This ain't go be easy, uh
You got it, you got it
Put it in

Tables turned into a situation
Now you standing in my face and you been patiently waiting
Fumbling over words, forget the conversation
Thinking maybe we could make the combination
Want to see me lose my breathe, want to hear me moan
Better be ready, will and able when we get along
You was talking tough up on in the telephone
So you better put it in when we get it on

No turning back from this party
Put you through enough to come play (hey)
And is not no coming down from this high
My love Do not go nowhere less I say

Look at what you got yourself into
Best take advantage, be all that you can be
Best take advantage, see all that you can see
'Cause this could be a less opportunity that would not be

Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it
Don't come around, keep on letting me down
You got to get it all the way in, I want to see you work

Now you looking like you looking for an explanation
Is the curve on my body for you motivation?
Skip the petty needs, no time for complication
Use both hands to make sure I reach my destination
Better leave a good impression fore you hit the door
'Cause you Do not want me talking about your business on the low
You show it off, I had to fit you in my schedule
So you better put it on me when It is time to go

No turning back from this party
Put you through enough to come play (hey)
And is not no coming down from this high
My love don't go nowhere less I say

Look at what you got yourself into
Best take advantage, be all that you can be
Best take advantage, see all that you can see
'Cause this could be a less opportunity that won't be

Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it
Don't come around, keep on letting me down
You got to get it all the way in, I want to see you work

I is not excepting no excuses, baby (no)
Do not brag about it if you useless baby (no)
You better blow me away, make a girl want to stay
At your spot for another round
It's your chance to prove, don't forget your moves
There is nothing to lose, but me

Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it
Don't come around, keep on letting me down
You got to get it all the way in, I want to see you work
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
