Just Good Friends

Michael Jackson

Na na na na na na na nah!

Hoo hoo!
Dancin' hee!
Doggone lover!

C'mon boy

I watched you on the floor
Cheek to cheek
She's getting to you
You didn't see her eyes on
Me no
She looked right through you
(Before you make)
Before you make
(A big mistake)
Remember
That looks can fool you
Babe hee!

There's something I would
Sure appreciate
(If you can keep a secret)

Baby loves me
But she never shows
She cares
(No, you won't see her kiss
And hug me)
Baby loves me
No she acts like I'm
Not there
(That doesn't mean she
Doesn't love me-ooo)

If they ask her
Tell 'em that we're just
Good friends

Dah! Chika-chika-chika-ah!
Just good friends

Ah! Chika-chika-ah!
Ooo
(Doot-do-do-doo)
Hee! Aaow!
Just good friends

You better take advice
Never trust-first impressions
I tried to hide this affair
From their suspicions

So even if she's asking you
To stay
You better know where
You stand
(You better know where
You stand)

Baby loves me
Though she never shows
She cares
(No, you won't see her kiss
And hug me)
My baby loves me
Though she acts like I'm
Not there
(That doesn't mean she
Doesn't love me-ooo)

Now if they ask you
Jus' tell 'em that we're just
Good friends

Yes, just good friends
(Just good friends)
Root-do-do-do
(Doot-do-do-do)
Just good friends

Listen up, hee
We've got a
Problem here

I can see the signs

I guess the lady

Is still making up her mind

(Mind)
(Say we're just good friends)

Baby loves me
Though she never shows
She cares
(Never shows she cares)
No you won't see her kiss
And hug me
(Just good friends)
(My baby loves me)

Though she acts like I'm not
There
You doggone lover, hee

Aaow!
(Doot-do-do-doo)

Don't you want to know? My
Baby loves me
Though she never shows
She cares
(Never shows she cares)

Hee! Hee!

She doesn't kiss and hug me
(Just good friends)

My baby loves me
She love me, she love me,
(Never shows she cares)

    I love everything about this song except Stevie's voice is kind of annoying. Michael sounds amazing of course though :)

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
