Having fun and learning English

by | Jul 28, 2019 | Listening, Vocabulary

Let’s listen to an English song by the country singer Brad Paisley. “Me Neither” is a funny song that is really easy to understand, and contains useful English expressions you should learn.
“Me Neither”

Darling I’ve been standing here just watching you all night

And I think I’ve even caught you watching me a couple times

If I don’t ask I’ll never know

This may sound dumb, but here we go

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Me neither

I’m glad that we agree

Believe me

That’s a big relief

Well, this place is awful crowded

And this music is so loud

Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat?

Me neither

It’s nice to finally meet a girl who doesn’t move too fast

I was only checking, that’s the reason that I asked

Relationships need time to grow

You and I should take this slow

And darling tell me, would you like to dance?

Me neither

I was just being polite

Thank goodness

My feet are much too tired

I’m sure you’re tired too

I can see an empty booth

Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while?

Me neither

We’d never get along

I’m thinking there’s no chemistry at all

This has been a waste of time

And I’m running out of lines

Don’t you think it’s time for me to end this song?

Me neither
