It only takes a minute girl
It only takes a minute girl
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only takes a minute girl
To fall in love, to fall in love

What's an hour of the day
We throw at least one away
And walk the streets for half the year
To try to find a new career
If you get a flu attack
For thirty days you're on your back
Doing not a single dance
Baby give me half a chance

It only takes a minute girl (only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love

Now in the unemployment lines
You can spend your life reading signs
Waiting for your interview
They can shoot the whole day for you

Now winter's gonna turn to spring
And you haven't accomplished a thing
So baby can't you make me just a little time
'Cause you never know what's on my mind

It only takes a minute girl (only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love

It only takes a minute girl (that's one minute)
To fall in love (to fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (just one minute )
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)

Alright let's go
Dance, come on now
Dance
Dance, come on now

Dance, come on now
Dance
Dance, come on now

It only takes a minute girl (please just one minute)
To fall in love (just one minute) to fall in love (just one minute)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute, girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)

It only takes a minute girl (that's one minute)
To fall in love, to fall in love, (just one minute)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)

It only takes a minute girl (please just one minute)
To fall in love (to fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (only takes a minute, girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love

    My Opinion

    IMHO - it's about Falling in Love and the guy asking the Girl to take a chance on Him.

    This song is such a dance classic...It's a 'Taveres' cover that the Band did...But what i love about TT is that they only released 4 covers in the bands history, but for each cover that they released...They were able to make the cover their own, but at the same time not take away from the original...

    I love how they added a banging synth lick to the song...It's pop, but at the same time Dance/Euro and so Fun/bouncy/refreshing for your typical 'Boyband'...and when you hear it you just wanna jump around like a teenager no matter what your age....

    like many of their songs, even when the guys broke up these songs never went away, and were able to last the test of time...Unlike other generic 'Boybands'....TT will leave behind an excellent Back Catalog, and a well deserved music legacy <33

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
