Mmm never could they make the word easy to describe it,
technically it doesn't make any sense at all
I could be with another, someone who catches me
but there's just something I love about
they way that you just let me fall

Oil and water, we don't mix
but somehow this is comfortable, whoa ohh
I could be happy with a girl thats more my speed
but I enjoy trying to keep up with you, whoa ohh
theys why I say I'd rather fight with you, oh baby
I'd rather fight with you, you hear me
I'd rather fight with you, than make love to somebody else

I can't stand it when you get cranky, I despise it
even though more than half of the time it's my fault
you don't like nothing that I like, right when your left
and left when you're right
oh but if it ain't you girl, I'll take nobody at all

Oil and water, we don't mix
but somehow were comfortable
I could be happy with a girl thats more my speed
but I enjoy trying to keep up with you ,whoa ohh
thats why I say I'd rather fight with you,oh baby
I'd rather fight with you, you hear me
I'd rather fight with you, than make love to somebody else

I could find a girl that knows me well but I think that
I'd be bored as hell, see the beautiful thing about you
is that I never can tell

I could be happy with a girl thats more my speed
but I enjoy trying to keep up with you, whoa ohh
theys why I say I'd rather fight with you, oh baby
I'd rather fight with you , you hear me
I'd rather fight with you than make love to somebody else (x3)

    I can personally relate to this. It makes me think back to my last relationship. My ex and I were total opposites but we somehow clicked. It was good, it was comfortable. Guess you could say, "opposites attract". We complemented each other. But then nothing lasts forever, so here we are. I miss her though.. sometimes.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
