Hey, hey
Bye bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye

(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye

You just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I've lived for you and me
And now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye

(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye

I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't' want to be the reason for your love no more
Bye bye
I'm checking out, I'm signing off
I don't want to be the loser, and I've had enough

I don't want to be your fool in this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind
(Bye bye bye)
I don't want to make it tough
(Make it tough)
But I've had enough
And it ain't no lie

(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
I don't want to be your fool
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Bye bye

    Ya know what just pisses me off? Annoying people who post negative comments about a song or group. If you don't like *NSYNC, then why are you even looking up their stuff? Answer me that.

    And its spelled they're (as in, they are) and *NSYNC, not Nysnc, and also corporate, not coprate. Learn to spell people, and grammer lessons might help too. The first letter of every sentence is capitalized, and you might want to put spaces in between sentences.

    You little shitheads, it's about a guy who is leaving his girlfriend because she's a major bitch, and she is a terrible person.

    NSync is talented. It's not their fault if a bunch of corporate assholes make money off their music. They are talented and it doesn't matter if their hot or not. They can write songs. How many of you could write songs as good as the ones on Celebrity. Or how many of you can actually write a good song? If you really think about it, if rock was popular right now, people would be saying death to rock and pop should come back. damn

    This song is about the stock market

    It was gonna be called "sell, sell, sell" but it was a buying market at the time. Figures though, because 'Buy, buy, buy" can have several meanings and Nsync needs all the meanings they can get.

    The writer is struggling with the situation, he wants to buy stock but his girlfriend doesn't want him to, she's scared, and rightfully so.

    But there comes a time when a guy just has to say 'Buy, buy, buy', In a relationship sense and in a stock sense.

    Nsync may not be able to write songs, or sing particularly well, or even play instruments, but they sure can withstand large volumes of screaming and for that I applaud them.

    It's about the members saying 'bye bye bye' to their awful manager Lou Pearlman

    yes,but writing a song with meaning?that takes talent,and nsync has none anwya,they don't do ther own dance moves(well make them anyway)the dude that does though has videos on how to dance like them,for some reason people would want to,i don't know. 2 they DO NOT wrtie there own stuff??come on,a group of guys writing stuff like that,it's not that possible,granted,male sigers have written love songs,but not the same song over again recycled.if you really want to cry about us making fun of someone,go to Britney Spears lyrics,you will cry a river after what has been said about her talentless ass

    I write my own stuff, but never recycle the same material. A lot of my songs I have recorded contain polyrhythms beneath the simplest melodies, and I don't think that I'll ever see Chasez and co ever passing any kind of musical theory exam. People that write music, all power to them, but if you can't write your own, you have no right to, if you know they're not going to turn out right.

    Dude..."it's not their fault corporate assholes are making money off of their music"?! They are the ones who went to those corporate assholes and let them make money off of their music for one! And as aicguy22 said, there is better stuff out there...so much better. A.K.A stuff that isn't written with a specific goal in mind (ahem...make money off of clueless teeenagers). The majority of pop songs are written with a formula...notice how they all say the same thing just with different words? Okay...anyway...I can't believe I just wasted 2 minutes of my time...*N SYNC sucks.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I must reply to this comment, how can you be soo fukking ignorant? they're the ones who went to the corporate assholes to get their stuff played and they're only in it for the money and AICguy22 knows what hes taking about, hes been around like 10 years longer than you have so if I was you I'd keep my mouth shut, he's right about way better music. All N'Sync or any other of these crappy boy bands is are discreet forms of american propaghanda, where the industry tells you what's cool and what you have to purchase and listen to, It saddens me to see people look up to other people to tell em what to do, as bad religion would say "everyone's looking for something, and they assume somebody else knows what it is, no one can live without the decisions of their own, it seems so they look to someone else, to tell them what to do, tell'em what to wear, tell'em what to say, tell'em how to act and think and compel others compulsively until the world is all like them" They're turning you all into their tools, so learn how to think for yourself and stop liking stuff just cuz it's popular. And Rock, wether it comes back or not, it's still an amazing scene, as is the punk scene!!!

    In response to your questions, Ruby, I have written many songs which others have described as "good". But yes, I do understand your point, as much as people try and manipulate others, it is the individual, and not the accessory, who decides ones own fate. But do these guys pick the wrong direction? Having listened to many middling-"good" Westlife tracks, I'd say no, but that is open to debate.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Album art
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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
