Ain't it a funny thing, how you run to me
When he sends you spinning out of control to the ninth degree
You know I make it right, I'm at your command
You can tell me anything you want, you know I'm gonna understand

I won't let you down, break it down-d-down-d-down
Never let you down, break it down

Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that, hey

So should I shut my mouth, and should I hide my heart
Or should I let it out into the light, that you and him should be apart
Is he hangin' on, to every word you speak
Does he rub your back and play with your hair until you fall asleep
I don't think so, baby

I won't let you down, break it down-d-down-d-down
Never let you down, break it down

Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that

He might say he's in love with you
But he'll never do the things that I can do
You can be your watch with the diamond band
Because I know your better than the back of your hand

Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that

Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
Baby I'm the only one, oh oh oh
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that

Now, hey-yo
I'm the only one who can love ya, love ya, love ya, like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
(who can love ya like that)
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
(tell me baby who can love ya like that)

Hey-yo, do ya like it like that (nobody baby)
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that (nobody baby)
No one can love ya like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that

    I agree with you, at first most are probably like oh just another Guy Sebastian song hahahahha, why don't we Aussie's love our Idols as much as the American's love theirs? Anyway, it is a good song, and I like the meaning behind it... he knows he can give her more than her current partner, cuz he doesn't treat her like she deserves and takes her for granted. He won't. I like it haha.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
