Grammaire:

Oh, she may be weary

➔ Verbe modal "may" exprimant la possibilité/l'incertitude

➔ Le verbe modal "may" indique qu'il est possible ou probable qu'elle soit "weary" (fatiguée), mais ce n'est pas une affirmation définitive.
And young girls they do get wearied

➔ "Do" emphatique + verbe

➔ Le mot "do" est utilisé pour mettre l'accent sur le verbe "get wearied". Il ajoute un poids émotionnel et affirme la déclaration.
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah

➔ Participe présent "Wearing" fonctionnant comme un adjectif modifiant "girls"

➔ "Wearing" décrit les filles, indiquant qu'elles sont celles qui portent la "shaggy dress" (robe défraîchie). La phrase raccourcit la phrase.
Just anticipating For things that she'll never possess, yeah, yeah

➔ Futur avec "will" (she'll) exprimant une prédiction.

➔ "She'll never possess" utilise le futur pour indiquer que l'orateur pense qu'elle ne possédera ni n'aura ces choses à aucun moment dans le futur.
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no

➔ Utilisation de "not just" pour limiter la portée d'une description.

➔ "Not just sentimental" suggère qu'il y a plus dans la situation que simplement des sentiments émotionnels. Il y a d'autres facteurs impliqués.
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah

➔ Voix passive ("are spoke") utilisée de manière non conventionnelle pour mettre l'accent

➔ L'expression "are spoke" est grammaticalement incorrecte, mais elle est utilisée ici à des fins artistiques et pour attirer l'attention sur la façon dont les mots sont prononcés doucement. L'expression la plus typique serait "are spoken".
Hold her where you want her

➔ Mode impératif avec une proposition subordonnée adverbiale de lieu.

➔ "Hold her" est un ordre. "Where you want her" est une proposition qui vous dit *où* la tenir.
Don't tease her

➔ Impératif négatif.

➔ Le mot "don't" rend l'impératif "tease her" négatif, ce qui signifie que vous ne devriez pas faire cette action.
