What's up, baby?
I'm so glad I got you here
I'm so in love with you
And I don't ever wanna lose you
I wanna take this to the next level
I hope you ready

Now that you're here
I got something to say, baby (babe)
I think that you should know
You're doing the most, sugar (sugar)
So don't worry 'bout the situation (situation)
I'd never let you go

Can you handle it, if I go there, baby, with you?
I can handle it, I can go there, baby, with you
(Oh, I hear you talking, babe)
Can you handle it, can I go there, baby, with you?
We gon' set it off, we gon' tear it up
Baby, can you handle?

Woo, baby
You say all the time, you only want the best of my love
Now I can see that there's only one way to tear it up, yeah
I'm willing to tell you everything I let stand between us
But what if I tell you too much?

What about you, babe?
Will you tell me all the freaky things you are?
Before I do, need you to know
If we make it through, our love will grow
Ah, ah-oh, imagine how amazing things would be

Can you handle it, can I go there, baby, with you?
We gon' set it off, we gon' tear it up
Baby, can you handle?
I can handle it, I can go there, baby, with you
(Oh, I hear you talking, babe)
We gon' set it out, we gon' work it out
Baby, can you handle?

Woo, ah yeah, baby
I fear sometimes in my mind
That you won't wanna stay with my love
Oh baby, if I can be sure
Inside out that you know exactly the man that comes to see you
I'll go deep as I can
Giving you the rest of my love
But what if I tell you too much?

So much to explore
So much we have yet to discover
I ask myself, "Should I go there?
Should I do it?" (yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Can I give it to you fully?
Can you handle it?

Can you handle it, if I go there, baby, with you? (can I go there?)
We gon' lay it out, we gon' tear it up
Baby, can you handle?
I can handle it, I can go there, baby, with you
We gon' set it out, we gon' work it out
Baby, can you handle?

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
