Lyrics:

[English]

I guess you wonder where I've been

I searched to find a love within

...

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let go

...

My friends wonder what is wrong with me

Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love

But they may never find what they dream of

What you won't do, do for love (do for love)

You've tried everything, but you won't give up

And in my world, only you

Make me do for love, what I would not do

Now my friends wonder what is wrong with me

Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see

Now I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let go

What you won't do, do for love (do for love)

You've tried everything, but you won't give up

And in my world, only you (only you)

Make me do for love, what I would not do (would not do)

...

Grammar:

  • I guess you wonder where I've been

    ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (implied) within a subordinate clause using 'where'.

    ➔ The lyric implies 'I have been searching' for an unspecified time up to now. The subordinate clause 'where I've been' functions as the object of the verb 'wonder'.

  • I searched to find a love within

    ➔ Infinitive of purpose ('to find').

    ➔ The infinitive "to find" explains the purpose of the action "searched".

  • Got a thing for you and I can't let go

    ➔ Informal contraction 'Got' (instead of 'I've got'), modal verb 'can't' (cannot).

    ➔ 'Got a thing for you' is a colloquial expression meaning 'I am attracted to you'. 'Can't let go' means 'I am unable to stop thinking about you/us'.

  • My friends wonder what is wrong with me

    ➔ Indirect question using 'what'.

    "What is wrong with me" is embedded within the larger sentence, making it an indirect question. Note the change in word order compared to a direct question ('What's wrong with me?').

  • Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see

    ➔ Use of 'see' as a tag question (informal).

    ➔ The 'you see' at the end of the sentence functions like a tag question, seeking agreement or confirmation.

  • Some people go around the world for love

    ➔ Present Simple tense for general truths or habits.

    ➔ The sentence describes a general tendency; some people, in general, do this.

  • But they may never find what they dream of

    ➔ Modal verb 'may' expressing possibility, relative clause with 'what'.

    ➔ 'May never find' indicates a possibility that they will not find it. 'What they dream of' functions as the object of 'find'.

  • What you won't do, do for love

    ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words) for emphasis. 'What you won't do' implies 'the things/actions that you are not willing to do'. Imperative mood ('do for love').

    ➔ This line is a shortened version of 'The things that you are unwilling to do, do them for love.' The phrase "do for love" is an imperative, urging action.
