[English]

Don't know where you're at

Don't know where you been

Don't know nothin' 'bout that boy you're into

Don't feel bad for you

But I feel bad for him

And all the hell you're gonna be puttin' him through

Probably tell him we're a burnt out flame

Probably tell him that I ain't been on your mind

How I ain't nothin' but a long gone thing

You can curse my name

But baby, don't you lie

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

When you're ridin' where he's drivin', are you missin' my street?

Every time you close your eyes, tell me who do you see?

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Come on over tonight

Wish that truck in your drive was mine, just like you know it's supposed to be

When you're up in his bed, am I up in your head?

Makin' you crazy, tell me baby, are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Are you thinkin' 'bout

Are you thinkin' 'bout

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Do you hide your phone?

Did you change my name?

When he wants to go to our go-to place

Do you tell him you can't?

Then go out of your way to be somewhere

Any damn where that I ain't

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

When you're ridin' where he's drivin', are you missing my street?

Every time you close your eyes, tell me who do you see?

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Come on over tonight

Wish that truck in your drive was mine, just like you know it's supposed to be

When you're up in his bed, am I up in your head?

Makin' you crazy, tell me baby, are you thinkin' bout me?

Are you thinkin' 'bout

Are you thinkin' 'bout

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Don't know where you're at

Girl, I know where you oughta be

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

When you're ridin' where he's drivin', are you missing my street?

Every time you close your eyes, tell me who do you see?

When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Come on over tonight

Wish that truck in your drive was mine, just like you know it's supposed to be

When you're up in his bed, am I up in your head?

Makin' you crazy baby, tell me, are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Yeah, are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Are you thinkin' 'bout me?

Key Grammar Structures

• Don't know where you're at

  ➔ Ellipsis/Omission of 'I'

  ➔ The subject pronoun "I" is omitted for a more conversational and informal tone. The complete sentence would be "I don't know where you're at."

• Don't know nothin' 'bout that boy you're into

  ➔ Double Negative / Relative Clause

  ➔ The phrase "don't know nothin'" is a double negative (grammatically incorrect but common in colloquial speech). "that boy you're into" is a relative clause where "that" (or 'whom') is omitted: "that boy (whom) you're into".

• And all the hell you're gonna be puttin' him through

  ➔ Future Continuous (informal)

  ➔ "you're gonna be puttin' him through" is an informal way of saying "you are going to be putting him through" using "gonna" (going to). It expresses a future action in progress.

• Probably tell him we're a burnt out flame

  ➔ Simple Present with Future Implication / Ellipsis of 'will'

  ➔ The speaker uses the simple present "tell" to express a future action that is very likely. The full sentence could be "(She'll) probably tell him...". Omission of "will" is also common in informal speech. "burnt out" is a phrasal adjective modifying "flame".

• When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

  ➔ Present Continuous / Preposition 'bout'

  ➔ "you're tastin'" and "are you thinkin'" are in the present continuous tense, indicating an action happening at or around the time of speaking. "'bout" is a shortened, informal version of "about."

• Wish that truck in your drive was mine, just like you know it's supposed to be

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Wish Clause) / Passive Voice

  ➔ "Wish that truck...was mine" uses the subjunctive mood to express a desire that is contrary to fact. "it's supposed to be" is an example of the passive voice (although without a stated agent). It means "it is supposed to be mine".

• Did you change my name?

  ➔ Simple Past Tense (Interrogative)

  ➔ This is a question in the simple past tense asking about a completed action in the past. The auxiliary verb "Did" is used to form the question.

• Girl, I know where you oughta be

  ➔ Modal verb 'ought to' / Informal Contraction

  ➔ "Ought to" is a modal verb expressing obligation or advisability. "Oughta" is a colloquial contraction of "ought to". This line also uses informal syntax, and would properly be "Girl, I know where you ought to be".
