My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright

I only have eyes for you, dear

The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky

I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by

They all disappear from view
I only have eyes for you

    The best part about this track, aside from the bass and her mad sexy voice, is that it's SO double-edged. The vocals could be anyone: a passionate albeit odd teenager obsessed with their first real boyfriend/girlfriend or an unhinged, homicidal stalker hiding in the crawlspace under your house.

    I can't help but think of this as the deranged female companion to 'Every Breath You Take'. So what if there's a three decade age difference? They should totally go out together.

    Fixed lyrics:

    - “Don’t you ever wonder what it’s like in there, to be all by yourself like that?” “Yeah.” “Yeah, I know. But he’s weird, you know? Like, I’m surprised he isn’t lookin’ at us right now.”

    - You’re so fine, you’re so cool I need you And I think that if you thought about it you’d know you need me too ‘Cause I want you I want you I want you I want you

    And if I could I’d squeeze your hand so tight every knuckle would crack I’d wrap my arms around you and snap every bone in your back ‘Cause I want you, I want you...

    You’re so smart, you break my heart I like you And I think that if you thought about it you’d know you like me too ‘Cause I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you

    If I could I’d kiss your lips so hard your entire face would bruise Write your name in blood on every wall, it would make the evening news I’d chain your feet together so that you could never leave I’d make you love me so much you’d have to ask permission to breathe

    You’re so fine (I think about you all the time, it’s driving me out of my mind) You’re so cool (Can’t give me what I desire, it burns inside of me like a fire) I need you (I’ll give you everything I’ve got)

    ‘Cause I want you, I want you, I want you I want you, I want you, I want you

    You’re so smart (There is no you, there is no me, together for eternity) You break my heart (I can’t stand to be apart from you, I don’t know what I’m gonna do) I like you (There’s no one but you from the start)

    ‘Cause I want you, I want you, I want you I want you, I want you, I want you I want you, I want you, I want YOU

    It’s up to you, it’s up to you (x3)

    You're so cool.. ( ??????? grow beside me like a fire)

    should be:

    You're so cool... (I can't escape what I desire, it burns inside me like a fire)

    Such an amazing and beautiful song. I love her voice and just what she says in the song. Although, I'm curious what movie the quote from the beginning of the song is from. Anyone know? It must be an 80's film.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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.
