It's time to tell my story
of a girl I used to know
Always cried into her pillow
under pinups on the wall
She didn't make Italia Conte
didn't get that TV show
Then a nice man said he'd help her
with a new portfolio

Missus be Missus E Missus A-you-T
Missus I Missus F-you-L
I'm gonna reach the top
I ain't ever gonna stop
and I'm sure gonna ring your bell
Missus D Missus I Missus F-F-I
Missus see Missus you-L-T
If ever there's a girl
that could rock your world
Then that girl sure is me
(right!)

(Chorus)
So the fun won't start til she's living it up
feeling good on top of the pops
Can you make it me plus one?
Dress falls down at the aftershow
She breaks down in the video
Think you'll find it's me plus one

Now this wannabe seniorita
met a group of likely girls
Traded posters and the voxpops
for jetting round the world
But it didn't make her happy
and now she flies alone
The wrong pictures in the paper
and no one back at home

The people around you
won't tell you how it is
Don't you think it's gone on long enough?
Take a look at yourself
Get out of the car
You know it's time
you've got to let it go

    A rags-to-riches-to-ragsn tale.

    Girl dreams of being a star and cries because she isn't one. The chorus shows how she's going to be big news and that it'll start off great, but end badly.

    "People around you Won't tell you how it is Don't you think it's gone on long enough? Take a look at yourself Get out of the car You know it's time You've got to let it go It's gone" = You don't know what it's like till you've been thereand you can be chewed up and spat out at any time.

    Song Meaning

    It's about Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls, or at least the part about "get out of the car." Richard X and Hannah Robinson wrote the song "Some Girls" and decided to give it to Rachel Stevens instead of Geri Halliwell. Geri locked herself in a car in an attempt to get them to change their minds, but they didn't.

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.
