Grammar:

• WHY YOU MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED

  ➔ Interrogative sentence structure with "why" and the verb "make". Use of "so" as an intensifier.

  ➔ The question uses the simple present tense to inquire about the reason something is made difficult. "Complicated" is an adjective describing the state of being.

• I KNOW YOU WON'T LEAVE ME HANGING

  ➔ Future simple negative with "won't" (will not), followed by the verb "leave" and the phrasal verb "leave hanging".

  ➔ "Won't leave me hanging" means the speaker believes the other person will not abandon or disappoint them.

• THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM

  ➔ Existential "there is" (contracted to "there's") followed by "more" indicating quantity, and a relative clause "where that came from".

  ➔ This phrase implies that the speaker has more of something valuable or desirable that they are referring to.

• IS IT HOT IN HERE, OR IS IT JUST ME

  ➔ Two interrogative sentences connected by "or", presenting an alternative. Use of the adjective "hot" and the personal pronoun "me".

  ➔ The speaker is questioning whether the heat they are feeling is due to the environment or their own perception.

• YOU KNOW JUST HOW TO KEEP ME UP

  ➔ Use of "know how to" indicating ability or skill. Use of the adverb "just" to emphasize "how". Phrasal verb "keep up" meaning to maintain energy or stay awake.

  ➔ The speaker acknowledges that the other person knows exactly what actions or behaviors are needed to maintain their high energy or keep them awake.

• I PUT YOUR BODY ON ICE, I PUT YOUR ON A FLIGHT

  ➔ Use of the simple past tense "put" (irregular verb). Parallel structure showing two related actions. Idiomatic expression "put your body on ice".

  ➔ "Put your body on ice" is likely a metaphor for treating someone extremely well, providing them with luxury or comfort. "Put your on a flight" uses ellipsis (omitting part of a phrase) implying 'put you on a flight'
