Grammar:

• I can't remember the last time you looked as happy as you did tonight

  ➔ Comparison (as...as), Past Simple

  ➔ The sentence uses the 'as...as' structure to compare how happy someone looked tonight versus a previous time. 'As happy as you did tonight' highlights the level of happiness being compared to the happiness level 'tonight'.

• Baby you never do when we're alone together

  ➔ Present Simple, Subordinate Clause (when)

  ➔ This sentence implies a habitual action that doesn't occur when they are alone. 'When we're alone together' introduces a specific circumstance where the aforementioned action ('you never do') is absent.

• Girl you know it's been a while

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous, Contraction

  ➔ 'It's been a while' indicates that a period of time has passed since something last happened or was experienced. It implies a duration without being specific.

• They say a picture's worth a thousand words

  ➔ Present Simple (general truth), Possessive ('s)

  ➔ This is a common idiom expressing that a single image can convey a complex message or emotion. The 's in 'picture's' indicates possession: the worth belongs to the picture.

• But you ain't said one since you woke up

  ➔ Present Perfect Negative (colloquial), Subordinate Clause (since)

  ➔ 'Ain't' is a colloquial contraction of 'have not' (in this context, relating to the Present Perfect). 'Since you woke up' indicates the starting point from which no words have been spoken.

• Silly me thinkin' we could make it work

  ➔ Gerund (thinkin'), Modal Verb (could), Ellipsis

  ➔ 'Thinkin'' is a gerund functioning as part of the phrase, indicating a continuous action. 'Could make it work' expresses a past possibility that didn't materialize. Ellipsis occurs, implying 'it was silly of me'.

• Can you blame me for getting my hopes up?

  ➔ Modal Verb (can), Preposition + Gerund (for getting)

  ➔ 'Can you blame me' is a rhetorical question that seeks understanding or justification. 'For getting my hopes up' uses the structure 'preposition + gerund' to explain the reason for the possible blame.
