[English]

Yeah

Smart, funny, you're like honey

I want you to trickle right down my throat

You're a sweet baby, I'm a sad, sad lady

But somehow you always make me feel at home

My heart's heavy, please don't let me

Please don't ever let me let you go

'Cause I'd like to lay beside you all night

Ooh

You make me wanna, make me wanna lose

Myself, myself

When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

I still love you and I don't know why

'Cause every other man didn't mean a goddamn to me

When I finish, it's not the end of you and I

When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

I still love you and I don't know why

'Cause every other man didn't mean a goddamn to me

When I finish, it's not the end of you and I

Good, giving, passionate with it

You make me feel like I could fly away

No, they didn't do it, how you just did it

So I want you to stay

And I'm pushing off your love, but then I'm pulling it right back

Feels so safe, you put me onto the right track

I just came to my senses, and I still don't regret it

Not one little bit, and I'm not usually like that

And oh-ooh

You make me wanna, make me wanna lose

Myself, myself

When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

I still love you and I don't know why

'Cause every other man didn't mean a goddamn to me

When I finish it's not the end of you and I

When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

I still love you and I don't know why

'Cause every other man didn't mean a goddamn to me

When I finish, it's not the end of you and I

When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

I still love you and I don't know why (and I don't know why)

'Cause every other man didn't mean a goddamn to me

When I finish, it's not the end of you and I

When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

I still love you and I don't know why (and I just don't know why)

'Cause every other man didn't mean a goddamn to me

When I finish, it's not the end of you and I

Lying in bed, got post sex clarity

Still love you and I don't know why

Still love you and I don't know why

Key Grammar Structures

• I want you to trickle right down my throat

  ➔ Verb + object + infinitive (want + sb/sth + to‑verb)

  ➔ The verb “want” is followed by an object (“you”) and the infinitive “to trickle”. This pattern expresses a desire for someone else to do something.

• My heart's heavy, please don't let me

  ➔ Contraction + negative imperative (please + don't + verb)

  ➔ “Heart's” is a contraction of “heart is”. The clause “please don’t let me” uses a polite negative imperative to ask someone not to allow something.

• Please don't ever let me let you go

  ➔ Double infinitive (let + object + infinitive)

  ➔ The verb “let” is followed by an object (“me”) and another infinitive (“let”). This structure means allowing someone to do something.

• When I'm lying in bed, got post sex clarity

  ➔ Present progressive + present simple clause (when + be‑verb + -ing)

  ➔ The clause “When I’m lying in bed” uses the present progressive to describe an ongoing action at a specific time; “got” is a colloquial past‑participle used as a stative verb meaning “have”.

• I still don't regret it

  ➔ Negative present simple with adverb of degree (still + don't + verb)

  ➔ The adverb “still” stresses that the lack of regret continues up to now; “don’t” is the negative auxiliary for the present simple.

• And I'm pushing off your love, but then I'm pulling it right back

  ➔ Contrastive conjunction "but then" + present progressive

  ➔ The phrase "but then" introduces a contrast between two opposite actions – "pushing off" and "pulling back" – both expressed with the present progressive.

• No, they didn't do it, how you just did it

  ➔ Past simple negative with auxiliary "didn't" and contrastive clause using "how"

  ➔ "Didn't" is the past‑tense negative auxiliary for "do". The clause “how you just did it” contrasts the previous negative statement, emphasizing the surprising action.

• I just came to my senses, and I still don't regret it

  ➔ Simple past + coordinating conjunction "and" connecting two clauses

  ➔ The first clause uses the simple past “came” to describe a completed action. The conjunction “and” links it to the second clause, which continues the speaker’s present attitude.
