Stop Falling

Pink

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
'Cause I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
You ain't gotta give me everything
Just throw it away, hey

Don't assume 'cause I'm a woman that I'll fall in love
Don't expect I'm young and need to be took care of
Don't want to hear, "You've got what I need"
'Cause how would you know before we speak?

You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
You better take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
I get a feeling I won't let dissolve

'Cause I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
'Cause I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still looking for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
You ain't gotta give me everything
Just throw it away, hey

Please believe me
I've been down this road and back again
Learned a lesson and it was that love is not your friend (not my friend)
The day I put my trust in you
Will be the day I say, "I do"
Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please, don't tell me what you think
I wanna hear
Oh baby, save it
I've heard it all before
There ain't nothing you could say, oh, to make me change my ways

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
'Cause I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still looking for some better days, oh
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
You ain't tryna give me everything
Just throw it away

So stop falling, stop falling
You know you're falling for me
Stop falling, stop falling
Stop falling for me, yeah

You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
Oh baby, take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
I get a feeling I won't let it go

I ain't looking for a steady thing
I ain't looking for what love brings
'Cause I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still looking for some better days, oh
I don't wanna give you everything (don't wanna give you everything)
I just wanna make you feel things
You ain't tryna give me everything
Just throw it away

Stop falling
Ooh
Ooh, yeah-yeah
Yeah
Yeah, ooh
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Baby, baby, baby

    she is saying that she hasnt been exposed to real love and she doesnt want to fall in love cause she wants to be free and not commited to someone because she has obviously been hurt badly before and she doesnt want to experience that again

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.

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.

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/

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.

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.
