Yo, turn my music up
Up some more, up some more
Up a little bit more

Mama always told me to be careful who I love
And daddy always told me make sure he's right
I always had my eyes on this one particular guy
I was too shy so I decided to write

I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him he better get it on time
I'm sending him a four page letter (oh yeah)
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him he better get it on time

People always say that I've played myself for you
They say that you don't even notice me
(Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
Baby, when I get the nerve to come to you
Promise me that you won't diss me

I'm sending him a four page (four page) letter (letter)
And I enclosed it with a kiss (a kiss)
And when I write him he better (oh yeah) get it on time (he better)
I'm sending him a four page letter (oh, yes I am)
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him he better (he better) get it on time
(Oh, I'm writin' you)

I'm writing you a love letter tonight
You better keep watch 'cause the mailman's coming
(Oh, yes he is, oh, I)
I'm writing you (writing you) a love letter tonight (tonight)
You better keep watch 'cause the mailman's coming (I'm)

I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him he better (he better) get it on time
And get it on time, baby
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss (a sweet)
And when I write him (kiss) he better
Get it on time (oh, my baby)

I'm sending him (oh yeah) a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss (a kiss)
And when I write him he better get it on time
Get it on time, oh yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah

    This song is about a girl who likes a boy but is to afraid to talk to him so she sends him a 4 pg letter to tell him how she feels about him. And she hopes he won't diss her.

Mountain Song
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."

Ed Sheeran

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.
