When there's something I can't have,
I only want it more.
You know I sure found out the hard way
That it's true.

'Cause there's a storm inside of me
From wantin' you.
How I wish that I'd found you in time,
'Cause now you're his and can't be mine.

But you can start a fire raging
Just by touching me.
Even though I know
We're not supposed to touch.

Oh, I've never wanted anyone so much.
How I wish that I had found you first,
Can't you see my heart's about to burst.

So let me love you once before you go.
Your eyes keep saying yes to me,
So don't keep saying no.
Let me love you once and then you'll see,
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.

Let me lock the door
And open all my love to you.
All the love I've longed to give you
Since we met.

It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get.
And I just can't let it disappear,
Oh my darling, please come over here.

And let me love you once before you go.
Your eyes keep saying yes to me,
So don't keep saying no.
Let me love you once and then you'll see,
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.

Let me lock the door
And open all my love to you.
All the love I've longed to give you
Since we met.

It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get.
And I just can't let it disappear,
Oh my darling, please come over here.

And let me love you once before you go.
Your eyes keep saying yes to me,
So don't keep saying no.

Let me love you once and then you'll see,
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
