Whatcha been doing?
Whatcha been doing?
Whoa, whoa
Haven't seen you around

How you been feeling?
How you been feeling?
Whoa, whoa
Don't you bring me down

All that stuff about me
Being with him can't believe
All the lies that you told
Just to ease your own soul

But I'm bigger than that
No you don't have my back
No, no, ha

Hey how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Well, I'm sorry (I'm sorry) that he called me
And that I answered the telephone
Don't be worried, I'm not with him
And when I go out tonight, I'm going home alone

Just got back from my tour
I'm a mess girl for sure
All I want is some fun
Guess that I better run

Hollywood sucks you in
But it won't spit me out
Whoa, whoa, ha

Hey how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you look at your own life
'Stead of looking into mine?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you're leaving me alone?
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha

Please stop telling all your friends
I'm getting sick of them
Always staring at me
Like I took him from ya

Hey how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you look at your own life
'Stead of looking into mine?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you're leaving me alone?
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Whoa, whoa, whoa (ha)
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend
Whoa, whoa, whoa (ha)
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend

    I don't understand what you mean by "Ashlee has gotten a lil of her sis in her in this video..."?

    I don't see Jessica in her at all.

    haha. Ashlee Simpson is just-out there. I actually like this song. Infectiously catchy, in a way.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
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.
