GOT=(非正式)“I've got”,我得到了。

I GO ON TOO MANY DATES=我經(jīng)常和男孩子出去約會,我有很多男朋友。To go on a date =參加一場浪漫的約會。

'CAUSE=因為

PLAYERS=擅于操控(玩弄)他人的人,尤其是指那些擅于通過假裝關(guān)心女生以此來引誘她們的人,而實際上那些人只在乎的是性愛。該詞可能源于短語"play him for a fool"(把他當(dāng)作傻瓜對待),或者可能"play him like a violin"(把他當(dāng)作樂器來把弄)也和“playboy”(玩弄女性的人)有關(guān)。該句用語因嘻哈文化的風(fēng)靡而備受歡迎,但通常只是在二十世紀(jì)七十年代住在美國市區(qū)的黑人之間使用。

GONNA=(口語)“Are going to”將會。

HATERS=憎恨別人的人。

I SHAKE IT OFF=擺脫,不束縛于。在這首歌中的意思是“我不在意他們說的話,不受他們批判的影響”
