  ➔ "Let" + 宾语人称代词 + 不定式 (不带 "to")

  ➔ 结构 "let me give" 使用 "let"，后跟一个宾语人称代词 ("me") 和动词的原形 ("give")。它表达了允许或授权说话者做某事。

• What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

  ➔ 用 "gonna" 表示将来时 (非正式)

  ➔ "Gonna" 是 "going to" 的口语缩写，表示未来的意图。重复强调了该意图。

• There's something you never even thought of, and that is

• I know there are some women gives the other excuse

  ➔ 主谓一致错误 ("women gives")

• Reason why I ask this question

  ➔ 使用 "why" 引导原因的从属子句

  ➔ "why" 用作从属连词，用于介绍提问的原因。完整的句子可能是 "The reason why I ask this question is..."。 在这首歌中 "the reason" 被省略了，这在口语中很常见。
