Grammar:

• Please wrap your drunk arms around me And I'll let you call me yours tonight

  ➔ Modal verb "will" (shortened to "'ll") + infinitive for future intention or promise.

  ➔ The phrase "I'll let you call me yours tonight" uses "will" ('ll) to show the singer's intention or agreement for that night.

• If you give me what I want Then I'll give you what you like

  ➔ Conditional sentence type 1 (real or probable condition): "If + present simple, then + will + infinitive".

  ➔ This sentence shows a direct consequence based on a likely condition. "If" a condition is met, "then" a result will follow. This use of conditional sentences is very common.

• I've got a brand new cure for lonely

  ➔ Present perfect simple ("have/has + past participle") used to express a state that started in the past and continues to the present (although the 'time frame' of its start is unstated). "Got" here as colloquial substitute for "have".

  ➔ While technically, "I have got a brand new cure" is correct, "I've got" is a very common, more casual way of saying this. It implies that the speaker has obtained this 'cure' and possesses it now.

• Emotions aren't that hard to borrow

  ➔ Use of the verb "to be" in negative form + adjective + "to" + infinitive. Describing a quality or characteristic.

  ➔ This sentence expresses the idea that "borrowing" emotions isn't a difficult thing to do. The structure emphasizes how easy (or not) something is.

• When love's the word you never learned

  ➔ Relative clause with the relative pronoun omitted. The full clause would be "When love is the word *that* you never learned".

  ➔ The word "that" is often omitted in defining relative clauses, especially in informal speech or writing. It defines 'love' as the specific word not learned.

• If you don't give me what I want Then you'll get what you deserve

  ➔ Conditional sentence type 1 (real or probable condition). Similar to the previous example, but using a negative in the 'if' clause.

  ➔ The use of the negative "don't" in the 'if' clause changes the consequence, but the core structure of the conditional sentence remains the same.

• Now that I gave you what you want All I want is to forget

  ➔ Compound sentence with a subordinate clause introduced by "now that". "Now that" indicates reason/cause. The second part uses the structure "All + I + want + is + to + infinitive" emphasizing a singular desire.

  ➔ "Now that" expresses the causal relationship between giving and the desire to forget. The 'all I want' structure emphasizes the speaker's single, intense wish.
