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've got to go out
I won't be late
You've got to put your trust in me
I swear I shall not forsake
Hey little darling, I won't be late
Oh pretty baby, don't you lie awake
I'll give you love when I get home
It won't be long, it won't be long
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
I won't be late, I won't be late
When you talk yourself to sleep that way
Won't you dream that I'll be in your arms again, again, again
Oh pretty baby when I walk through the door
You'll be wonderin' what I did it for
Tell me, darling, tell me please
Why you miss me so badly
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Suspicion, suspicion
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
When I'm away I get afraid
When I feel when I'm away
With my deep blue eyes
My deep blue eyes
Suspicion
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Suspicion, suspicion
Suspicion, suspicion
I love you, I love you, I love you
Do it like this, do it like this
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you...
I won't be late
You've got to put your trust in me
I swear I shall not forsake
Hey little darling, I won't be late
Oh pretty baby, don't you lie awake
I'll give you love when I get home
It won't be long, it won't be long
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
I won't be late, I won't be late
When you talk yourself to sleep that way
Won't you dream that I'll be in your arms again, again, again
Oh pretty baby when I walk through the door
You'll be wonderin' what I did it for
Tell me, darling, tell me please
Why you miss me so badly
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Suspicion, suspicion
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
When I'm away I get afraid
When I feel when I'm away
With my deep blue eyes
My deep blue eyes
Suspicion
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Suspicion, suspicion
Suspicion, suspicion
I love you, I love you, I love you
Do it like this, do it like this
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you
Of course I love you, of course I love you
You know I love you, you know I love you...

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.

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.
