[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)

Key Grammar Structures

• 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."
