[English]

She works it, girl, she works the pole

She breaks it down, she takes it low

She’s fine as hell, she’s all about the cash

Doing her thing right on the floor

Her money, her money, she’s making it

Got the way she’s shaking it

Makes you want to touch her, makes you want to taste her

Got you lusting for her,

Go crazy, face it

She’s so much more than you’re used to

Knows just how to move to seduce you

She’s gonna do the right thing and touch the right spot

Dance in your lap till you’re ready to pop

She’s always ready, when you want it, she wants it

Like a nympho, the info

I’ll show you where to meet her

On the late night, till daylight, the club’s jumping

If you want a good time, she’ll give you what you want

Baby, it’s a new age,

You like my new craze

Let’s get together

Maybe we can start a new phase

The smoke’s got the club all hazy,

Spotlights don’t do you justice, baby

Why don’t you come over here,

You got me saying

Aayooh

I’m tired of using technology,

Why don’t you sit down on top of me

Aayooh

I’m tired of using technology

I need you right in front of me

In her fantasy, it’s plain to see

Just how it be, on me, backstrokin’,

Sweat soaking

All into my sheets

When she’s ready to ride, I’m ready to roll

I’ll be in this place till the club closes

What should I do, on all fours?

Now that shit should be against the law

Different style, different move,

Damn, I like the way you move

Girl, you got me thinking about

All the things I’d do to you

Let’s get it poppin’, shorty

We can switch positions

From the couch to the counters in my kitchen

Baby, it’s a new age,

You like my new craze

Let’s get together

Maybe we can start a new phase

The smoke’s got the club all hazy,

Spotlights don’t do you justice, baby

Why don’t you come over here,

You got me saying

Aayooh

I’m tired of using technology,

Why don’t you sit down on top of me

Aayooh

I’m tired of using technology

I need you right in front of me

Ooh, she wants it, ooh, she wants it

Hmm, she wants it, I gotta give it to her

She wants it, hmm, she wants it

Hmm, she wants it, I gotta give it to her

I gotta give it to her

Baby, it’s a new age,

You like my new craze

Let’s get together

Maybe we can start a new phase

The smoke’s got the club all hazy,

Spotlights don’t do you justice, baby

Why don’t you come over here,

You got me saying

Aayooh

I’m tired of using technology

Why don’t you sit down on top of me

Aayooh

I’m tired of using technology

I need you right in front of me

Key Grammar Structures

• She's fine *as hell*, she's about the dough

  ➔ Intensifier "as hell"

  ➔ "As hell" is an informal intensifier used to emphasize the adjective "fine". At B2 level, learners should be familiar with formal intensifiers (e.g., very, extremely). At C1/C2, learners should have an understanding of these more colloquial and idiomatic intensifiers.

• Her money money, she *makin'*

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of 'is')

  ➔ The word "is" is omitted in "she makin'". This is a common feature of informal speech and song lyrics. Recognizing and understanding ellipsis is important for advanced learners (C1/C2) to fully comprehend natural language.

• Make you *want to touch her*, you wanna' taste her

  ➔ Causative "make" + infinitive without 'to'

  ➔ The verb "make" in this context is used in a causative construction. It means something causes someone to do something. After "make", the infinitive is used without "to".

• She's gone *do* the right thing and touch the right spot

  ➔ Informal contraction "gone do"

  ➔ "Gone do" is a colloquial contraction of "going to do". Recognizing these informal contractions is important for understanding spoken and song lyrics. While learners at B2 level might encounter this occasionally, it's a more expected understanding at C1/C2.

• Like a nympho, the info, I'll show you *where to meet her*

  ➔ Indirect question with "where to + infinitive"

  ➔ The phrase "where to meet her" functions as a noun phrase and serves as the object of the verb "show". It is a shortened form of an indirect question, e.g., "I'll show you where you can meet her". Understanding indirect questions is typically expected at the B2 level and above.

• If you *want* a good time, she *gone give* you what you want

  ➔ Zero conditional (with colloquialism)

  ➔ This is a zero conditional sentence, expressing a general truth or habit. The structure is "If + present simple, present simple". The phrase "gone give" is a colloquial contraction of "going to give", adding to the informal tone. Students at B2 should know conditionals, but C1/C2 will encounter the range and nuances of conditionals, including less standard forms.

• Why don't you come over here, you got me *saying*

  ➔ Causative "get" + object + present participle

  ➔ The phrase "got me saying" is a causative construction using "get". It implies that the subject's action (coming over) is causing the speaker to say something. The structure is "get + object + present participle". At B2, learners are exposed to these constructions, but at C1/C2 they should have a mastery of its usage.

• I'm tired of *using* technology, Why don't you sit down on top of me

  ➔ Preposition "of" followed by gerund

  ➔ The preposition "of" is followed by a gerund "using". This is a common grammatical structure, which indicates that an action is the object of the preposition. B2 learners should know this structure, C1/C2 level learners would be expected to apply it fluently.

• Just how it *be*, on me, backstrokin', Sweat soaking

  ➔ Non-standard verb conjugation ("it be")

  ➔ The use of "be" instead of "is" after "it" is a feature of some dialects of English, particularly African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It indicates a habitual or continuous state. Understanding and recognizing such non-standard conjugations is important for advanced learners (C1/C2) when dealing with diverse registers and dialects.
