It ain't easy being this kind of lover when you never call me
It ain't easy being this kind of lover, won't you ever call me
Oh, I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver
Oh, I'm dedicated, sure, I'm a giver
I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver
I'll forgive you always

Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah, turn it on

You don't want to know how I manage alone
Oh no, you don't want to know what goes on when I'm on my own
You don't want to know how I plan on my own, oh no
You don't want to know how I know when you're on your own

I'll never be alone, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'd follow you to Rome, yeah (turn it on)
I know the places you call home, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'll get you on your own, yeah, turn it on

Ah, You know I know where you are
You know I know where you are
You know

I can't have another (you turn it on)
I can't stop thinking of you (you turn it on)
If I can't have you then nobody can
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you turn it on, you turn it on
You turn it on, you turn it on
You turn it on, you turn it on
Woo, you turn it on

    They've changed the lyrics a bit for the album version. He only sings the first verse once now.

    1st verse: "I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver I'm dedicated, yeah, some kind of giver"

    Chorus: "I want to know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on) I want to know you turn it on, yeah, turn it on!"

    Otherwise this is fairly spot on.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
