Before you listen to the song, have a look at this vocabulary, which will help you to understand the song better:
DAMN= An emphatic word (sometimes a bit rude but not here). Here it is giving emphasis to the word "mysterious".
GOT= You have got.
SHADES= (slang) Sunglasses.
HEELS= Shoe heels, design to make you look taller (see picture)
EVERYBODY LOOK= This is an imperative form (otherwise, if it were a present tense it should be "everybody looks"). When the subject is "somebody/someone" we use the plural forms "them, they, their, themself" but with a singular meaning to avoid "he" or "she" because "everybody" can be used for male, female or both:
- Everybody look to their left
- If you see anybody there, tell them to come.
- Someone is talking to themself in that room or is it the TV?
WANNA= (colloquial.) Want to.
PRICE TAG= A little tag attached to something to show its price (see picture).
AIN'T= (coll.) The negative form of the verb to be or to have:
- It ain't expensive = It's not expensive
- You ain't no doctor = You aren't a doctor
- I ain't go no money, man= I don't have any money
CHA-CHING= The sound that a cash register makes when its drawer is closed after money has been put inside. Used in conversation to indicate that the person being spoken about is going to or already has made quite a profit at little expense. ( this is Ka-ching in Shania Twain's song, do you remember?
