I know you're gonna change the way you think of me
And so, I'm gonna show you how it supposed to be
I'm gonna finally make you see
I'm gonna make you learn your lesson with me

'Cause I'm not the kind of girl who will lay down at your feet
Pedal back for your love, come whenever you call me
And I won't wait around, and I won't be your shadow
Lost in a world 'cause I'm not that kind of girl

You don't even know what love is all about
I won't hang around till you figured it out
I'm gonna finally make you see
I'm gonna make you learn your lesson with me

'Cause I'm not the kind of girl who will lay down at your feet
Pedal back for your love, let you win every battle
Just to keep you around, just to make you feel better
You can be sure

That I'm not the kind of girl who will lay down at your feet
Pedal back for your love, come whenever you call me
'Cause that's not what I need, and that's not the way that
I see the world

Yeah I'm gonna finally make you see
You gonna learn your lesson with me

'Cause I'm not the kind of girl who will lay down at your feet
Pedal back for your love, come whenever you call me
'Cause you're not what I need
No, you're not the one for me no
And I'll never have to let you go
'Cause I'm more than that girl in the shadow I'm telling ya

'Cause I'm not the kind of girl who will lay down at your feet
Beg for your love, come whenever you call me
And you'll never see me cry
No, you'll never see me cry, no, no, no

And you're never gonna break me no, no
'Cause I'm never gonna be what you want me to
I know for sure I'm not lost in your world

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.

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,

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
