Grammar:

• Rumors goin' all over town

  ➔ Present Participle in reduced relative clauses/present continuous tense (non-standard grammar)

  ➔ This line uses a shortened form of 'Rumors that are goin' all over town.' The relative pronoun 'that' and the auxiliary verb 'are' are omitted. It could also be interpreted as an informal and grammatically non-standard use of the present continuous tense.

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

  ➔ Negative contraction ('ain't'), Preposition 'about' indicating involvement

  ➔ 'Ain't' is a non-standard contraction for 'am not,' 'is not,' or 'are not.' Here, it's a colloquialism. 'About' is used to mean 'involved in' or 'interested in.'

• Somethin' stronger than the whiskey

  ➔ Comparative adjective ('stronger') with 'than'

  ➔ The phrase 'stronger than' is a standard comparative construction, indicating a higher degree of strength compared to the whiskey.

• But every time I feel her kiss me

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction ('every time'), Bare infinitive after perception verb ('feel')

  ➔ 'Every time' introduces a dependent clause. The verb 'feel' is a verb of perception, and it's followed by a bare infinitive ('kiss').

• Who won't leave a hole in my heart

  ➔ Relative pronoun ('who') introducing a restrictive relative clause, Future simple negative ('won't')

  ➔ 'Who' refers to 'somebody' and introduces the relative clause that defines the kind of 'somebody' the speaker wants. 'Won't' is a contraction of 'will not', indicating future negative intention.

• That don't want me fallin' apart

  ➔ Relative pronoun ('that') introducing a restrictive relative clause, Non-standard negative agreement ('don't' with singular 'that'), 'fallin' apart' - gerund as object after want

  ➔ Similar to the previous line, 'that' refers to 'somebody.' The use of 'don't' with the singular pronoun 'that' is grammatically incorrect (it should be 'doesn't'), but it's common in informal speech. 'Fallin' apart' is a gerund phrase acting as the object of the verb 'want'.

• If I ever find

  ➔ Conditional clause (Type 1), 'ever' as intensifier

  ➔ This is a conditional clause indicating a possible future event. 'Ever' is used to emphasize the possibility, meaning 'at any time'.
