Grammar:
-
That's the way (I like it)
➔ Subject-Verb-Complement with elliptical clause
➔ "That's the way" is the subject-verb-complement. The full phrase is "That's the way (that) I like it." The relative pronoun "that" is omitted. This is a common feature in informal English.
-
When you take me, by the hand
➔ Prepositional Phrase indicating manner/instrument
➔ The phrase "by the hand" uses the preposition "by" to describe how the action (taking) is performed. It means "with your hand".
-
Tell me I'm, your loving man
➔ Subject Complement (Adjective)
➔ Here, "loving" is an adjective describing the noun "man." The phrase "your loving man" is acting as the subject complement of the verb "am" (I'm).
-
And do it babe, girl yes you can
➔ Imperative Clause + Affirmative Statement with emphasis.
➔ "Do it" is an imperative. "Yes, you can" is an affirmative statement used to emphasize the possibility or ability of the subject.
-
When I get to, be in your arms
➔ Infinitive of purpose after 'get to'
➔ "Get to" often means 'have the opportunity/ability'. The infinitive phrase "be in your arms" describes the purpose or outcome of the ability achieved. Note that a comma is unnaturally placed in this lyric.
-
When you turn, turn me on
➔ Phrasal Verb
➔ "Turn on" is a phrasal verb that means to excite or arouse someone. The first "turn" is the verb, and "on" is the particle.
