Gramática:
-
JUST 'CAUSE HE LIKED YOUR OLD PICTURE
➔ Conjunção subordinada "just 'cause" introduzindo uma razão.
➔ Aqui, "just 'cause" significa "just because". A frase introduz uma razão que a cantora descarta como insuficiente para tirar conclusões. É coloquial.
-
DON'T MEAN HE STUCK ON THE PAST
➔ Verbo "mean" com uma cláusula como seu objeto; "stuck on" como um verbo frasal significando obcecado por.
➔ "Don't mean" implica que a ação (gostar da foto) não implica necessariamente a conclusão (ele está obcecado com o passado). "Stuck on" é uma forma informal de dizer que alguém não consegue superar algo.
-
IF HE LOVED YOU, HE WOULD TELL YOU
➔ Estrutura de frase condicional do segundo tipo: "If + pretérito simples, would + infinitivo".
➔ Isto expressa uma situação hipotética e seu resultado provável. Implica que ele não te ama, já que não te disse.
-
IF HE WANTS YOU TO MEET HIS MOMMA

➔ A estrutura "want someone to do something" expressa um desejo ou uma expectativa. É parte de uma condicional do tipo 1.
-
THEN HE WOULD BRING YOU HOME
➔ "Would + infinitivo" expressando um resultado condicional.
➔ Esta é a cláusula de resultado da frase condicional. Indica o que aconteceria se a condição fosse cumprida (se ele quiser que você conheça a mãe dele).
-
OH, THERE AIN'T NO EXCUSE
➔ Dupla negação: "ain't no" usado para enfatizar na fala informal.
➔ "Ain't" é uma contração não padrão de "am not", "is not" ou "are not". A dupla negação, embora gramaticalmente incorreta no inglês formal, enfatiza a falta de qualquer desculpa.
-
HE AIN'T MISTER MISUNDERSTOOD
➔ Uso de "ain't" (forma negativa não padrão) e do artigo definido "Mister".
➔ "Mister Misunderstood" é usado ironicamente, sugerindo que ele não é alguém que merece empatia ou desculpas. O uso de "ain't" contribui para o tom informal e conversacional.
-
QUIT LYING TO YOURSELF
➔ Frase imperativa com uma frase gerúndio-participial como objeto da preposição "to".
➔ "Quit" é usado no modo imperativo para dizer a alguém para parar de fazer algo. "Lying" funciona como um gerúndio, o objeto da preposição "to".
