I I can't just keep watching you all the time and everything, I mean hey.
If you were mine, man
You'd change your ways.
Wouldn't be all that going out staying all night long,
Not letting a brother know where you are when you coming home.
Things would change, things would surely change.

You been working on the night shift
And ain't no telling who you with
And Every time that the phone rings
You be steady scrambling
Tryna go and do your thing
There's been talk all over the town
People tellin' how you putting it down
Girl when I need you-you're nowhere, nowhere to be found

[Chorus]
If I was yo keeper
I wouldn't never let em' run off with you
If I was yo keeper
I wouldn't never let him do the things he do
I would be up in yo spot all night
Making sure that you don't leave my sight
Making sure that we be getting it right
Until the night is through

You're in and out of every fast car
Sometimes no telling where you are
I'm not trying to blow up yo thang
But you need and try to change your ways (change your ways)
Stop this silly masquerade
Settle down before its too late
Before you make me up and blow
And not come around here no more

[Chorus: x2]

Now baby, Now baby

Go on and change ways-yea, yea
If I was your keeper

If I was yo keeper
I wouldn't never let you do the things you do
I would be up in yo spot all night
Making sure that you don't leave my sight
Making sure that we be gettin' it right
Until the night is through
If I was yo keeper (if I was yo keeper)

If I was yo keeper
I wouldn't never let you do the things you do
I would be up in yo spot all night
Making sure that you don't leave my sight
Making sure that we be gettin' it right
Until the night is through
If I was yo keeper (if I was yo keeper)


If I was yo keeper
I'd never let you be alone no no
I would be up in you spot all night
Making sure that you be getting it right
Making sure that you don't leave my sight
Oh no, oh no

[Chorus: x2]

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
