Hey, sexy body, keepin' low key, is with nobody
Chillin' in the spot, so hot
(Eh, eh, oh, oh)
Fellas walk by ya and they wanna try
To get up in your face and holler
Talk about what they got

Don't they know that you're not the type of
Girl to take 'em home for one night
You just came to have a drink

Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending a bottle your way
Put it on my tab, 'cause you had a long day
Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending another your way
Put it on my tab, keep doing your thing
Put it on my tab, oh
Put it on my tab, oh

Hey, pretty lady, lookin' at you,
I'm thinking maybe I could slide up and talk
Feel my active, feeling attraction,
Gotta brother thinking of asking, if I could know your name,
Your age, your sign, what's on your mind

Now you might think that I'm the type of cat,
That wants to hit it tonight
But I just came to have a drink

Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending a bottle your way
Put it on my tab, 'cause you had a long day
Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending my lovin' your way
Put it on my tab, keep doing your thing
Put it on my tab, oh
Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab, oh
Put that drink down on my tab

Hey Mr. Bartender, please make a pina colada
Hold the alcohol, please
And whatever baby girl is sippin' on right there,
You can tell her drinks is on me
'Cause we got money to burn, as if it really grow on trees
'Cause her beautiful body got me willing to party
And she got a big hold on me
And she's holding, oh yes, she's holding
Holding on as much as I'm holding back
Steady, tryin' to keep her mind on me
You're the reason why I'm tossing these stacks
As a matter of fact, tonight the drinks free

Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending a bottle your way
Put it on my tab, 'cause you had a long day, today
Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending another your way
Your way, your way

Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending a bottle your way
Put it on my tab, 'cause you had a long day, today
Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending my lovin' your way
Put it on my tab, keep doing your thing

Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending a bottle your way
Put it on my tab, 'cause you had a long day, today
Put it on my tab, I'm buying, I'm sending my lovin' your way
Put it on my tab, keep doing your thing to me

Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab
Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab
Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab
Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab
Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab
Put that drink down on my tab
Put it on my tab

    Seems pretty clear cut here. There he is relaxing at the bar having a drink and he notices a beautiful woman trying to relax with a drink after a long day, and having to turn away the advances of numerous guys who are reading her all wrong. Hes attracted to her but knows that shes not looking for action, and neither is he really. Being sympathetic he pays for her drinks and decides to just talk to her. Definately a noble move.

    I agree with DigitalVapor Though a lyric was left out

    "Their whips their clothes, their shoes their dough"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
