A Song Analysis: The FIGURES OF SPEECH in Ric Segreto's "Don't Know What to Do"

Don't Know What to Do Sung by Ric Segreto (RIP) I have loved you only in my mind But I know that there will come a time To feel this feeling I have inside You're a hopeless romantic is what they say Falling in and out of love just like a play Memorizing each line, I still don't know what to say What to say... Don't know what to do whenever you are near Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears When you pass by I could fly Every minute, every second of the day I dream of you in the most special way You're beside me all the time All the time... I have loved you and I always will Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel This feeling I have for you inside I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am Memorized all the lines and here I am Struggling for words I still don't know what to say What to say... Don't know what to do whenever you are near Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears When you pass by I could fly Every minute, every second of the day I dream of you in the most special way You're beside me all the time All the time... all the time... all the time... THE FIGURES OF SPEECH IN THE SONG: 1. Simile  Falling in and out of love just like a play The act of falling in and out of love is being compared to a play 2. Metaphor You're a hopeless romantic is what they say The “you” here is being compared to a “hopeless romantic" I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am The “I” or the persona is being compared to a “hopeless romantic" 3. Apostrophe I have loved you only in my mind But I know that there will come a time To feel this feeling I have inside  The persona is talking to an absentee loved one, somebody who is only in the mind 4. Hyperbole Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears Describing the heart as “floating in tears” is clearly an exaggeration When you pass by I could fly This statement by the persona that he/she could fly when the beloved passes by is another exaggeration.     --ARV Source of the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHFohow-3Qw
