Oh, oh
Oh, here I go again
Falling in love all over
Oh, the cycle never ends
You just pray you don't get burned

Oh, this fire inside of me
Don't nobody realize
Oh, what you are to me
But baby you got to learn

I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
You got to know how I feel about you
How I always want you near

I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
I'm counting every minute of every hour
'Til you are here

Girl, can you understand
I never used to go dancing
I, I was the kind of man who rather stay at home
Now, when I think about
H-how much I miss you
I want to jump for joy
And thank hIm I'm not alone (i am not alone)

Oh, I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
You got to know how I feel about you baby
How I always want you near

I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere
I'm gonna count every minute of every hour
Until you are here ('til you are here)

Oh oh (oh oh oh)
Hey, hey
Here I go again
Falling in love all over
Oh, the cycle never ends (cycle never endin')
You pray you don't get burnt, awh

I'm making you a coat (I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere)
Cashmere, baby, cashmere (you got to know how I feel about you)
You got to know (how I always want you near)
Yeah baby, baby, baby, baby (I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere)

How I feel about you
How I feel about you

(I'm counting every minute of every hour, 'til you are here)

When I get my arms around you baby (yeah)
So many things I'm gonna do (pink cashmere)

I'm gonna hug you (you got to know how I feel about you)
I'm gonna kiss you (how I always want you near)
Like your, like your guru (I'm making you a coat of pink cashmere)

I want to tell you a bedtime story baby
I you never heard before (I'm counting every minute of every hour, every hour)
I said one you never heard before (how I feel about you)

About a girl (coat of pink cashmere)
About a boy
And all their joy
All the things they show each other (coat of pink cashmere)

How to stay in love
How to stay so happy
Baby girl (coat of pink cashmere)
So many things
So many things
I'm gonna do

Can't you come to me? (Coat of pink cashmere)
Can't you get to me?
I'm gonna make gonna I'm gonna gonna gonna 'onna
I'm gonna make a little pretty pink coat of cashmere

'Cause you've got to know
How I feel about you babe
How I feel about you babe
I'm gonna make a little pretty coat
I'm gonna count every second, every minute
Each and every hour of every day

'Til you come on back
Come on back
To your little man

Gonna make you a coat of cashmere baby

    It's very interesting to hear Prince write from this perspective. It reminds me of "When you Were Mine". The longing in this song isn't as desperate as it's depicted usually in songs.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
