Say, "ah" (ah, ah)
Come on, come on
Bounce, bounce
Come o
Bounce, rock, roll (ah, ah)

You can do whatever you want
Whatever you like
It's your own life (live your life, y'all)
So let me be (ah) to do what I want
To do what I like
'Cause this is my life (ah, ah)

It's been about ten long years, my skin wreaks
Flavors that your incense couldn't match
We burn slow like syphilis in your piss, accommodated
With the penicillin you're listenin' to
This "Art Official" will keep your shoes moonwalkin'
Soon to talk about, "Pop Music"
You'll buy it 'cause you choose it
A lot of MC's is really S&M'n (ah, ah)
Whips and chains, I maintain like a old jazz singer
Ella Fitz in any location
Held back in rotation, an apple a day
Only makes a nigga fruity
I eat responsibilities to carry out my duty
Crib in the MD's, I pull it out just to polish it
Make notes if you earnin' or wait your turnbuckle
I stick to gettin' mines like stucco, stucco (ah, ah)

You can do whatever you want (you can do what you want)
Whatever you like (what you like)
It's your own life (ah)
So let me be to do what I want (let me be to do what I want)
To do what I like (what I like)
'Cause this is my life (ah, ah)

I'm that full-time rapper, the nickname's Llama
Part-time father if you ask my daughter's mommas
Missin' in action 'cause the action got a fraction
Of the world listenin' to me
Got me travelin' overseas in lands constantly
Got a sea of hands wavin', ain't misbehavin'
But a lot of kids cravin' for somethin' they ain't got
Like the keys to the ride and a pocket with a knot and it's
Holdin' they ground 'til they rot in it
Plottin' it, lockin' it down strong
'Cause it's nothin' wrong gettin' your bubblin' on sticker
But too much bubblin' can make you fizz quicker
So, watch your stack, keep your fam intact
And pay attention to the now, I'm clearin' the mess
While they stressin' back in the day, I'm at the front of the night
With my crew shinin' light on the (ah, ah)

You can do whatever you want (you can do what you want)
Whatever you like (what you like)
It's your own life (live your life, y'all)
So let me be to do what I want (let me be to do what I want)
To do what I like (what I like)
'Cause this is my life (ah, ah)

You can do whatever you want (you can do what you want) (ah)
Whatever you like (what you like)
It's your own life
So let me be to do what I want (let me be to do what I want)
To do what I like (what I like)
'Cause this is my life (ah, ah)

Now, we're on top of this like a typical bed position
Peepin your view, got your whole crew wishin' and waitin'
Makin dollars out of ten dime pieces
Who be sippin' out the glass suckin' on them lime pieces included
In my pieces I pen the good livin'
And even when we're stressin' from in the hood livin'
At least, we're livin' and there ain't no hell in that
Give me a yell in that and go (ah, ah)

I wanna see the world ten times over
Dive off cliffs and land on opportunities unthinkable
You sinkin' straight to the bottom, while I float in parades
That St. Patty couldn't put up
All my niggas tryin' to build, then throw your wood up
Design life like PNB gears, so stand clear for the blast off
Last off my chest, peace to Dave West
Live your life to the fullest (ah, ah)

You can do whatever you want (you can do what you want)
Whatever you like (what you like)
It's your own life (live your life, y'all)
So let me be to do what I want (let me be to do what I want)
To do what I like (what I like)
'Cause this is my life (uh-huh, uh-huh) (ah, ah)

You can do what you want
What you like
Let me be what I want
What I like

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
