Grammar:

• My baby said she loved me

  ➔ Past Simple (reported speech)

  ➔ Uses the past simple tense "loved" because it's reporting what someone said in the past. Note the original statement might have been "I love you."

• As long as my mojo be working

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (informal/dialectal)

  ➔ Uses "be" instead of "is" or "are" after "as long as". This is a subjunctive form common in some dialects, particularly in blues music, expressing a condition or wish.

• She keeps me warm when I'm cold

  ➔ Present Simple (describing a habitual action/general truth)

  ➔ Uses "keeps" in the present simple to describe a general truth or something that happens regularly. "When I'm cold" sets the condition.

• You can never go wrong

  ➔ Modal verb 'can' (expressing possibility/certainty)

  ➔ "Can" expresses a strong sense of impossibility regarding making a mistake. The addition of "never" reinforces the certainty.
