Yes, I'll be your woman, yes, I'll be your, baby
Yes, I'll be whatever that you tell me when you're ready
Yes, I'll be your girl, forever your lady
You ain't ever gotta worry, I'm down for you, baby (uh)

Best believe that, when you need that
I'll provide that, you will always have it (ha-have it)
I'll be on deck, keep it in check
When you need that, I'ma let you have it

Beating my drum like, dum-di-di-day
I like the dirty rhythm you play
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like, "Hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, ma"
Banging the drum like, dum-di-di-day (hey)
I know you want it in the worst way
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like, "Hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, ma" (hey)

Be my woman, girl
I'll be your man
Be my woman, girl
I'll be your man

Yes, I do the cooking, yes, I do the cleaning
Plus, I keep the na-na real sweet for your eating
Yes, you be the boss, and yes, I be respecting
Whatever that you tell me, 'cause it's game you be spitting, oh

Best believe that (oh-oh), when you need that (oh-oh)
I'll provide that, you will always have it (ha-have it)
I'll be on deck, keep it in check
When you need that, I'ma let you have it

Beating my drum like, dum-di-di-day
I like the dirty rhythm you play
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like, "Hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, ma" (hey)
Banging the drum like, dum-di-di-day
I know you want it in the worst way
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like, "Hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, ma" (hey)

Be my woman, girl
I'll be your man
Be my woman, girl
I'll be your man (yeah, yeah)

Whole crew got the juice, yo' d- game the truth
My screams is the proof, them other dudes get the deuce
When I speed in the coupe, leaving this interview
It ain't nothin' new, I been f- with you
None of them ain't n- taking you, just tell them to make a "U"
Huh, that's how it be, I come first like debuts, huh
So, baby, when you need that
Give me the word, I'm no good, I'll be bad for my baby

(So I) make sure that he's getting his share
(So I) make sure that his baby take care
(So I) make sure I'm on my toes, on my knees
Keep him pleased, rub him down, be a lady and a freak, oh

Beating my drum like, dum-di-di-day
I like the dirty rhythm you play
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like, "Hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, ma" (hey)
Banging the drum like dum-di-di-day
I know you want it in the worst way
I wanna hear you calling my name
Like, "Hey, mama, mama, hey, mama, ma" (hey)

Be my woman, girl
I'll be your man
Be my woman, girl
I'll be your man

    The lyric is about subordination of a woman who wants to be abused.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
