[English]

Hey I heard you are a wild one

Oooh

If I took you home it'd be a home run

Show me how you do

I wanna shut down the club

With you

Hey I heard you like the wild ones

Oooh

I like crazy, foolish, stupid

Party going wild, fist pumping music

I might lose it

Glass to the roof

That's how we does it

I don't care tonight

She don't care we like

Almost dared the right five

Ready to get live

Ain't no surprise

Take me so high

Jump and nose dive

Surfing the crowd

Oooh-ooohh

Said I gotta be the man

I'm the head of my band

Mic check one two-oooh

Shut 'em down in the club while the playboy does

And they all get loose, loose

After bottle, we all get bent then again tomorrow

Gotta break loose cause that's the motto

Club shut down: a hundred super models

Hey I heard you are a wild one

Oooh

If I took you home it'd be a home run

Show me how you do

I wanna shut down the club

With you

Hey I heard you like the wild ones

Oooh

Party rocker, fa' sho' stopper

More Chambull, number one club popper

Got a hangover like too much vodka

Can't see me with ten binoculars

So cool

No doubt by the end of the night

Got the clothes coming off

Then I make that move

Somehow, some way, gotta raise the roof, roof

All black shades when the sun come through

Uh-oh, it's on like everything goes

Wild out baby, 'til the freak, it shows

What happens to that body, it's a private show

Stays right here, pri-private show

I like 'em untamed, don't tell me high pain

Tolerance, bottoms up when the champagne

My life, call my hanna to be explain

Do you busy with the bail, we get insane

Hey I heard you are a wild one

Oooh

If I took you home it'd be a home run

Show me how you do

I wanna shut down the club

With you

Hey I heard you like the wild ones

Oooh

I am a wild one

Break me in

Saddle me up and lets begin

I am a wild one

Tame me now

Running with wolves

And I'm on the prowl

Show you another side of me

A side you would never thought you would see

Tear up that body

Dominate you 'til you've had enough

I can't lie

The wilds don't lie

Hey I heard you are a wild one

Oooh

If I took you home it'd be a home run

Show me how you do

I wanna shut down the club

With you

Hey I heard you like the wild ones

Oooh

I am a wild one

Break me in

Saddle me up and lets begin

I am a wild one

Tame me now

Running with wolves

And I'm on the prowl

Key Grammar Structures

• If I took you home it'd be a home run

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ Uses the structure "If + past simple, would/could/might + infinitive". "took" is the past simple form, and "it'd be" (it would be) uses 'would'. This expresses a hypothetical or unlikely situation in the present or future.

• Show me how you do

  ➔ Embedded Question (Indirect Question)

  ➔ The phrase "how you do" functions as a noun clause, answering the implicit question "How do you do it?". The word order changes from the direct question form.

• Glass to the roof, that's how we does it

  ➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (Non-Standard)

  ➔ The use of "does" with the subject "we" is grammatically incorrect in standard English. It's a feature of some dialects or a stylistic choice for emphasis or rhythm. Standard English would be "that's how we *do* it".

• Almost dared the right five

  ➔ Ellipsis and Ambiguity

  ➔ This line is ambiguous due to ellipsis (omission of words). It's unclear what "dared" refers to without context. A possible interpretation is that it's short for "almost dared to do the right high five."

• Take me so high

  ➔ Adverb of Degree + Adjective

  ➔ "So" is an adverb of degree, modifying the adjective "high". It intensifies the adjective, indicating a large degree of height.

• Party rocker, fa' sho' stopper

  ➔ Slang and Contractions

  ➔ "Fa' sho'" is a slang contraction of "for sure". This illustrates the informal language often used in popular music. The line uses informal language to convey a casual and energetic vibe.

• Can't see me with ten binoculars

  ➔ Modal Verb + Negation

  ➔ "Can't see" uses the modal verb "can" with the negation "not" (contracted to "-n't"). It indicates an impossibility or inability to see the speaker, even with powerful binoculars.

• Running with wolves, And I'm on the prowl

  ➔ Present Continuous and Simple Present

  ➔ "Running" is the present continuous, describing an action in progress. "I'm on the prowl" uses the simple present to describe a current state or condition.
