Hey baby put your hand on my heart
Tell me if you ever felt a heartbeat like this
[Chorus]
Boom boom boom boom boom
Is the sound that you hear
From my heart beating hard like a bass drum
Zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom
As my blood starts to raise through my veins
All I wanna is to be close to you
I like you in those boots, you know just what to do
Girl let me see those tattoos I'm gonna ride with you
Right here's the perfect place for me to kiss and fuck you
I can't wait to taste your sugar
I want to taste your body
I want to taste your face
I want to taste your breast taste below your waste
That's some of my many wishes
Fresh out the bubble bath girl you taste so delicious
From when you leave and go to work and how you blow me kisses
The way you come back to the crib and cook and wash the dishes
It's kinda hard to fight it once the fire is ignited
You feel my heart beat baby you got me so excited
[Chorus]
I can't explain the feelin'
It's such an amazing thing
You like a prize position
A gift to any king or wings
Is only here to protect us
No matter what we go through
And how it might affect us
Tired of the lectures
A piece to tell me to chill
But they don't really understand what I'm tryin' to build
But I brush it off as nothing
Baby let me tell you something
Every single time I see you my adrenalin be rushin'
[Chorus]
Your body is smoking like a Newport
Better yet I'm backwards
You like it in the back seat case baby girl your that hood
I never had it how you put it on me
The way you move is makin' me horny
Man I just wanna kiss you all over you body stretch you like palates
Baby lets get naughty do it how we do fuckin' all around the house
Started on the bed ended up on the couch
Damn I touch you and you touch me
We get closer and you hold me like your holdin'
On for dear life boldly
And we go out on the balcony
And let our bodies wrap up and we fuck
Until the sun come up housekeepin' come and catch us
I don't care tho you takin' it im givin' it we breakin' it
Everything up in the room like a tornado in the makin'
And I'm wildin' and I'm racing baby let me take you down
And while you give it to me let me give it back girl listen to the sound as it goes
[Chorus]
Tell me if you ever felt a heartbeat like this
[Chorus]
Boom boom boom boom boom
Is the sound that you hear
From my heart beating hard like a bass drum
Zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom
As my blood starts to raise through my veins
All I wanna is to be close to you
I like you in those boots, you know just what to do
Girl let me see those tattoos I'm gonna ride with you
Right here's the perfect place for me to kiss and fuck you
I can't wait to taste your sugar
I want to taste your body
I want to taste your face
I want to taste your breast taste below your waste
That's some of my many wishes
Fresh out the bubble bath girl you taste so delicious
From when you leave and go to work and how you blow me kisses
The way you come back to the crib and cook and wash the dishes
It's kinda hard to fight it once the fire is ignited
You feel my heart beat baby you got me so excited
[Chorus]
I can't explain the feelin'
It's such an amazing thing

@[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
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
