Love, love, love, love, lovesick, lovesick

XO

You could have had anyone

But you make me feel like the only one

Love parts of you that you've never seen (seen, seen, seen)

I want a piece of your everything

I wish you were a song, I'd listen to ya on repeat (hey)

Boy, if you were a drug, I'd take so much I'd never sleep

All I'm trying to say is

I know it's real when you kiss me on the night bus

Holding my hand while we wander through the function

I know it's love, if it's not, I'm sick with something

I know it's love, I know it's love

If you wanna talk to me, wanna get on top of me

If you wanna talk a while, we can go slow-slow-slowly

There's no need to chase, you're the one I'm running to

Baby, don't get sick of me, 'cause you know I'm lovesick for you

I wish you were a song, I'd listen to ya on repeat (I'd love you, baby)

Boy, if you were a drug, I'd take so much I'd never sleep

All I'm trying to say is

I know it's real when you kiss me on the night bus

Holding my hand while we wander through the function

I know it's love, if it's not, I'm sick with something

I know it's love, I know it's love

When you're not here, smell the t-shirt with your perfume

Come to my house, baby, anytime you want to

I know it's love, if it's not, I'm sick with something

I know it's love, I know it's love

Love, love, love, love, lovesick, sick, sick, sick, sick

Love, love, love, love, lovesick, lovesick

Love, love, love, love, lovesick, sick, sick, sick, sick

Love, love, love, love, lovesick, lovesick

I know it's real when you kiss me on the night bus

Holding my hand (sick, sick, sick) while we wander through the function (yeah)

I know it's love, if it's not, I'm sick with something

I know it's love, I know it's love (I'm lovesick)

I know it's love, if it's not, I'm sick with something

I know it's love (I know it's love), I know it's love

Key Grammar Structures

• You could have had anyone

  ➔ Modal verb + perfect form (could have + past participle)

  ➔ The phrase 'could have had' expresses a past unreal possibility — something that could have happened but didn’t.

• You make me feel like the only one

  ➔ Causative construction (make + object + base verb)

  ➔ In 'make me feel', the verb 'make' causes the subject to experience emotion — 'feel' acts as the bare infinitive.

• I want a piece of your everything

  ➔ Possessive construction (your + noun)

  ➔ The possessive pronoun 'your' shows ownership — all the things belonging to 'you'.

• I wish you were a song

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (wish + past form)

  ➔ Using 'wish' with a past tense verb ('were') expresses an unreal or hypothetical desire about the present.

• I'd take so much I'd never sleep

  ➔ Conditional structure (would + base verb)

  ➔ 'I'd' means 'I would', showing a hypothetical or imagined action — not real, but possible under certain conditions.

• I know it's real when you kiss me on the night bus

  ➔ Adverbial clause of time (when + clause)

  ➔ The clause 'when you kiss me' describes the specific moment when the feeling is real, linking action and emotion.

• I know it's love, if it's not, I'm sick with something

  ➔ Conditional contrast (if + clause)

  ➔ The structure 'if it's not' introduces contrast — if love isn’t the cause, then something else must explain the feeling.

• There's no need to chase

  ➔ There is/are construction + infinitive clause

  ➔ 'There’s no need to chase' means 'It isn’t necessary to chase'; 'there’s' introduces existence, and 'to chase' acts as an infinitive phrase.

• Baby, don't get sick of me

  ➔ Imperative with negative (Don't + base verb)

  ➔ The phrase 'Don't get' gives a negative command, telling someone not to start feeling a certain way.

• Come to my house, anytime you want to

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of repeated verb)

  ➔ In 'anytime you want to', the verb 'come' is omitted after 'to' because it’s understood from the context.
