Do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

Here's the thing
I was minding my own business doin' what I do
I wasn't tryna look for anything
All of a sudden couldn't take my eyes off you
I didn't even know if you could tell
That you had me in a daze
Sayin' 'what the hell'
Here's my name, number
Baby just hit my cell
Loving everything you do
'Cause you do it well
Don't know what you got me thinkin'

You ain't even tryina play me boy
'Cause you're so good, and you're so fine
Got me sayin' crazy things, listen

I ain't ever met a man like that, no
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast, no
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

I ain't ever met a man like that, no
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast, no
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well, oh yeah

Let me tell you how its gonna go
You and me, gonna need a little privacy
I Don't wanna do the dance, no do-si-do
I need a one woman man seven days a week
Quit tryna play it cool
Boy make your move
I told you how it is
Nothin' to lose
You been starin' over here all night for free
And I ain't takin' no cash or credit, just a guarantee
There ain't nobody else but me boy

You ain't even tryna play me boy
'Cause you're so good, and you're so fine
Got me sayin' crazy things, listen

I ain't ever met a man like that, no
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast,no
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

Baby not lookin' for false pretenses
I think you just shocked me to my senses
Everything that you do feels right
Do it, do it
Do it, do it all night

Baby not lookin' for false pretenses
I think you just shocked me to my senses
Everything that you do feels right
Do it, do it
Do it, do it all night

I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
