Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
What a sweet sweet baby
Why do you want to hurt me?
I'm king of the road
Well you don't know darlin'
Too much harder to roam?

First you tell me you're hurting
Then you tell me
You don't need me anyway
You've got nothin' to learn
You've chained me baby
I will break you to get free

Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
What a sweet sweet baby
Why do you want to hurt me?
I'm king of the road
Well you don't know darlin'
Too much harder to roam?

You think you got what I need
You build me up to keep me down here on my knees
So you better leave me alone
Your heart is too full
Baby just let go of me

    this song is so good and so empowering for people who identify with what she's saying. I'm so glad Canto XII got the right words up there, the lyrics that were oringinally posted were totally wrong.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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/

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
