You think I don't laugh, oh

Grammar:
-
Save me
➔ Imperative Mood
➔ This is a direct command or request. The subject (you) is implied. It's used to ask someone to "save" the speaker.
-
You think I don't laugh, oh
➔ Present Simple Tense, Negative Contraction
➔ Uses "don't" as a contraction of "do not". It's a simple statement about a perceived behavior. The "oh" is an interjection, likely added for emphasis or emotion.
-
Do things I can like so
➔ Relative Clause (Reduced)
➔ This sentence is slightly grammatically unusual. It could be interpreted as a reduced relative clause. The full clause would be 'Do things that I can like so'. The 'that' is omitted.
-
Why are we losing time?
➔ Present Continuous Tense (Question Form)
➔ This is a question asking about an ongoing action. It expresses a sense of urgency and concern about the present moment. The structure is: Wh-word + auxiliary verb (are) + subject (we) + verb-ing (losing) + object (time).
-
I don't want to get up, oh
➔ Negative Present Simple with infinitive of purpose
➔ "don't want" is the negative form of "want" in the present simple. "to get up" is an infinitive phrase expressing the intended action or purpose. The "oh" is an interjection.
-
Bring me what I need so
➔ Imperative with a noun clause acting as a direct object
➔ "Bring" is the imperative verb. "what I need" is a noun clause functioning as the direct object of "Bring". It specifies the thing the speaker wants someone to bring. 'so' is likely used for emphasis.
-
It's like I've seen the light, but baby, I never known
➔ Present Perfect Tense, Past Participle Usage (incorrect), Conjunction 'but'
➔ "It's like I've seen the light" uses the present perfect tense correctly. "I never known" is grammatically incorrect; it should be "I have never known" or "I never knew" (past simple). The 'but' introduces a contrast. The correct Past Participle form is 'known'.
