Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me, sweet lady

Now, any other day
I would play it cool
But I can't now, 'cause I want you
See, I'm hooked on
How you flex your style
And I wanna talk for a little while
I never really seen your type
But I must admit that I kinda like
So maybe if you have the time
We could talk about you being my

Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me

Now, on the regular
I would waste time but I don't want to
'Cause you're so damn fine
And I heard that you were taken
But that don't have to stop you from makin'
Late-night phone calls on the telephone
About your fantasies and ways to get it on
When you need me, I will be
There for you, my sweet lady

Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me

Say you will be my baby
Say you will be my lady
I've got to have all your love
So I won't even front
Just say you'll give it to me
Don't wanna hear the maybes
And I will give you all my heart
If you say you'll be my baby

Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me

Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Oh, sweet lady, would you be mine?
Oh, sweet lady, be mine, babe, be mine
Come on over, sweet lady, and be mine, sweet lady

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.

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,

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.
