[English]

Oh really

Your parents are out of town?

Well I'll be at your house in a few

And i don't care if we just drive around

As long as i'm next to you

You're tellin me you know of a party

And that it's gonna be gnarly

But girl i'd rather watch netflix

Cause all i wanna do

Is be alone with you

Cause i think you're the bestest, yeah

I don't care what everyone's doin'

It's just me and you

(I got no plans if you don't, babe

I got no plans if you don't, babe)

And when we're all alone

Think of the things that we could do

(I got no plans if you don't, babe

I got no plans if you don't babe)

And I know you wanna stay long

Cause they just put on your favorite Drake song

And this party's poppin' but I got a better plan

We could fall in love

I don't think that it'll take long

I just wanna chill and sing along to that one song

Sing along to that one song (oh yeah)

And it goes like:

She's in a Smiths tee underneath her flannel

She could drink whatever but she loves Jack Daniels

I wanna get out this party and go home and light some candles

These people are too much for me to handle, yeah

You're sorta hipster, I grew up on punk rock

And I know how to party when I be goin' I don't stop

But tonight, girl I don't want no one else

I want you all to myself

So if you with it let's get it

We could be gone in a minute

Then light it up and we split it, aye

This gon' be a night that you won't be forgettin'

If you get caught we'll tell your dad

You needed help with house sittin' aye

I don't care what everyone's doin'

It's just me and you

(I got no plans if you don't, babe

I got no plans if you don't, babe)

And when we're all alone

Think of the things that we could do

(i got no plans if you don't, babe

I got no plans if you don't babe)

And i know you wanna stay long

Cause they just put on your favorite Drake song

And this party's poppin' but i got a better plan

We could fall in love

I don't think that it'll take long

I just wanna chill and sing along to that one song

Sing along to that one song (oh yeah)

Sing along like:

Everybody's got that one song (one song)

Let me sing it to you all night long (night long)

We be makin' love with the lights on (lights on)

It don't matter baby if it's right wrong (right wrong yeah)

So if you leavin' with me

Well then we rollin' in a minute

Baby we gon' see! yeah

Maybe we could kick it

To some dylan or some del rey

Order in some postmates

That's when she say:

I don't care what everyone's doin'

It's just me and you

(I got no plans if you don't, babe

I got no plans if you don't, babe)

And when we're all alone

Think of the things that we could do

(i got no plans if you don't, babe

I got no plans if you don't babe)

And i know you wanna stay long

Cause they just put on your favorite Drake song

And this party's poppin' but i got a better plan

We could fall in love

I don't think that it'll take long

I just wanna chill and sing along to that one song

Key Grammar Structures

• And I don't care if we just drive around

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 0

  ➔ Expresses universal truths/habits with "if" + present tense. Here "don't care" remains unchanged regardless of the driving condition.

• As long as I'm next to you

  ➔ Conjunction 'as long as'

  ➔ Means "only if" or "provided that". Indicates the sole requirement (physical closeness) for satisfaction.

• I'd rather watch Netflix

  ➔ Would rather (preference)

  ➔ Expresses strong preference for one option (Netflix) over another (party). Contracion "I'd" = I would.

• What everyone's doin'

  ➔ Wh-clause (noun clause)

  ➔ "What" introduces a noun clause acting as object of "care". Informal contractions: "'s" = is, "doin'" = doing.

• She's in a Smiths tee underneath her flannel

  ➔ Compound preposition

  ➔ "underneath" combines "under" + "neath" to indicate layered clothing precisely. More vivid than plain "under".

• These people are too much for me to handle

  ➔ Too + adjective + to-infinitive

  ➔ Expresses excessiveness beyond capacity. Structure: "too" + adjective ("much") + "to" + verb ("handle")

• We could be gone in a minute

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' (possibility)

  ➔ Suggests hypothetical scenario - leaving quickly if agreed. "Could" indicates feasibility, not certainty.

• We be makin' love

  ➔ Informal progressive omission

  ➔ Drops auxiliary "are" for rhythmic informality: full form = "we are making". Common in song lyrics/conversation.

• It don't matter baby if it's right wrong

  ➔ Informal negation (non-standard)

  ➔ Grammatically should be "It doesn't matter", but "don't" used for artistic effect/colloquial emphasis.
