Misery Business
Paroles:
[English]
I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months, she finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more
I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up, now look this way
Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they want, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving
...
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
...
It just feels so good

Grammaire:
-
I'm in the business of misery
➔ Présent simple (être)
➔ Utilise le présent simple "am" (la forme de "to be" pour "I") pour indiquer un état actuel ou une vérité générale. "I'm" est une contraction de "I am".
-
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock
➔ Passé composé (have got), Similitude
➔ "She's got" est une manière informelle de dire "She has got", équivalent à "She has". Cela décrit une caractéristique physique qu'elle possède. L'expression "like an hourglass" et "like a clock" est une similitude, comparant la forme de son corps à un sablier et l'urgence de la situation à une horloge qui tourne.
-
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
➔ Passé Simple, Passé Continu (Implicite)
➔ "Thought" et "caught" sont au passé simple, indiquant des actions achevées dans le passé. Le passé continu implicite décrit la situation en cours, "I was thinking he was mine."
-
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
➔ Plus-que-parfait
➔ "Had caught" utilise le plus-que-parfait pour indiquer une action terminée *avant* un autre moment dans le passé (vraisemblablement lorsque la narratrice a réalisé que leur relation était devenue rapidement intense).
-
Whoa, I never meant to brag
➔ Passé Simple (négatif), Infinitif de but
➔ "Never meant" utilise la forme négative du passé simple pour exprimer qu'elle n'avait pas l'intention de se vanter dans le passé. "To brag" est un infinitif qui montre le but qu'elle *n'avait pas*.
-
But God, does it feel so good
➔ Emphase utilisant l'auxiliaire 'does'
➔ Le mot "does" est utilisé ici pour insister. Normalement, nous dirions "it feels so good", mais l'ajout de "does" le rend plus insistant.
-
Once a whore, you're nothing more
➔ Présent simple (être), Généralisation
➔ Utilise le présent simple "are" pour exprimer une généralisation. La phrase présente un point de vue comme une vérité universelle. "You're" est une contraction de "you are".
-
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
➔ Comparaison (aussi...que), Infinitif de but
➔ "As innocent as possible" est une comparaison qui montre le degré maximum d'innocence qu'elles essaient de projeter. "To get" montre le but de leurs actions.
-
And if you could, then you know you would
➔ Conditionnel deuxième forme (Implicite)
➔ Cette ligne est une forme abrégée d'une phrase conditionnelle de deuxième type. La phrase complète serait : "If you could [steal him away], then you know you would [steal him away]." Elle exprime une situation hypothétique et son résultat probable.
