Yo, yo
Yo, this song, yo (yo, yo, yo)
This song is for all the women out there (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)
That have been lied to by their men
And I know y'all been lied to
Over and over again, this is for y'all
Yo, maybe you didn't break the way you shoulda broke, yo
But I break, know what I'm saying, so
This is how it goes, yo
Psss, damn
Yo

Last year, Valentine's Day
You would spoil me and say
"Babe, I love you, love you, babe, I swear" (yo, he's lying)
Held you when you were sick, even
The whole time I think to myself, "This isn't fair"

What is this I see (no)
You don't come home to me (oh, no)
When you don't come home to me (man)
Can't deal, can't bear

You keep tellin' me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I found her red coat
And you're caught out there

I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now

So sick of your games, I'll set your truck to flames
And watch it blow up, blow up, tell me (hahaha)
How you gonna see it now
So far from sincere (I love you)
Fabrications in my ear
Drive me so far up the wall
I come slidin' down

What is this I see (I don't believe this)
You don't come home to me
When you don't come home to me
I can't deal, can't bear (I won't)

You keep tellin' me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I hope you're happy
Since you're caught out there (yeah, you've been caught)

Yo, yo (yo, come on)
Yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo (come on)
Yo, yo, yo

I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now

(She's so)
Raunchy, so vulgar, not me, why the hell her?
Look, she dresses (look at her)
A mess, what do you see? (I don't know)
It's not all about cash (hell, no)
Not how much you flash
How I dress is a reflection of me

What is this I see
You don't come home to me (uh-uh)
When you don't come home to me
Can't deal, can't bear (told you I won't)

You keep tellin' me lies
But to your surprise
Look, I got somethin' for y'all
Since you're caught out there

I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much right now
Ah
I hate you so much right now

Yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo

    um, this song was taught to a bunch of seventh graders, my class, and our parents threatened to sue the music teacher. Really bad.

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.

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/
