Key Grammar Structures

• And I probably shouldn't want this so bad

  ➔ Modal verb + negative + base form of verb (shouldn't want)

  ➔ The use of 'shouldn't' expresses a sense of obligation or advice that is not being followed. It indicates the speaker recognizes a desire is unwise, but still feels it. The phrase 'want this so bad' uses the intensifier 'so' to emphasize the strength of the desire.

• It's weighing, weighing on me

  ➔ Present continuous tense for ongoing state/feeling, repetition for emphasis.

  ➔ The repetition of 'weighing' emphasizes the heavy emotional burden the speaker is experiencing. The present continuous ('is weighing') shows this is a current, ongoing feeling, not a temporary one.

• I know I shouldn't be doing this, but here we go again

  ➔ Modal verb + negative + gerund (shouldn't be doing), conjunction 'but' introducing a contrasting idea, idiomatic expression 'here we go again'.

  ➔ This sentence demonstrates internal conflict. The speaker acknowledges their actions are wrong ('shouldn't be doing this') but succumbs to temptation anyway. 'Here we go again' implies this is a recurring pattern.

• Girl, you know that pussy is my weakness

  ➔ Direct address ('Girl'), declarative statement, possessive pronoun ('my'), informal/slang vocabulary.

  ➔ This line is very direct and uses slang. The possessive 'my' emphasizes the personal connection to the weakness. The use of 'Girl' is a common form of address in some musical genres.
