[English]

Hey, boy, I'ma get ya

I'ma get you real good and I bet ya

Hey, boy, once I get ya

You'll be, oh, so glad that I met ya

Ow (TWICE)

Step one, do my highlight

Make me shine so bright in the moonlight

Step two, silhouette tight

Baby, even my shadow looks good, right?

Step three, when I arrive

Make you look my way with your heart eyes

Step four, got you on the floor

Make you say, "More, more, more"

When I say, "Hi"

I'm feeling all your attention on me

Hi

No reason to be so shy with me

I ain't gonna bite, come on over (No)

I know you wanna move a little closer (Yeah)

I got a plan to get you with me

I got you on my radar, soon you're gonna be with me

My strategy, strategy will get ya, get ya, baby

Winning is my trademark, soon you'll never wanna leave

My strategy, strategy will get ya, get ya, baby

Hey, boy, I'ma get ya

I'ma get you real good and I bet ya

Hey, boy, once I get ya

You'll be, oh, so glad that I met ya

When your cheeks go red (That's cute)

I wanna dance, you said ("Oh, cool")

'Til I'm in your head (It's cruel)

And you can't forget

You're feeling things now, and you're confused

Watching my body getting loose

You don't know what you're gonna do

You're mine

When I say, "Hi"

I'm feeling all your attention on me

Hi

No reason to be so shy with me

I ain't gonna bite, come on over (No)

I know you wanna move a little closer (Yeah)

I got a plan to get you with me

I got you on my radar, soon you're gonna be with me

My strategy, strategy will get ya, get ya, baby

Winning is my trademark, soon you'll never wanna leave

My strategy, strategy will get ya, get ya, baby

My strategy, strategy

Like gravity, gravity

One look at me, look at me

I bet ya, bet ya, bet ya, boy

You'll be down on your knees

Calling me up, begging me, don't leave

My strategy, strategy

Will get ya, get ya, get ya, boy (Ah-oh!)

Hey, boy, I'ma get ya

I'ma get you real good and I bet ya (Real good and I bet ya)

Hey, boy, once I get ya

You'll be, oh, so glad that I met ya (Oh, so glad that I, ooh)

Hey, boy, I'ma get ya (Hey, boy, yeah)

I'ma get you real good and I bet ya (Good and I bet ya)

Hey, boy, once I get ya (Hey, boy)

You'll be, oh, so glad that I met ya (Oh, so glad that I met ya)

Hey, boy, I'ma get ya

I'ma get you real good and I bet ya

Key Grammar Structures

• Hey, boy, I'ma get ya

  ➔ Informal Future (I'ma / be going to)

  ➔ "I'ma" is an informal contraction of "I am going to," indicating a future action or intention. It is very common in spoken English.

• You'll be, oh, so glad that I met ya

  ➔ "That"-clause after Adjective

  ➔ The clause starting with "that" (here, "that I met ya") provides the reason or content of the preceding adjective "glad". The word "that" can often be omitted in informal English.

• Make me shine so bright in the moonlight

  ➔ Causative Verb "make"

  ➔ The structure "make + object + bare infinitive" (here, "Make me shine") means to cause or force someone/something to do something.

• I'm feeling all your attention on me

  ➔ Present Continuous

  ➔ The present continuous tense, formed with "to be" + verb-ing (here, "I'm feeling"), describes an action happening at the moment of speaking or an ongoing action/state.

• No reason to be so shy with me

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose/Explanation

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "to be so shy" functions as an explanation or purpose for the preceding noun phrase "No reason."

• I know you wanna move a little closer

  ➔ Comparative Adjective with Intensifier

  ➔ "Closer" is the comparative form of the adjective "close." "A little" is an intensifier used to specify the degree of comparison, making it less extreme. "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to."

• Winning is my trademark

  ➔ Gerund as Subject

  ➔ The gerund form of a verb (verb + -ing), in this case "Winning", functions as a noun and serves as the subject of the sentence.

• When your cheeks go red

  ➔ Verb "go" for Change of State

  ➔ The verb "go" followed by an adjective (here, "go red") is used to indicate a change from one state to another, often with an unintentional or negative connotation (though not always).

• You're feeling things now, and you're confused

  ➔ Past Participle as Adjective

  ➔ "Confused" is the past participle of the verb "confuse," used here as an adjective to describe the subject's emotional state. Many past participles can function as adjectives.

• Soon you'll never wanna leave

  ➔ Future Simple with Negative Adverb "never"

  ➔ The combination of "will" and the negative adverb "never" (here, "you'll never wanna leave") expresses a strong future negation, meaning the action will not happen at any time in the future. "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to."
