Thought everything was perfect but now I' m left deserted
Red handed caught cheating, my heart is beating but why deserve it
I use to love her but now I want to watch her suffer
It makes me sick to my stomach ,thinking she sleeps with others
I wanna break her pictures, I wanna burn her pictures
Everything we had is long and now im glad its gone with her
She wasn' t lying, denying that things were all right
But meanwhile she was up fucking him all night
And All the things that you said are all stuck in my head
I' m such an idiot to let you crawl back into my bed
Those phone numbers in your pockets weren' t mine
So fuck you both and don' t act like it' s the first time

While you were sleeping, I was out creaping
Said I went out with friends but I was cheating
When you were at home I was at his house
Slept in his bed, you slept all alone

We use to be together, thought it would be forever
Until she turned around and ripped my heart right through my sweater
How come you so ungreatful? How come it' s still painful?
Your not so perfect, was it worth it to be unfaithful?
How can I be so naive, sometimes I' m so trusting
She sleeps with me and sleeps with him that' s so discussing
Touching other peoples properties
Obviously your down with O.P.P.
That makes you nature naughty
every thing she told me was a fuckin lie
Everything she ever did was with some other guy
We should of never hooked up, thought you were one of a kind
You want to act like a slut,then do it on your own time

While you were sleeping, I was out creaping
Said I went out with friends but I was cheating
When you were at home I was at his house
Slept in his bed, you slept all alone

I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch
I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch

Oh my god I never knew love was so fatal
She makes Paris Hitlon look like a fucking angel
That back stabbing bitch, what happened made me sick
It' s the same story different authors, man the same old shit
I wanted a perfect girl, it' s not a perfect world
Cuz she' s a superstar, gold digging type of girl
My dear, My dear, My dear, you don' t know me but I know you very well
And let me tell you that you make my life a living hell
I' m living well without you, I doubt you will ever really see the amount of trash you amount too
She' s a part time lover, undercover no class
So take them seat linens and shove them up your ass
I hope you are smart enough to learn from your dumb mistakes
Cuz if not you' ll learn the hard way when the condom breaks

I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch
I never knew it could ever hurt like this
I dedicate this to you, you bitch

    "She sleeps with me and sleeps with him that' s so discussing" Should be "that's so DISGUSTING"

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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/
