I was sitting at the bar, talking to a lady friend,
Sipping on a glass of wine and making time, - you know what I mean.
Then my favorite record played and I turned to watch the crowd,
But one dancin' lady made me spill my wine.
She looked so wild and she looked so free and she moved so temptingly,
All the boys had just one question on their minds;

Can she do it like she dances?
Can she do it like she dances?
Oh, the way she move, I'd like to rendezvous her,
Find if she can really do it like she dances.

(Oo, oo, oo)

As she moved around the floor I kept movin' 'round the bar,
Almost got into a fight to keep her in sight.
When the dance was finally through, found myself exhausted too,
And I knew that I'd be wondering all night:

Can she do it like she dances?
Can she do it like she dances?
Oh, the way she move, I'd like to rendezvous,
And find if she can really do it like she dances.

Some girls get off by putting on a show,
But when you get them home the show is over.
Well, on the dance floor there's no move they don't know,
But you get her alone and her body turns to stone.

So I finished up my drink and was heading for the door,
When I saw that lady giving me the eye.
Well, we danced the night away and I'm seeing her today
And I hope that I will find out by on by

Can she do it like she dances?
I said, can she do it like she dances?
(Can she do it like she dances?)
Oh, the way she move, I'd like to rendezvous,
And find if she can really do it like she dances.

Can she do it like she dances?
I wanna know if she can do it,
I wanna know if she can do it,
I wanna know if she can do it just like she dances.

Oh, come on, baby, dance with me one time,
Dance with me two times,
Well, if you dance we can do it all over the floor!
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it?)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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/
