Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
One step closer, to you
One step closer, to you

Well, it's a quarter to that time baby
And you're the only thing on my mind baby
And I'm 'bout to punch outta' here, girl I promise
And I'm comin' straight home to you my dear. (Woh-oh)
So just make sure you've got that nothin' on
And you're waiting for me baby (you)
To walk thru the door, and give it to ya' baby
Every way possible, just how you like it babe
And I'm so thankful for my shinin' star
So glad I don't have to wonder where your are
Now, I'm about to get on the elevator baby goin' down
I'm coming home, home, home

One step closer, to you
(And it won't be long, baby I'm getting)
One step closer, to you
(Said I'm on my way)
(Said I'm on my way)

I'm, starting the car right now, while
My imagination is going wild right now babe
I'm thinkin' bout what I'm gon' do
When I get to you, ooh,ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Time must be on our side, 'cause
Baby so far every light is a green light yeah
And soon, I'll be there, so girl beware
I'm gonna' kiss you up and down, in between
Having your body screaming yeah (oh, oh)

Oh I'm so thankful for my little shining star
And girl, I'm so glad I don't have to wonder where you are
Baby, see you don't have to worry no more
Cause soon, I'll be coming thru the door

One step closer (oh baby, just one step closer)
To you... (To you, babe, and it won't be long, baby I'm getting)
One step closer... (One step closer baby)
To you (to ya' girl), (said I'm on my way), (said I'm on my way)

I'm turnin' the corner, 'bout to pull up in the driveway
Now, I'm hoppin' up out the car, and I'm walking to the door
Goin' up the steps, keys in my hand, unlock the door
Turn the knob, baby now I'm in the house
Up the stairs in the room, damn!

You, babe,
Said you look so good to me laying there, with nothing on
And it makes me wanna'
Kiss every inch of your body
So don't you go nowhere, just stay right there
I'm gonna' move a little closer
Step, step, step, step, step
Ooh I'm at your feet baby
Tell me girl, do you like what I'm doin'
Well, can I move on up?
(Step, step, step, step, step)
Now... I'm at your knees can see you you're shakin'
See you can't take it, girl I'm 'bout to do it get ready-get ready

Get closer
(Steppin' closer to ya' baby)
To you
(Said I'm goin' down, and I'm not comin' back up baby, baby yeah)
One step closer
(One step-closer-to you-hey) (one step closer to you) to you
(Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down)
(Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down)

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.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
