This week's Karaoke Korner takes a look at vocabulary used in the lyrics.
"Fine by Me"
By Chris Brown
She doesn't call before midnight
If at all
Oh, she never stays to watch
The night turn to day
But I'm like
"Use me baby
Anyway you want"
I wish you were mine
In the broad daylight
But you just use me baby
Anyway you want
I wish you were mine but
Chorus
She only loves me
When the lights are off
Lights are off
She only loves me
When the sun is down
Sun is down
She only loves me
When no one's around
One's around
She only loves me
‘Cause I put it down
And it's fine by me
She's like the wind
She comes and goes
And again
All of my friends think I'm a fool
Silly them
(Chorus)
She knows I can take her there
Afterwards she just don't care
(Chorus)
You're a freak
And it's fine by me
