(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

See, right now, I need you, I'll meet you somewhere now

You up now? I see you, I get you, take care now

Slow down, be cool, I miss you, come here now

It's yours now, keep it, I'll hold on until now

I need you right now, once I leave you I'm strung out

If I get you, I'm slowly breakin' down

And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here

Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere

All this time I'm thinkin' we could never be a pair

Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here

And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here

Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere

All this time I'm thinkin' I'm strong enough to sink in

Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here

But he love me not, he loves me

He holds me tight, then lets me go

He love me not, he loves me

He holds me tight, then lets me go

Soon as you leave me, we always lose connection

It's gettin' messy, I favor your affection

Don't loosen your grip, got a hold on me

Now, forever, let's get back together

Lord, take it so far away

I pray that, God, we don't break

I want you to take me up and down

And 'round and 'round again

And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here

Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere

All this time I'm thinkin' we could never be a pair

Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here

And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here

Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere

All this time I'm thinkin' I'm strong enough to sink in

Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here

But he love me not, he loves me

He holds me tight, then lets me go

He love me not, he loves me

He holds me tight, then lets me go

He love me not, he loves me

He holds me tight, then lets me go

He love me not, he loves me

He holds me tight, then lets me go

You gotta say that you're sorry at the end of the night

Wake up in the mornin', everything's alright

At the end of the story, you're holdin' me tight

I don't need to worry, am I out of my mind?

And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here (I'm losin' my mind)

Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere

All this time I'm thinkin' I'm strong enough to sink in

Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Key Grammar Structures

  • Right now, I need you, I'll meet you somewhere now.

    ➔ Future Simple (I'll meet)

    ➔ Use of the future simple tense ('I'll meet') indicates a future action decided at the moment of speaking.

  • I need you right now, once I leave you I'm strung out.

    ➔ Time Clause (once I leave you), passive with emotional connotation (strung out)

    "Once I leave you" is a time clause, indicating when the state of being 'strung out' begins. 'Strung out' uses passive voice construction connoting an emotional state, possibly of being anxious or overwhelmed.

  • If I get you, I'm slowly breakin' down.

    ➔ Conditional Clause (If I get you), Present Continuous (I'm breakin')

    ➔ The 'If I get you' part is a conditional clause indicating a possible scenario. 'I'm breakin' down' uses the present continuous to emphasize an ongoing process or gradual deterioration.

  • All this time I'm thinkin' we could never be a pair.

    ➔ Past Continuous in Reported Speech (I'm thinkin'), Modal Verb (could)

    ➔ 'I'm thinkin'' uses a simplified form of past continuous possibly used in reported speech (or thought) to describe a continuous action in the past. 'Could' is used to express a possibility or doubt about them being a pair.

  • Soon as you leave me, we always lose connection.

    ➔ Subordinating Conjunction (soon as), Adverb of Frequency (always)

    "Soon as" introduces a time clause indicating an immediate consequence after the action. "Always" emphasizes the consistent nature of losing connection after leaving.

  • Don't loosen your grip, got a hold on me.

    ➔ Imperative (Don't loosen), Ellipsis (got a hold)

    "Don't loosen" is an imperative sentence giving a command. "Got a hold" uses ellipsis, where auxiliary verbs (like 'have') are omitted in informal speech/lyrics.

  • I pray that, God, we don't break

    ➔ Subjunctive Mood (don't break)

    ➔ Although not the traditional subjunctive structure, "don't break" expresses a wish or hope, often associated with subjunctive-like meaning after verbs like "pray" (expressing uncertainty or desire).

  • You gotta say that you're sorry at the end of the night

    ➔ Informal Contraction ('gotta'), Indirect Speech (that you're sorry)

    "Gotta" is a colloquial contraction of "got to," indicating obligation or necessity. "That you're sorry" is indirect speech, reporting what needs to be said.
