I Don't Wanna Be in Love (Good Charlotte cover)

Metro Station

She's going out to forget they were together
All this time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see if there's more
Than he gave what she's looking for
He calls her up Hes trippin on the phone now
He doesnt want her out there
And alone now
He knows shes movin it
Knows shes using it
Now hes losing it
She dont care

Everybody put up your hands
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If youve got nothing left
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Back it up now
Youve got a reason to live
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Feelin' good now
Dont be afraid to get down
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love

He was always giving her attention
Looking hard to find the things she mentioned
He was dedicated
But most suckers hate it
That girl was fine
But she didnt appreciate him

She calls him up
Shes tripping on the phone now
He had to get up
And he aint comin home now
Hes tryin to forget her
Thats how we come with him
When he first met her
When they first got together

Everybody put up your hands
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Feel the beat now

If you got nothing left

Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Back it up now
You got a reason to live
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Feelin' good now
Dont be afraid to get down
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love

To the beat (x3)
You got nothing to lose
Dont be afraid to get down

We break up
Its something that we do now
Everyone has got to do it sometime
Its okay, let it go
Get out there and find someone

Its too late to be trippin' on the phone here
Get off the wire
You know everything is good here
Stop what youre doin'
You dont wanna ruin
The chance that you got to
Find a new one

Everybody put up your hands
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you got nothing left
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Back it up now
You got a reason to live
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love
Feelin' good now
Dont be afraid to get down
Say I dont wanna be in love
I dont wanna be in love

Nooo...Noooo

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
