Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh

It started off, we were two peas in the pod
Motivated by love with the blessings of God
We were head over heels in this love thing
Funny ain't it thinkin' back, our friends thought it was just a fling
I used to call you on the phone, late night tip
Mackin' to you in your ear, conversation well equipped
I used to make you laugh, I used to make you smile
But all the while your roommates were in denial
We felt a lot of jealousy from the very start
Your so-called friends kept tryin to tear us apart
They used to tell you all kinda lies
Just like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the devil came in disguise
They transformed all your smiles into tears
To sabotage your happiness and blamed it on my busy career
I gave you e'rythang, aimin' to please
But I guess it wasn't enough, cause now you ready to leave
But don't go baby

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh

Lil' momma been down with me for a while
When you tryin' to smile I'm the one you like to dial
But lately I've been on a mission for commission
So while you at home wishin' you was with me I've been missin'
But listen I'm tryin' to lace you up with diamonds that glisten
I got a vision so baby you need to kill all the fiction
Don't listen to what your friends sayin', they just jealous
'Cause they on the sidelines watchin' while you in the game playin'
I'm just sayin' you should be stayin', but I ain't trippin'
I'm in love with my money baby that's how I'm livin'
You know I got you on my mind like an edge up
And all of your naggin' me and whinin' it got me fed up
I'm on the grind hustlin', stackin' my cash
But you just thank I'm in the streets chasin' after some ass
Tryin' to break that bread, I'm tryin' to get that cake
But you complainin' talkin' 'bout you fin' to skate, baby what it do

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh

I'm tryin' to tell you 'bout your friends hatin'
While they be over there complainin' I'm just on my grind paper chasin'
You got them insecure thoughts in your mind
But instead of chasin' hoes I be overtime on my grind
You steady listenin' to the gossip in the beauty shop
But all them jealous single females want what you got
They would do anything to take yo' place
'Cause every time I come around they be givin' me that sex face
You ridin' shotgun in the James Bond Benz
With the frog-eyed lens on them 20 inch do rims
So why you worried about your jealous so-called friends
I'm just on my grind tryin' to stack me up some ends baby
I used to make you laugh, I used to make you smile
And all the while your jealous friends been in denial
I ain't askin' much, lil' momma just keep it real
Either you're down with me or not, baby what's the deal

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how
Oh girl

    Wow, I can't believe I'm the first to comment on this....

    Self-explanatory song if you listen.... They were perfect for each other. In the beginning all their friends thought it was just a fling - they'd never actually start a real relationship. All her so-called friends kept trying to keep them apart, most likely out of jealousy. To add more fuel to the fire, her friends are saying that he works all the time to be with other girls when actually he's working for the money and to buy her gifts. He knows that they have been telling stories because they want to get with him...lol. So he's just telling her that he does love her and wants to know if she feels the same way too.

    The song is okay. I really like the chorus. (Is that an old song?) But Paul Wall look and sounds like a fool! He looks like a hillbilly dork with ugly teeth.

    Nevermind my question. I found the song. It's "Oh Girl" by the Chi-Lites.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. 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.
