[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)

...

Key Grammar Structures

• I guess you wonder where I've been

  ➔ Indirect Question; Present Perfect Continuous (implied)

  ➔ "I guess you wonder" introduces an indirect question. The phrase "where I've been" is not a direct question ("Where have I been?") but embedded within the statement. "I've been" implies the speaker has been somewhere for a period of time leading up to the present.

• I searched to find a love within

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The phrase "to find" expresses the purpose of the action "I searched." The infinitive form of the verb (to + verb) explains *why* the action was taken.

• I came back to let you know

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ Similar to the previous example, "to let you know" expresses the *purpose* of coming back.

• My friends wonder what is wrong with me

  ➔ Indirect Question

  ➔ "what is wrong with me" is embedded within the statement "My friends wonder". It's not a direct question, but a clause that functions as the object of the verb "wonder". Note the subject-verb order ("what *is* wrong"), not "what *wrong is*" which would be appropriate for a direct question.

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

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase (cause)

  ➔ The phrase "from your love" is a prepositional phrase indicating the *cause* of being in a daze. The preposition "from" connects the daze to its cause.

• Some people go around the world for love

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase (purpose)

  ➔ Similar to infinitive of purpose, the prepositional phrase "for love" indicates the purpose or reason for the action "go around the world".

• But they may never find what they dream of

  ➔ Relative Clause (noun clause)

  ➔ "what they dream of" is a relative clause acting as a noun clause. It serves as the object of the verb "find". The "what" here functions as both the relative pronoun and the missing element within the clause. (They dream of *something* = They dream of *what*).

• What you won't do, do for love

  ➔ Ellipsis; Emphasis

  ➔ This line uses ellipsis by omitting a verb. It can be expanded as "What you won't do, *I* do for love" (or someone else implied in the context). The inversion of "do for love" and the repetition of "do" emphasizes the extraordinary actions taken for love.
