The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Oh can I run away with you,
I wanna get lost in love baby,
To all those pretty girls
(Pretty girls)
This ones for you
(This ones for you)

Something about you baby
Drives me crazy
Something about this pretty girl
Blows my mind,
Something about you baby

Something about this pretty girl
Blows my mind
Si tu supieras lo que siento,
Cada ves que me pongo a pensar en todo los momentos.
All the good times we had me and you you and I,
Hot summer nights making love in July.
The only girl that didn't give it on the first night.
Una mujer incomparable imma love for life.
Me captivaste with your ways and all the things you do.
My pretty girl, I gotta make it work with you.
Tell the world, tell you girls and your family,
Con este anillo te prometo, your my every thing.
Cause nobody's ever made me feel the way you do.
I jus dropped you off already miss you.
Chica bonita, sonrisa sinsera.
I wanna be with you hasta que me muera.
Lets make a pact and always be together,
With you by my side girl I'm down for whatever.
Something about you baby
Drives me crazy
Something about this pretty girl
Blows my mind,
Something about you baby

You stood out from the group from across the room.
I had to keep my attention on you.
Something about that pretty face that pretty smile.
You couldn't help but to get lost in those pretty eyes.
Yeah this girl she had it all,
The type of woman you take to mother
Saying look what I found, love and companionship.
Someone to talk through these rough times who ain't afraid to handle it.
And understand that my life is different and accepts it.
This isn't what I expected.
Yeah she's beautiful inside and out.
Something hard to find in the world these days.
Even on my worst day,
She's got me happy like a kid waking up on his birthday.
Yeah this love was different it was based on friendship.
I'm letting you know I'm ready to ride out with you.
Something about you baby
Drives me crazy
Something about this pretty girl
Blows my mind,
Something about you baby
Drives me crazy
Something about this pretty girl
Blows my mind
What's up little shortie can we talk for a minute.
I've been having dreams and you been all up in em'.
I know you don't know me I've seen you around.
Your the hottest looking honey that I seen in this town.
Come on lets conversate, take a walk get together.
Just wanna know you a little bit better.
Beauty incomparable eyes drove me crazy.
She that type I wanna have for my lady.
Something about you don't know what it is.
I know we just met but can I give you a kiss.
Grabbed her hand and she hugged me, acting kinda shy.
Dimples on your face got you looking pretty fly.
Baby this is real talk I wanna be with you.
Little did I know, you were digging me too.
Now I'm down on my knees got you saying I do.
So I had to write a song dedicated to you.
Something about you baby
Drives me crazy
Something about this pretty girl
Blows my mind,

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

Head > Heels

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
