[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?

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

  ➔ Future Progressive (informal 'gonna')
