• Watch me, It's time to move on

  ➔ Fixed Expression "It's time to..."

  ➔ The fixed expression "It's time to..." is used to indicate that something should be done now or that the appropriate moment for an action has arrived. It is followed by an infinitive verb (to + base verb). Here, "move on" is the action.

• You-oo-ooh know what I want

  ➔ Noun Clause (introduced by 'what')

  ➔ A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun. In this sentence, "what I want" is a noun clause acting as the direct object of the verb "know". It introduces a statement or idea.

• Don't worry, I'm waiting for you

  ➔ Present Continuous (for ongoing action) + Negative Imperative

  ➔ "I'm waiting" is in the Present Continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening now or around the present moment. "Don't worry" is a negative imperative, giving a command not to do something.

• Heart is bouncing this powerful shaking, Oh oh

  ➔ Present Participle functioning as an Adjective

• I don't ever wanna stop, never get enough

  ➔ Informal Contraction ("wanna") + Negative Adverbs ("don't ever", "never")

  ➔ "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to". "Don't ever" and "never" are negative adverbs used to emphasize that something is completely absent or will not happen at any time. "Don't ever" strengthens the negation, meaning 'not at any time'.
