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.
I cheat on my boyfriend
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend
Even his best friend
Doesn't seem to mind
My boyfriend's name is Dave
And the guy I date is Jay
The football team completes my list
I know the quarterback is gay
But I kissed him anyway
He was passed out
When he found out he was pissed
I try to be a good girl
But that just ain't no fun
'Cause I am just a beauty queen
Looking for someone
Who can take me around
To the places people go
When they want to have a good time
More than you would ever know
I cheat on my boyfriend
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend
Even his best friend
Doesn't seem to mind
So I went out on the town
Just to see what's going down
And I ran into a friend from school
He was in my English class
And he had a real cute ass
So I asked him just to hang out
And he said it sounded cool
I took him to my dorm room
Just so we could talk
My boyfriend kept on calling
So I turned my cell phone off
That's when I heard him knocking on my door
I opened it and smiled
He said "What's that condom for?"
I cheat on my boyfriend
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend
Even his best friend
Doesn't seem to mind
So now that Dave's found out
What I'm really all about
I don't think that he trusts me anymore
But I really like his paychecks
That cover all my bills
And he just bought me this new dress
So now I'm dressed to kill
I guess I'll be more careful
Of when I bring guys home
But when my boyfriend's working
I just can't be alone
Say what you want cause names will never stick
A girl has got her hobbies
Like Charlie Chris and Nick
I cheat on my boyfriend
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend
Even his best friend
Doesn't seem to mind
I cheat on my boyfriend
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend
Even his best friend
Doesn't seem to mind
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend
Even his best friend
Doesn't seem to mind
My boyfriend's name is Dave
And the guy I date is Jay
The football team completes my list
I know the quarterback is gay
But I kissed him anyway
He was passed out
When he found out he was pissed
I try to be a good girl
But that just ain't no fun
'Cause I am just a beauty queen
Looking for someone
Who can take me around
To the places people go
When they want to have a good time
More than you would ever know
I cheat on my boyfriend
Again and again
And I like to do it all the time
I cheat on my boyfriend

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Magical

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.
