Lavon wait til turn my love on. Wait till, wait till, wait till I turn my love on I'm no cheap girl, I'm a rollercoaster I baby jump on come on, come on cause baby if you can't tell you're what I wanna love on. This doesn't have to be some sort of mathematical equation. Slip off your jeans, slide in the sheets screaming you some quotations.

Clock in baby, get to work, night shift but with all the perks time stampin'when, you fall in love, time can mess with us.

With this song, Selena captures all the feelings we have when we are starting a new relationship, when things are fun and flirty, Selina asks to wait till she turns her love on, or in other words, starts showing him her love. To turn on is to switch a button to activate something. In relationship, when somebody turns you on, it means you're sexually attracted to them.

Just like this popular song from the nineties goes, when you feel excited and pleased, you are thrilled. If you're saying you're not a cheap thrill, it means you're not just for fun. Something to consider only for entertainment. So Selena says she's into serious relationship, not just for fun. If you remember, Siadhenne has a song called cheap thrills. It goes like this is a roller coaster ride, a life experience with lots of ups and downs can also be named a roller coaster.

So by singing im a rollercoaster ride, Selena suggests that being with her will be exciting and unpredictable. There are roller coaster songs by Jonas Brothers, Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber to name just a few. Roller coaster spinning around for can you tell me a secret? If you can tell, you either don't want or you can't share it with me. But when Selena sings, if you can't tell, she means something else.

And can you guess what this line means? Let's listen to it again. Here it means to distinguish in other words, Selena is saying that to her partner. It should be obvious that it is he she chose to be close with.

You may quite often come across this collocation to tell the difference. Like in this clip, I feel pleased you cannot tell the difference between this beautiful but a small diamond and that chunk of glass that should have made her finger fall off weeks ago. I wasn't so good at math back in school so yeah, I didn't like mathematical equations like this. By the way, note the pronunciation. It is the sound, not t or here equation equation.

But here in the sun it is used metaphorically to mean that it is not something complicated. There is nothing to think too much about it. A more common phrase would be its not rocket science. Together with our reliance, it shouldnt be rocket science. Learning English isnt a rocket science if you are learning it with a real life english app.

Slip off your jeans, slide in the sheets screaming you some quotations. When you're taking your clothes off quickly, you're slipping them off. It is most often used to talk about shoes. Check it out. I even have the same shoe in different colors.

Because they're so functional, you're able to keep your feet dry and they're so easy to slip on and slip off. Slide in is this smooth and quick movement? And sheets are your bed linen or bed clothes in modern English?

Slide in has also taken on a more modern sleep lang meaning in social media contexts where sliding to DM's refers to sending someone a direct message in a smooth and casual manner. The expression to clock in is used to say that you start your working day.

Some companies have a special card that you punch in and out to register the time when you arrive and leave your workplace. You can say for instance, I clock in at 09:00 a.m. every day ready to tackle my work. If you working during the night period then you are working night shifts. Not the easiest job in my opinion.

Hey how about you? Have any of you worked the night shifts? Tell me in the comments how was the experience? And maybe you want to share the advantages and disadvantages of such working schedule.

And by the way, another word for advantages of something is perks. While perks are most commonly used in the context of job or some special statuses, it can also be used in other areas. Take a look at this sentence. For example, a perk of living in a small town is a lower cost of living.

Time stamping when you fell in love means marking the exact moment you fell in love. timestamping is recording the time of an event. To mess with someone means to cause trouble. And the line time can't mess with us means that nothing can interfere or can harm their relationship. And a common phrase to warn somebody who's causing trouble to your friend or to your family is this, you mess with my friends, you mess with me.

Listen to Gloria using this phrase in this short clip. And by the way, if you love this show, we've made several lessons with the modern family on our channel so make sure to check it out later. But you mess with us and we mess with you, that's the cost.
