Funny how love can make you feel
Crush you like a ton of steel
Fake you out, make you think it's real
Funny how love can make you feel, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
Hey!

Ain't it funny how love can make you fly
Sweetest buzz and the highest high
When you can't walk to the other side
Ain't it funny how love can make you fly

Oh, I can't stop it
Oh, gotta have it, want it,
I can't help it

I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
(Can't leave it alone)
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
Hey!

Oh come on!
Burn me once but it don't sink in
I just keep coming back again
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave, I can't leave it
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave love alone
I just can't leave,
I can't leave it alone
I can't leave it

    This foot-stomping bluesy track finds Underwood singing of a love-stricken girl unable to escape her addiction. "I just can't leave love alone," she sings.

    Songwriting credits go to Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson and Troy Verges. Nashville mainstay Hillary Lindsey and Canadian singer-songwriter Gordie Sampson frequently write together, usually with a third person. Amongst the songs they've penned for Underwood are "Jesus, Take The Wheel," which won them a Grammy Award for Best Country Song, along with Brett James. For "Leave Love Alone" they teamed up with Louisiana native Troy Verges, who previously contributed to Underwood's 2007 single "Wasted."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
