Lyrics & Translation

[English]

when you tell somebody some news and

they don't believe you

what do you say

what's up you look happy about something

i just heard

the best news really tell me

i won the lottery i'm rich

no way are you serious what do you say

i mean it i'm a millionaire now

we're friends right

what do you say i'm just playing with

you

i wish it was true not funny

a or b what's your choice

when you're serious about something or

telling the truth

you can say i mean it

i mean it this is especially good to use

if the person looks like they don't

believe what you're saying

if the person looks like or says they

don't believe what you're saying say

i'm not joking i'm not joking

this means what you are saying is real

and

serious so the person better believe you

lastly a nice and simple expression is

i'm serious i'm serious

this is a good way to make the person

take you

seriously to take someone seriously

means to believe what they say and do

and respect them

[Music]

when you are making a joke you can say

i'm just playing with you i'm just

playing with you

this means what you just said or did

was a joke and not real it was just for

fun

and they shouldn't take it seriously you

can also

say i'm just messing around

or did something for fun as a joke

you're not being serious and what you

said

or did was untrue finally

use this expression i'm just joking

i'm just joking again this means

just having fun

[Music]

so the next time someone doesn't believe

what you say

what will you say let me know in the

comments

until next time learn to express

yourself in english with cake
