I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but

Sittin' here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I'm wonderin' if I have to do without you
But there's no reason why
I fell asleep late last night
Cryin' like a newborn child
Holdin' myself close
Pretendin' my arms are yours
I want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but

I still remember to the day
In fact is was a third Monday
You came along to be the one for me
and now I'm alone
I'm sittin' here by the phone
Call and say that you're okay
So that I'll have the chance to beg you to stay
I want no one but you

I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (I get, I get)
Can't let just anybody hold me (can't let)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
I want no one but you

I get so lonely (every time I see your face, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me (every time I hear your name)
You are the one (I can't believe)
That lives in me, my dear (that you and me are no longer)
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (every time I see your face, babe, ooh)
Can't let just anybody hold me (every time I hear your name)
You are the one (you are the love)
That lives in me, my dear (that lives in me, baby)
Want no one but-

Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
Ooh
You know that I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you
Ooh-hoo
No, whoa, ohh, no

I get so lonely (I get lonely when I hear your name)
Can't let just anybody hold me (I get lonely when I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (get lonely when I hear your name)
Can't let just anybody hold me (I get lonely when I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you (I don't want no one else but you)

I get so lonely (every time I see your face, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me (every time I hear your name)
You are the one (you are the love)
That lives in me, my dear (that lives in me, baby)
Want no one but you (ooh, ohh)
I get so lonely (every time I hear your name, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me (every time I see you face)
You are the one (I can't believe)
That lives in me, my dear (that you and me are no longer)
Want no one but you

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
