wake me up and waking up at 3
just in time to make a coffee and watch countdown on tv
and everyday it feels the same
i think you're the one to blame
cause yet again you didn't call me

and if only i was waking up at 9,
moving on with things and laughing
pretending that I'm fine
but in truth i've barely made it out've bed
cos you never text me back and it messes with my head

and i wont stand for that,
(really make it hard for me)
and i won't stand for that
(when it really shouldn't be)
no i won't stand for that
cos its not rocket science its you and me.

and yet again I'm waking up at 4,
but I'm telling you that I've been up for 7 hours
maybe more,
but soon enough i know you'll see whats going on,
cos you're not stupid, you're definitely not stupid

and i wont stand for that,
(when you make it hard for me)
and i won't stand for that
(when it really shouldn't be)
no i won't stand for that
cos its not rocket science, its you and me.

but i'm no good at these things
and i'm no good at these things
and i'm no good at these things
and i'm no good at these things
and im no good at these things

i wont stand for that,
cause you make it hard for me
too knocked up to work out
at least it really shouldn't be
i won't stand for that
cos its not rocket science
its you and me.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
