Eh-eh-eh-eh, uh, eh-eh, uh

Say you gon' fight for me

Eh-eh-eh-eh, uh, eh-eh, uh

Fight for me

I want you pushin' up against me like you mean it

Want you to flip it and reverse it 'til I feel it

Need your love comin' at, comin' at, comin' at me

Well, I might just turn around, go and leave you on your knees

So fight for me

Want your hands up and down me

You can't live without me

Let's go, baby

Fight for me

Before I walk out that door

Boy, gеt me somethin' more

Fuckin' go crazy

Say you gon' fight for me

Eh-eh-eh-eh, uh, eh-eh, uh

That's right, I put it together and then you pull it apart

Can we just skip to the endin' and then go back to the start?

Need your love comin' at, comin' at, comin' at me

Key Grammar Structures

• Say you gon' fight for me

  ➔ Imperative + informal future (going to) without 'to'

  ➔ The verb "Say" is an imperative telling someone to speak. "you gon' fight" uses the colloquial contraction "gon'" for "going to", showing a future intention without the particle "to".

• I want you to flip it and reverse it 'til I feel it

  ➔ Verb + object + to‑infinitive (want + someone + to do)

  ➔ "want" is followed by an object "you" and the "to‑infinitive" "to flip" and "to reverse". This structure expresses a desire for someone else to perform an action.

• Well, I might just turn around, go and leave you on your knees

  ➔ Modal verb + bare infinitive (might + verb); coordination with "go and" + verb

  ➔ "might" is a modal verb expressing possibility, followed by the bare infinitive "turn". The phrase "go and leave" combines two verbs with "and" to show a sequence of actions.

• You can't live without me

  ➔ Modal verb + negative + bare infinitive (can't + live)

  ➔ "can't" is the contraction of "cannot", a modal verb expressing inability. It is followed by the bare infinitive "live" to form a negative statement of capability.

• Before I walk out that door

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction "before" + simple present to refer to future

  ➔ "Before" introduces a time clause. Even though the action ("walk") is in the future, English commonly uses the simple present after "before".

• Put up a fight if you want me

  ➔ Imperative + conditional clause with "if" + present simple

  ➔ "Put up a fight" is an imperative urging action. The clause "if you want me" uses "if" + present simple to set a condition for that action.

• Can we just skip to the ending and then go back to the start?

  ➔ Modal verb "can" + subject + base verb (question); coordination with "and then"

  ➔ "Can" is a modal verb used to ask for permission or possibility. The sentence is a question because the subject "we" follows the modal. "skip to the ending and then go back" links two actions with "and then".

• That's right, I put it together and then you pull it apart

  ➔ Simple past "put" (irregular) + coordination with "and then" + simple present "pull"

  ➔ "put" is the irregular past tense of "put". The two clauses are linked by "and then", showing a sequence: first I "put it together", then you "pull it apart" (present simple for a habitual action).

• Fight for me

  ➔ Bare infinitive used as a command/request; imperative mood without subject

  ➔ "Fight" appears without "to" and without an explicit subject, which is typical for an imperative that directly addresses the listener: "[You] fight for me!"
