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.

A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(DJ Paul)
Man, I'll shoot a bitch in the face if she try to fuck with me
Or try to tell lies and shit and turn me against my fuckin peeps
A hoe will tell a nigga this, a hoe will tell a nigga that
A hoe will tell a nigga anything to try and get back
Had another nigga who she hollin that he down wit
Make them nigga's grab nine's, make them nigga's cry and shit
A lot of y'all stupid ass nigga's, fall for these hoes
Suck the dick and fuckin stuck you now anything goes
Sluggin luchi out, pay no bill's so you ain't mine
A million hoes on my side, two million can't stand
You dealin wit a nigga who like to grab hoes and choke
Two days ago, I'm in trail found out Ms. Pu was no joke
A lot of ladies want to be the mother, they need's to quit
I'm strappin trojans god, I ain't tryin to land shit
But back to weak friends, who let hoes turn them against me cool
When I kill you, I'm killin dat hoe to
And dat's fa sho
Chorus
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(Make you hate the very day you even touched the draws)
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(Saw a playa nigga ridin close against the stalls)
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(I bet you had to get crossed up wit the laws)
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(Fuck all these bitches, fuck all yall)
(Lord Infamous)
These bitches are ridiculous, they fakin images and form
Hell has no fury like a motherfuckin woman scorn
They poppin corn, nightly long, flossin wit the carnege on
All the fuckin time she tryin get up into your pockets more
No housin us, slap the tramp, hit her wit the sonyia
Tell the bitch she better bail, lock her out your fuckin house
Cause man a hoe will screw ya, she'll try to have your junior
To take all your loot-uh so slap her wit da ruger
Man I tell these bitches that work for damn
And all this love is just a scam
Kaiser Soze fuck you baby lady baby miss fuck you ma'am
Just because we fuck ya pooty tang
Don't mean your worth some change
Bitch you ain't needy, you just conseeded
So stay up out of our faces mayne, you ain't gettin a fuckin thang
Clean your fuckin tweedy, and stop being greedy
Bitches tryin to knock, knock, knocky on your jock
Tryin to get a style fuckin piece of your rock
Chorus
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(Make you hate the very day you even touched the draws)
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(Saw a playa nigga ridin close against the stalls)
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(I bet you had to get crossed up wit the laws)
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
(Fuck all these bitches, fuck all yall)
(Juicy J)
They heard the album had went gold my phone
Ringin up my hoes, said they heard I bought a house
Through the streets someone had told
Bout a little fuckin bitch, playin scams to make it rich
Evey night after we fuck, I used to beat her with my fist
Drag a hoe down on the ground, like a nigga trained a hound
Till she said she was pressin charges
(I'ma see you downtown nigga)
Oh shit, what can I do to the one wit boys and blue
If a nigga got to jail that's gonaa set back my loot
Should I call up the fool, that be creepin in the river
Make a litter I'm doing dirt, he'll erase you out like poof
If the cheese a playa drop, he goin to pull his tone and cock
When I tell him where you live he goin ride through and pop
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall
A bitch can be a nigga's worst downfall

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
