[English]

No way it was our last night, still I might.

I might kill my ex, but I'm not sure now.

You know how I'm super shy, but I can buy myself flowers.

The boys a liar, like a goddamn vampire.

Last night we had the liquor talk,

Told me that you won't reply.

We'll go back to strangers, my dove.

But I feel like baby, I'll put you through hell.

Baby, please believe me, don't get greedy.

I said what I said, I don't care, I'll paint the town red.

Something's telling me this ain't over yet.

No way it was our last night, still I might.

I might kill my ex, but I'm not sure now.

You know how I'm super shy, but I can buy myself flowers.

The boys a liar, like a goddamn vampire.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

The boys a liar

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

So cool, somewhere with you.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Baby, please believe me, this ain't over yet.

Something's telling me this ain't over yet.

Baby, please believe me, ooh.

We were good, we were gold.

We could dance the night away.

Not one hair out of place, so please don't let it show.

Cause my heart can't take it anymore.

What was I made for? Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

She a bad little bitch, she a rebel.

He looks up grinning like a devil.

No way it was our last night, still I might.

I might kill my ex, but I'm not sure now.

You know how I'm super shy, but I can buy myself flowers.

The boys a liar, like a goddamn vampire.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

The boys a liar

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Somewhere with you.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Baby, please believe me, this ain't over yet.

Something's telling me this ain't over yet.

Baby, please believe me, ooh.

We were good, we were gold.

I said what I said, I don't care, I'll paint the town red.

Something's telling me this ain't over yet.

Key Grammar Structures

• I might kill my ex, but I'm not sure now.

  ➔ Modal Verb of Possibility

  ➔ "might" is used to express a **possibility** or a **tentative intention** in the present or future. It suggests that the speaker is considering the action but is not certain. Here, "might kill" indicates a potential, but not definite, action.

• Last night we had the liquor talk, Told me that you won't reply.

  ➔ Sequence of Tenses / Reported Speech (implied) + Future Negative

  ➔ The sentence "Told me that you won't reply" implies a form of reported speech. Although the main verb "Told" is in the past simple, the reported clause uses "won't reply" (will not reply), maintaining the **future negative** from the original direct speech, indicating an action that would not happen after the telling. This shows a direct quote of the future intention.

• But I feel like baby, I'll put you through hell.

  ➔ Phrasal Verb / Idiomatic Expression

  ➔ "put someone through hell" is an **idiomatic expression** (often considered a phrasal verb with an idiomatic meaning) meaning to cause someone a great deal of suffering, trouble, or a very difficult experience. It's not to be taken literally.

• Something's telling me this ain't over yet.

  ➔ Informal Contraction (`ain't`) + Present Perfect (implied passive)

  ➔ "ain't" is an **informal contraction** for 'is not', 'am not', 'are not', 'has not', or 'have not'. Here, "ain't over yet" functions as an informal version of 'isn't over yet' or 'hasn't been over yet', implying a **present perfect passive** structure that indicates something has not concluded up to the present moment.

• We could dance the night away.

  ➔ Modal Verb of Past Ability/Possibility

  ➔ "could" is the past tense of 'can' and is used here to express an **ability** or **possibility** that existed in the past. "dance the night away" is an idiom meaning to dance for the entire night.

• So please don't let it show.

  ➔ Causative Verb (`let`) in a Negative Imperative

  ➔ "don't let it show" uses the **causative verb** "let" to mean 'do not allow it to be seen or evident'. It's a negative imperative, instructing someone not to permit something to become visible or known.

• Cause my heart can't take it anymore.

  ➔ Modal Verb of Inability + Fixed Expression

  ➔ "can't take it anymore" is a **fixed expression** combining the modal verb "can't" (cannot) with the verb "take" in the sense of enduring or tolerating. It means the speaker has reached their limit of patience or emotional endurance.

• What was I made for?

  ➔ Passive Voice (Past Simple) in an Interrogative Sentence

  ➔ This is a question in the **passive voice**, specifically in the past simple tense. It asks about the purpose or reason for the speaker's creation or existence, focusing on what was done to them rather than what they did.

• He looks up grinning like a devil.

  ➔ Present Participle as an Adverbial Modifier

  ➔ The **present participle** "grinning" acts as an adverbial modifier, describing *how* he looks up. It indicates a simultaneous action or the manner in which the main action (looking up) is performed.

• I'll paint the town red.

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression

  ➔ "paint the town red" is an **idiomatic expression** meaning to go out and celebrate in a lively and boisterous way, typically involving drinking and visiting many places of entertainment.
