What's, what's the next song?
The one about me
Oh, yeah
I like this one (uh, what?)
Uh, uh, like Joni says (what?)

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (uh)
Don't it always seem to go (uh, uh)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (uh, uh)
Don't it always seem to go (uh, uh)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (uh, uh)
Uh (uh), uh (uh)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone (what?)

Have a feeling, now believing that you (yeah)
Were the one I was meant to be with (uh, uh, uh)
Oh, how I'm wishing, thinking, dreaming (uh, what?)
'Bout you and the love (uh, uh, what?)
How'd I ever let you get away?

Got 'til it's gone (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Got 'til it's gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (Uh, uh, what?)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (Uh, uh, what?)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (What?)
(Joni Mitchell never lies)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone (what?)

If I could turn back the hands of time (yeah, mhm-mhm)
Make you fall in love, in love with me again (uh)
So would you give me another chance to love (uh, uh, uh, uh)
To love you, love you the right way? No games (uh, what? Uh, uh)

Got 'til it's gone (uh, what? Here you go again)
Got 'til it's gone (what? What? What?)
Joni Mitchell never lies

Don't it always seem to go (what?)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (Uh)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til- (two, one two, yo)
(Let me just fuck with it for a minute)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (What?)

Now you realizing when them nights go long, right?
Campaign for me to stay when you know that I'm gone, right?
You act all wild when I tell you to settle (settle down)
I was working 'round the clock, but your girls want to meddle (I heard)
Talk about (you know I'm sayin'? I heard)
"I heard he swims with this chick on the beach" (that you were on the beach)
That was out with the tide but my love you impeach (impeach)
Now you looking at the walls, head in hands, cold jonesin'
Ringing my house, hanging up and imposing

Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that (and do that and do that and do that)

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (Yeah, yeah)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (You never ever realize)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (Uh)
(Now look at you, Joni Mitchell never lies)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Yo, do you feel that?
Uh-uh
Uh-uh

You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone (mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Dust

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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/

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.

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.
