[English]

What's wrong with me?

I've never felt like this before

I feel like something's goin' on

I'm sayin' things I never say

I lose my head when you are gone

And I still can't put it back in place

'Cause you threw me off my game, no, I never felt this way

I'm losin' sleep, and I can't eat, it's like you're in my brain

There's something wrong with me, 169 degrees

(It's turnin' up, I'm burnin' up, it's takin' over)

I'm a love zombie, you got me goin' crazy

Just one kiss, and only you can save me

Ah-ah-ah, when love's on me

I-I-I'm a love zombie

I'm a love zombie, you got me goin' crazy

Six feet down, and only you can raise me

Ah-ah-ah, when love's on me

I-I-I'm a love zombie

Excuse me, sir, I think I lost my mind

Can you help me find my sanity?

Nothin' can bring me back to life

If it's not your body next to me

'Cause you throw me off my game, no, I never felt this way

It's turnin' up, I'm burnin' up, it's takin' over

I'm a love zombie, you got me goin' crazy

Just one kiss, and only you can save me

Ah-ah-ah, when love's on me

I-I-I'm a love zombie

I'm a love zombie, you got me goin' crazy

Six feet down, and only you can raise me

Ah-ah-ah, when love's on me

I-I-I'm a love zombie

I'm fallin' under, you make it hard to breath

Over and over, you got the air I need

I'm fallin' under, you make it hard to breath

Over and over (and over and over and over and over and over and over and over)

I'm a love zombie, you got me goin' crazy

Just one kiss, and only you can save me

Ah-ah-ah, when love's on me

I-I-I'm a love zombie

I'm a love zombie, you got me goin' crazy

Six feet down, and only you can raise me

Ah-ah-ah, when love's on me

I-I-I'm a love zombie

(It's takin' over)

I-I-I'm a love zombie

(And I kinda like it)

I-I-I'm a love zombie

Key Grammar Structures

• What's wrong with me?

  ➔ question inversion

  ➔ The verb "is" (contracted to "'s") appears before the subject "what" to form a question.

• I've never felt like this before

  ➔ present perfect (negative)

  ➔ "Have" + past participle "felt" creates the present perfect; "never" makes the statement negative.

• I'm losing sleep, and I can't eat

  ➔ present continuous; modal verb (negative) "can't"

  ➔ "Am" + gerund "losing" shows an ongoing action; "can't" = "cannot" expresses inability.

• There's something wrong with me, 169 degrees

  ➔ existential there (there is)

  ➔ "There" introduces the existence of "something wrong"; it functions as a dummy subject.

• Just one kiss, and only you can save me

  ➔ modal verb "can" (ability/possibility)

  ➔ "Can" expresses that the subject "you" has the ability or permission to "save".

• Excuse me, sir, I think I lost my mind

  ➔ verb of thinking + past simple

  ➔ "Think" is followed by a clause in the past simple "lost" to report a current belief about a past event.

• Nothing can bring me back to life

  ➔ negative indefinite pronoun + modal verb "can"

  ➔ "Nothing" serves as the subject; "can" expresses possibility, forming "nothing can bring".

• Six feet down, and only you can raise me

  ➔ modal verb "can" + bare infinitive "raise"

  ➔ "Can" is followed directly by the base form "raise"; no "to" is used after a modal.

• I'm fallin' under, you make it hard to breathe

  ➔ present continuous; causative verb "make" + object + adjective + infinitive

  ➔ "I'm" + gerund "fallin'" shows ongoing action; "make" + object "it" + adjective "hard" + infinitive "to breathe" expresses causation.
