Just tell me, tell me how to keep this
And I'll be alright
Just tell me, tell me what's the secret
And I'll hold it tight
'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again
Just tell me, tell me how to keep this
So it never ends

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change,
No, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
And I'll use the chance
To keep you just the same
If I were, if I were God just for a day

Don't tell me, tell me how it changes
It's you I can't replace
Don't tell me, tell me that we're hopeless
I can learn from my mistakes
'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change,
No, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
And I'll use the chance
To keep you just the same
If I were, if I were God just for a day

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change,
No, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
And I'll use the chance
To keep you just the same

'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again

'Cause I don't want to spend another moment

No, I don't want to spend another moment

'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again

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/
