Grammar:

• Here's a few things You need to know **if** you wanna be My one and only all my life

  ➔ Conditional Sentences (Type 1)

  ➔ Uses "if" + present simple, then "will/can/may/imperative" + base form. Expresses a real possibility in the future. Here, "if you wanna be" indicates the condition, and the rest of the sentence implies the speaker's desired outcome.

• Take me on a date. I **deserve** it, babe

  ➔ Present Simple for General Truth

  ➔ "Deserve" in the present simple expresses the speaker's belief that they are worthy of something based on general principle or earned right. It's not just happening now, but it's a continuing state.

• And don't forget the flowers **every** anniversary

  ➔ Use of "Every" to denote frequency

  ➔ "Every" + noun indicates that something happens on all occurrences of that noun. Here, it means that flowers are expected on *each* anniversary.

• So don't be thinking I'll be home and **baking** apple pies

  ➔ Present Continuous after "thinking" indicating an activity in progress

  ➔ The construction "don't be thinking + present continuous" implies disapproval or correction of an assumption. The speaker is rejecting the idea that they are currently baking apple pies, or that it's something they regularly do.

• If you wanna get that special lovin', Tell me I'm beautiful **each** and every night

  ➔ Using "each and every" for Emphasis

  ➔ "Each and every" is used for emphasis, meaning *absolutely every*. It strengthens the requirement, indicating that this needs to happen without exception.

• Just **apologize** And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right

  ➔ Imperative Mood for a Direct Command

  ➔ "Apologize" is in the imperative mood, used to give a direct command or instruction. There's no subject explicitly stated, but it's understood to be directed at the future husband.

• Even **if** I was wrong, You know I'm never wrong

  ➔ Contrary-to-fact conditional

  ➔ This sentence combines a Type 2 conditional ("If I was wrong...") with a statement of fact ("You know I'm never wrong"). It highlights the speaker's stubbornness by presenting a hypothetical situation (being wrong) that is immediately contradicted by their actual belief.

• And know **we'll** never see your family more than mine

  ➔ Future tense with "will"

  ➔ "We'll" is a contraction of "we will," indicating a future action or intention. Here, it expresses a strong assertion about the future relationship with the husband's family.
