Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight
Lyrics:
[English]
Oh-oh, babe we're gonna love tonight
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight
They said I was a loser
They said that I've been untrue
But I don't care what the others say
Babe, I'm gonna be with you, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Babe, we're gonna love tonight)
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight
All I wanna do baby, it's true
Is give my love to you, just you
When I close my eyes, oh, I see
Is a place for you and me? Oh yes, there is
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Just a part of you, babe)
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight
You're a woman like no other
You leave me when I'm down and blue
You make me care for my every day
There's no other in my life but you, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Babe, we're gonna love tonight)
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Yeah, yeah)
Just a part of you late at night
Holding on to me, feel tight
Knowing I will feel the first time
Holds a place deep in my mind, ooh, ooh
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Just a part of you baby)
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (All I wanna do)
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Just a part of you baby)
Oh-oh babe, we're gonna love tonight (Yeah, we're gonna love tonight)

Grammar:
-
Oh-oh, babe we're gonna love tonight
➔ Future with "gonna"
➔ "gonna" is a colloquial shortening of "going to", used to express a future intention or prediction. It implies a degree of certainty and informality. It's common in spoken English.
-
They said I was a loser
➔ Reported Speech with Past Tense
➔ The verb "said" indicates reported speech. Because the reporting verb ("said") is in the past, the verb in the reported clause (originally "I am a loser") changes to the past ("was").
-
But I don't care what the others say
➔ Indirect Question with "what"
➔ "what the others say" is an indirect question acting as the object of "care". It doesn't follow the usual question word order (subject-verb inversion).
-
All I wanna do baby, it's true
➔ Cleft Sentence (Informal)
➔ This sentence is a form of a cleft sentence, used for emphasis. A typical cleft sentence would be "What I wanna do is..." but here, the "What" and "is" are omitted for a more casual tone.
-
Is a place for you and me?
➔ Simple Present Question Form
➔ This is a simple yes/no question using the verb "to be" in the present simple tense. The subject is "a place for you and me."
-
You leave me when I'm down and blue
➔ Present Simple Tense for Habitual Action
➔ The present simple tense ("leave") describes a repeated or habitual action: whenever the speaker is feeling "down and blue," the person being addressed always leaves.
-
There's no other in my life but you, yeah, yeah
➔ "But" used as "Except"
➔ In this sentence, "but" functions as a preposition meaning "except." The sentence means "There's no other person in my life except you."
