  ➔ This sentence uses the present simple tense to state a general truth or availability. "Only" emphasizes that being available is just a simple phone call away. I'm represents "I am".

• I'll be there to save the day

  ➔ Future Simple (with "will"); Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ "I'll" is a contraction of "I will", indicating future action. "To save the day" is an infinitive phrase used to express the purpose of being there.

• Superman got nothing on me

  ➔ Possessive ("got nothing on"); Comparative (implied)

  ➔ "Got nothing on" implies that Superman possesses no advantage or superiority over the speaker in the context of helping someone. There's an implied comparison: 'Superman's ability is less than my ability to help'.

• Call me, baby, if you need a friend

  ➔ Imperative Mood; Conditional Clause (with "if")

  ➔ "Call me" is a direct command (imperative). The phrase "if you need a friend" introduces a condition that, if met, justifies the action of calling.

• No matter where you go, know you're not alone

  ➔ Adverbial Clause of Concession ("No matter where"); Imperative Mood (know)

• When you're weak I'll be strong

  ➔ Adverbial Clause of Time ("When"); Future Simple (with "will")

• Now don't you worry, it won't be long

  ➔ Negative Imperative (Don't worry); Future Simple Negative (won't)
