If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have cheese like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me
If I wasn't a celebrity?

(Lately)
I've been a little thinking
'Bout the things that satisfy you
It's making me wonder
'Bout the things that you, you see in me
I hate the way you like to say
Your man's a (celebrity)
Baby, what's the deal?
I thought you wanted me for me

(You gotta) say what you mean
(You gotta) mean what you say
('Cause you keep) pushing me away
'Cause I ain't got no time to play
So I say

If I wasn't a celebrity (oh)
Would you be so nice to me?
If I didn't have cheese like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
(Baby) If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me
If I wasn't a celebrity?

Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity

I'm glad that you are having a good time
Living the life that I made out for me
Constantly splurging
Spending my money on everything you see
See it would be different
If you had something, maybe like a J-O-B
You need to get your thing together, yeah

(You gotta) Stop running game
(Just sayin') It ain't about my fame
('Cause you know) If things weren't this way
You'd be gone a long time ago
So I say

If I wasn't a celebrity (yeah)
Would you be so nice to me? (Yeah)
If I didn't have cheese like everyday
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me
If I wasn't a celebrity? (Yeah)

If you really love me
You try and show me
That it ain't even 'bout my name ('bout my name)
But you tried to use me
And lied to fool me
So we can never be the same (be the same)
So now I'm leaving you behind
I found somebody
Who can love me for me and that's all I need, yeah

Celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity
If I wasn't a celebrity, celebrity
Celebrity, celebrity (oh, whoa, whoa, oh)

If I wasn't a celebrity
Would you be so nice to me? (If I wasn't a celebrity, oh)
If I didn't have cheese like everyday (can you tell me?)
Would you still wanna be with me? (Would you still wanna be with me?)
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings (diamond rings)
And all those other expensive things (hey, yeah, expensive things)
Would you be so into me
If I wasn't a celebrity? (If I wasn't a celebrity)
If I wasn't a celebrity (celebrity, yeah, oh)
Would you be so nice to me? (Celebrity, yeah)
If I didn't have cheese like everyday (yeah)
Would you still wanna be with me?
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings
And all those other expensive things
Would you be so into me (no, no, no)
If I wasn't a celebrity?

If I wasn't a celebrity (if I wasn't a celebrity)
Would you be so nice to me? (Would you still wanna be with me?)
If I didn't have cheese like everyday (if I wasn't a)
Would you still wanna be with me? (If I wasn't a, uh, oh)
If I couldn't buy you diamond rings (if I couldn't buy no diamond rings)
And all those other expensive things (would you still wanna be with me?)
Would you be so into me
If I wasn't a celebrity? Yeah

    Wow. Could it possibly be that you're hating on it because you like Backstreet Boys? Genius. Apparently you don't like good music if you think KoRn got kicked out of anywhere. And no, this song is not about themselves. It's about gold diggers who only want them because they ARE celebrities. Get over it. What are you, 12?

    This song (clearly) is about people who only agree to go out with someone because of their fame and nothing else. Duh.

    This song sucks! I mean, they are bragging about themselves like BIG TIME!!! N*SYNC, who listens to them any more anyway? They were in but they got kicked OUT, kinda like Korn and Abba. Anyway, everyone knows this ong sucks so you shouldnt be here unless you are giving negitive comments.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

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.

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/
