It's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back
To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires

Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy
Make our goal each other's happiness
I will do for you anything that I can
Oh, everyday I want to do a little more
Do a little more, just a little bit more

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, and that's a fact
It's so good wantin' somebody
And that somebody wants you back

Said it's so good

Oh, oh
To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

Said not seventy-thirty
Not sixty-forty
Talkin' 'bout a fifty-fifty love

Said it's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said not seventy-thirty
Not sixty-forty
Talkin' 'bout a five-fifty love, yeah

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah
It's so good, good

I'm so glad that there's you
I've experienced over and over when
I've given eighty percent and she's given twenty percent
Now she's givin' seventy percent and I'm givin' thirty
But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody that you can share your whole life
Somebody that you don't mind talkin' to
Somebody that you don't mind goin' down middle of the road
I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you
I don't know when the last time I told you but girl, you make me so very happy
I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to have
Talkin' 'bout a fifty-fifty love, yeah

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.

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.
