite desire)

  ➔ The modal verb ""would"" softens the statement, making it a polite expression of desire. It is followed by the infinitive "love" and the noun phrase "the opportunity to rub your feet".

• You deserve a drink or two

  ➔ Simple present (verb "deserve")

  ➔ The verb ""deserve"" is in the simple present, indicating a general truth or a present condition: the subject "you" merits "a drink or two".

• You tried all the things that you weren't gon' try

  ➔ Past simple + relative clause (that + past progressive)

  ➔ The main clause uses the past simple ""tried"". The relative clause begins with ""that"" and contains the past progressive "weren't gon' try" (colloquial for "were not going to try").

• You were high when you did it, everybody was trippin'

  ➔ Past simple + when‑clause + past progressive

  ➔ The first clause ""You were high"" is past simple. The adverbial clause ""when you did it"" uses "when" to indicate the time of the action. The second clause ""everybody was trippin'"" is past progressive, showing an ongoing situation.
