Dance Again
Lyrics:
[English]
Red one
J. Lo
Nobody knows what I'm feeling inside
I find it so stupid so why should I hide
That I love to make love to you baby
So many ways wanna touch you tonight
I'm a big girl got no secrets this time
Yeah I love to make love to you baby
If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then (let's do it, do it, do it)
Only got just one life this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say? (let's do it, do it, do it)
I wanna dance, and love
And dance again
I wanna dance, and love
And dance again
Baby your fire is lighting me up
The way that you move boy is reason enough
That I love to make love to you baby
I can't behave, oh I want you so much
Your lips taste like Heaven, so why should I stop?
Yeah I love to make love to you baby
If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then (let's do it, do it, do it)
Only got just one life this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say? (let's do it, do it, do it)
I wanna dance, and love
And dance again
I wanna dance, and love
And dance again
Let's do it loud
And make it last
'Cause baby, nothing should matter tonight
Let's do it loud
And make it last
'Cause baby, nothing should matter tonight
If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then (let's do it, do it, do it)
Only got just one life this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say? (let's do it, do it, do it)
I wanna dance, and love
And dance again
I wanna dance, and love
And dance again
...

Grammar:
-
Nobody knows what I'm feeling inside
➔ Embedded question with 'what'
➔ The clause "what I'm feeling inside" acts as the object of the verb "knows". 'What' introduces the embedded question.
-
I find it so stupid so why should I hide
➔ Emphatic 'so' + Modal verb 'should' for advice/suggestion (rhetorical)
➔ Here, "so stupid" emphasizes the level of stupidity. "Why "should" I hide?" is a rhetorical question implying there's no good reason to hide.
-
So many ways wanna touch you tonight
➔ Ellipsis (omission of words) - 'I' want to...
➔ The sentence is grammatically incomplete. It's assumed to be "There are so many ways I want to touch you tonight" or similar. This ellipsis creates a more informal and immediate feeling.
-
I'm a big girl got no secrets this time
➔ Informal reduction and omission of conjunction
➔ The 'and' is omitted between 'I'm a big girl' and 'got no secrets'. This is very common in spoken English, especially in informal contexts like song lyrics. 'Got' is used as a colloquial substitute for 'have got'.
-
If this would be a perfect world, We'd be together then
➔ Second conditional (unreal present/future)
➔ The "if" clause uses the past subjunctive ("would be"), and the main clause uses "would + base form". It describes a hypothetical situation in the present or future that is unlikely to happen.
-
Only got just one life this I've learned
➔ Fronting (topicalization) and informal contraction
➔ "Only got just one life" is moved to the beginning for emphasis. The standard word order would be "I've learned this: Only got just one life". "I've" is a contraction of "I have". Using 'got' instead of 'have' makes the phrase even more casual
-
Who cares what they're gonna say?
➔ Future with 'gonna' and embedded question
➔ "'Gonna'" is a colloquial contraction of "going to", used to express future intention. "What they're gonna say" is an embedded question acting as the object of "cares".
