When we're all, all alone

When you whisper, sweet in my ear

When you turn, turn me on

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.
