The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Yo, this is Mýa
You know the hook
You see the bait
I know you want a bite
So why procrastinate? Come on
Yeah
Yes (you feelin' this?)
What you doin' over there? (You feel me?)
Bring it over here, let's see what you got, listen
Everybody knows that, yeah, I'm kinda shy
And I'm not the kind of girl who could ever approach a guy
But I wanna find a way to get you to notice me (I just wanna see you)
I got a four-wheel drive, 5' 5", brown eyes
Then maybe you can handle these because I'm free
Single, sexy, and sweet (hey)
Makin' my own money
Lookin' for the right party (see)
And if you're free
Spit your best game at me (let me know)
If you like what you see (come on now)
Maybe I'll let you share my fantasy (yeah)
Now, I don't need a man in my life tryna tie me down (no)
And I don't want a player who got kids all over town
Don't want his curl juice dripping all over my Mercedes seat (oh my God)
I can't stand a man who thinks he looks better than me (hell no)
I'm looking for a brother who likes to have fun (feel me?)
A fly gentleman who knows how to please a woman
Last thing I need is a man that's soft (uh)
He better get it on up and break me off (right)
Someone that fly, high rise, 6'5", ain't shy
And that's the kind of man I need because I'm free
Single, sexy and sweet (come on, ladies)
Makin' my own money (money)
Lookin' for the right party (that's right)
And if you're free
Spit your best game at me (at me, come on)
If you like what you see (do you like what you see?)
Maybe I'll let you share (can you handle me?)
Single, sexy and sweet (baby, 'cause I'm single)
Makin' my own money (and I'm sexy)
Lookin' for the right party
And if you're free (let me know)
Spit your best game at me (for me)
If you like what you see (come on, come on)
Maybe I'll let you share my fantasy
If you're having a good time
Just let go and don't be shy
Come on, yeah (everybody in the house tonight)
Oh, yeah (come on)
If you're down to do whatever (yeah)
Then let's sing this song together
I'm free, oh (alright)
Come on and be free with me (yeah, yeah)
Free
(Woo)
(Uh-huh)
(That's right)
(Uh)
I'm free
Single, sexy and sweet (yeah)
Makin' my own money (where the party at? Where the party at?)
Lookin' for the right party
And if you're free (don't you know I'm free)
Spit your best game at me (come on)
If you like what you see (it could be you and me)
Maybe I'll let you share my fantasy (free)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
