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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

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.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
