Do do do do wah ohhh
Do do do do wah

The love was standing on is shakey ground
There ain't no way on earth to hold you down
And every road I take to you instead oh losing ooh yea ha

I gonna find a boat to row away
Where I won't be reaching for you night and day
Where there's no windows ain't no doors
To let your love in ooh I, I

[Chorus]
I can't quit your love, ooh yea
No matter how hard I try to
I can't quit your love, no I can't
I keep running back to you
You know I can't quit your love ooh yeah!

You snap your fingers and I feel on fire
Like silly spinning wheels of desire
You have to be a bird with wings to get me higher

The minor things for me has lose control
The weakness of my judgment rules my soul
You know you got each claim in me after the wire ooh!

I can't quit your love, ooh yea
No matter how hard I try to
I can't quit your love, no I can't
I keep running back to you
You know I can't quit your love

Can't quit your love, baby
Can't quit your love
Can't quit your love
Can't quit your love
I can't quit your love

Do do do do wha, ha

I can't quit your love, ooh yea
No matter how hard I try to
(can't quit, can't quit, can't quit, can't quit)
I can't quit your love, can't quit your love
I keep running back to you
(can't quit, can't quit, can't quit, can't quit)

I can't quit your love, ooh yea
No matter how hard I try to
(can't quit, can't quit, can't quit, can't quit)
I can't quit your love, can't quit your love
I keep running back to you
(can't quit, can't quit, can't quit, can't quit)

I can't quit your love, ooh yea
No matter how hard I try to
(can't quit, can't quit, can't quit, can't quit)

    Song Meaning

    It's about someone trying to let somebody go but they just can't. The first verse has him acknowledging the fact that their relationship is headed south and then trying to shut the girl out by attempting to lock himself away from her. He wants to lock her (and her love) out and away.

    The last verse though has him admitting that she has some type of power over him, he can't leave her & that his judgement is weak when it comes to her.

Fast Car
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.

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.

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.

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.
