[English]

Threw away your love letters
I thought it'd make me feel better
I finally got you out my bed
But I still can't get you out my head, ooh
I'm sending you one text at a time
I know you're by your phone
So boy pick up your line
And I ain't too proud to beg
So what's been said has been said
And I need you to know
You don't know what love is
And I need you to know, you don't know
And you don't know what love is
If you don't put up a fight
You don't know what love is
If you don't stay up all night
Boy and you don't know what love is
If you're too good to call a million times
And you say you know what love is
But I swear you never seen it in your life, ooh

I swear you never seen it in your life, ooh
I swear you never seen it in your life

Key Grammar Structures

  • Threw away your love letters

    ➔ Past Simple Tense (irregular verb 'throw')

    ➔ The phrase "Threw away" uses the past simple tense to describe a completed action in the past. 'Throw' is an irregular verb, making its past form 'threw'.

  • I thought it'd make me feel better

    ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 2 implication - 'would')

    "It'd" is a contraction of "it would". Although not a full conditional sentence, it implies the result of a hypothetical situation (the unstated 'if').

  • But I still can't get you out of my head, ooh

    ➔ Modal Verb 'can't' for ability (negative)

    "Can't" expresses the inability to perform an action. Here, it signifies the speaker's struggle to stop thinking about someone.

  • I'm sending you one text at a time

    ➔ Present Continuous Tense

    "I'm sending" is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action happening at the moment of speaking.

  • And I ain't too proud to beg

    ➔ Double Negative (Non-Standard English)

    "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction for "am not", "is not", "are not", "has not", or "have not". The phrase uses a double negative (ain't + too) for emphasis, meaning the speaker is willing to beg.

  • So what's been said has been said

    ➔ Present Perfect Passive Voice (repeated)

    ➔ The structure "what's been said" uses the present perfect passive, indicating an action completed at some point in the past but relevant to the present. The repetition emphasizes finality.

  • You don't know what love is

    ➔ Generic 'You' (present simple for general truth)

    ➔ Here, "You" is used in a generic sense, referring not to a specific person but to anyone who doesn't understand love. The present simple expresses a general truth.

  • If you don't put up a fight

    ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 0 or 1 depending on interpretation)

    ➔ This is the 'if' clause of a conditional sentence. It could be type 0 (general truth) or type 1 (likely future). If 'love' always requires a fight, it's type 0. If the speaker believes fighting *should* be a part of the relationship, it's type 1.
