Lyrics:

[English]

Rumors goin' all over town

Can't keep my name out their mouth these days, yeah, they say

I live too fast to settle down

Truth is, I just ain't about these games they all play

Wanna find

Somethin' stronger than the whiskey

And oh, I've tried

But every time I feel her kiss me

I keep comin' up empty, yeah

I just wanna love somebody

Who won't leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don't want me fallin' apart

And I'll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin' more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

Who ain't hypnotized

By dollar signs and blindin' lights, like they tend to be, yeah

I need someone that I'd be proud

To take on back to my hometown

Honest eyes that just ain't gonna lead

To lonely nights

Even when she's up against me

I don't know why

It feels like there's nobody with me

And I'm still empty, yeah

I just wanna love somebody

Who won't leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don't want me fallin' apart

And I'll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin' more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

...

I just wanna love somebody (whoa)

I just wanna love somebody

Who won't leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don't want me fallin' apart

And I'll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin' more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

...

Grammar:

  • Can't keep my name out their mouth these days, yeah, they say

    ➔ Modal Verb + causative verb + object + prepositional phrase

    "Can't keep" is a modal verb expressing inability combined with a causative verb. Here, "keep" is used causatively (they can't *make* people keep my name...). "out their mouth" is a prepositional phrase indicating the location or source of the action.

  • I just ain't about these games they all play

    ➔ Negative contraction + "about" (idiomatic) + relative clause

    "Ain't" is a contraction for "am not," "is not," or "are not." Here it's "am not." The phrase "about these games" uses "about" idiomatically to mean "involved in" or "interested in". "they all play" is a relative clause modifying "games."

  • Somethin' stronger than the whiskey

    ➔ Comparative Adjective + "than" + noun

    "Stronger" is the comparative form of "strong," indicating a greater degree of strength. "than the whiskey" is the comparative phrase, setting whiskey as the standard to be surpassed.

  • But every time I feel her kiss me

    ➔ Subordinating Conjunction + Subject + Verb + Object + Bare Infinitive

    "Every time" functions as a subordinating conjunction introducing the dependent clause. "I feel her kiss me" demonstrates the use of a "bare infinitive" ("kiss") after verbs of perception like "feel."

  • Who won't leave a hole in my heart

    ➔ Relative pronoun + Negative Future Simple + Noun Phrase

    "Who" is a relative pronoun that introduces a relative clause. "Won't leave" is the negative form of the future simple tense, describing an action that will not happen.

  • That don't want me fallin' apart

    ➔ Relative Pronoun + Negative Simple Present (non-standard) + Object + Present Participle

    "That" is a relative pronoun. "Don't want" is used instead of "doesn't want", which is grammatically incorrect in standard English, but common in certain dialects/registers. "Fallin' apart" is a present participle phrase acting as a complement to "want."

  • And I'll be lucky if I ever find

    ➔ Future Simple + Adjective + Subordinating Conjunction + Conditional Clause

    "I'll be lucky" is the future simple tense with the verb "to be" and an adjective. "If I ever find" introduces a conditional clause.

  • Honest eyes that just ain't gonna lead To lonely nights

    ➔ Adjective + Noun + Relative Pronoun + Negative Future with 'gonna' + Verb + Prepositional Phrase

    "Honest eyes" is a noun phrase modified by an adjective. "that just ain't gonna lead" uses a relative pronoun followed by a colloquial future form. "Ain't gonna" is a contraction of "am/is/are not going to". "To lonely nights" is a prepositional phrase indicating the destination or result of the action.
