Key Grammar Structures

• Is it the fucks that I don't give?

  ➔ Cleft Sentence (It is... that...)

  ➔ This structure is used to emphasize a particular part of the sentence. Here, "the fucks" is emphasized as the potential reason for something. The "that" clause introduces a defining relative clause.

• Is this song why we get along?

  ➔ Relative Clause with "why"

  ➔ The word "why" acts as a relative adverb here, introducing a relative clause that explains the reason for something. In this interrogative sentence, it asks about the reason ("why") for getting along.

• Or am I coming on a little strong?

  ➔ Phrasal Verb: "come on"

  ➔ The phrasal verb "come on" here means to act in a way that suggests flirting or being overly assertive, especially in a romantic or sexual context. "A little strong" indicates the degree of this behavior.

• 'Cause the more that you tell me "Don't" / It's the more that you turn me on

  ➔ Parallel Comparative (The more... the more...)

  ➔ This structure shows a direct correlation between two increasing (or decreasing) actions or states. As one thing happens/increases, so does the other.

• I can't leave, I can't leave

  ➔ Modal Verb "can't" + Bare Infinitive (Expressing inability/impossibility)

  ➔ The modal verb "can't" (cannot) is used to express an inability or impossibility to perform an action. Here, the speaker is stating their inability to "leave".

• Dancing alone don't look right on me, yeah

  ➔ Gerund as Subject

  ➔ The "-ing" form of a verb, a gerund, functions as a noun in this sentence, acting as the subject of the verb "look". It refers to the *act* of dancing. Note the informal use of "don't" instead of "doesn't".

• Is it wrong that I wanna get right

  ➔ "It is + Adjective + That-clause" (Expressing judgment/opinion)

  ➔ This common structure is used to express an opinion or judgment about a situation or action described in the "that" clause. Here, the speaker questions if their desire ("I wanna get right") is "wrong".

• That got me thinking things like this

  ➔ Causative Verb "get" + Object + Gerund (V-ing)

  ➔ This structure indicates that something or someone caused or influenced another person to start doing something. "That" refers to the preceding action/event, which caused "me" to start "thinking".

• Is it wrong that I wanna get right

  ➔ Informal Contraction "wanna" (want to)

  ➔ "Wanna" is a common informal contraction of "want to". While very common in spoken English and song lyrics, it's generally avoided in formal writing. It indicates a desire to "get right" (which can mean to clarify or to get intimate).
