Grammar:

• Girl, I love to walk by you each day

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose/desire with "to"

  ➔ The phrase "I love to walk by you" uses the infinitive "to walk" to express the singer's fondness or desire to walk by the girl. It indicates *why* he likes to do it.

• I'm feeling like a stranger

  ➔ Present Continuous with "feel like"

  ➔ "I'm feeling like a stranger" uses the present continuous tense ("I'm feeling") with the phrase "feel like" to describe a current, temporary state or sensation. It expresses that at this moment, the speaker has the feeling *as if* he were a stranger.

• All this wondering's driving me crazy

  ➔ Gerund as Subject

  ➔ "Wondering" is a gerund (verb ending in -ing acting as a noun) that functions as the subject of the sentence. The entire phrase "All this wondering" acts as the subject causing the action, "driving me crazy."

• What do I lose if I don't take my shot?

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1)

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence (real/possible condition). "If I don't take my shot" (condition - present simple) implies a likely or possible situation, and "What do I lose?" (result - will/present simple) expresses the probable outcome.

• And it is seconds that's left on the clock

  ➔ Cleft Sentence (emphasizing "seconds")

  ➔ This is a cleft sentence, a type of sentence construction used to emphasize a specific part of the sentence. Here, the structure "It is...that..." emphasizes the urgency of the situation, pointing out that it's specifically *seconds* that are running out.

• Would it make you smile, baby?

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 2) - Inverted question form.

  ➔ This sentence is a variation of a Type 2 conditional, posing a hypothetical situation as a question. The standard form would be "If it would make you smile, baby...", but it's inverted to "Would it make you smile, baby?". This implies a less likely or unreal condition in the present, and expresses a hypothetical result.

• Baby, don't you lose what's in front of you

  ➔ Relative Clause with "what"

  ➔ The phrase "what's in front of you" is a relative clause using "what". "What" combines the function of a relative pronoun and the antecedent (the noun it refers to). In this case, it means "the thing that is in front of you".
