The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I don't want to go out there
I don't want to know what you're wearing
There are black diamonds in your eyes
And just so you know, your skin is scaling
Have you fucked all the stray kids yet?
They're their sleeping in my backyard
They're just looking out for no one
Except to smoke and piss in good fun
With their dogs and wives and new sons
And their mother never will hug
'Cause she's never really found love
Just a woman who will always lug
Just some honey with a nice shove
And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around
And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around
This woman used to come here
With her daughter and her husband
Now no one sees her husband
'Cause her ass has caught the harvest
And her pants have got a good fill
I noticed underneath the window sill
Well I was jerking with my lemonade
I told him to get fucked and then get laid
Now what do you say to a man who's got no taste
Who's really got no potential
Except to procreate for him essential
And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around
And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
LEMONADE
I don’t want to go back there
I don’t want to know what you’re wearing
There are black diamonds in your eyes
And just so you know
Your skin is scaling
Have you fucked
All those Dragons yet
They’re there sleeping in my backyard
They’re just looking out for no one
Except their smoking pissing good fun
With their dogs and wives and new sons
And the mother never will hug
Cause she’s never really felt love
Just a woman who will always lug
Just some honey with a nice shove
And what I found was that we were all just sleeping around
This girl that use to come here
With her daughter and her husband
Now no one sees her husband
Cause her arse has caught the harvest
And her trousers have got a fill
I noticed underneath the window sill
While I was jerking with my lemonade
I told them to fucked and then get laid
Now what do you say to man whose got no taste
Whose really got no potential
Except to procreate for the human essential
And what I found was that we were all just sleeping around
All we really want to do is love
some corrections<br /> <br /> arse = ass<br /> trousers = pants<br /> <br /> I have an add-on to edit out americanisms, useful sometimes but not for copy/pasting!
