@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Oh
Baby girl, where you at?
Got no strings, got men attached
Can't stop that feelin' for long no
Mm
You makin' dogs want to beg
Breaking them off your fancy legs
But they make you feel right at home, now
(Oh)
See all these illusions just take us too long
(Oh) And I want it bad
Because you walk pretty,
Because you talk pretty,
'Cause you make me sick
And I'm not leavin', till you're leavin'
(Ah)
Oh I swear there's something when she's pumpin',
Asking for a raise
(Oh) Well does she want me to carry her home now?
(Oh) So does she want me to buy her things?
On my house, on my job
On my loot, shoes, my shirt,
My crew, my mind, my father's last name?
(Ah)
When I get you alone ('lone)
When I get you you'll know baby (know)
When I get you alone ('lone)
When I get you alone now (it's all mine)
(Ah oh)
Come on
Oh yeah-yeah
Baby girl you da shit
That makes you my equivalent
Well you can keep your toys in the drawer tonight,
All right
All my dogs talkin' fast
Ain't you got some photographs?
'Cause you shook that room like a star, now
Yes you did, oh
Baby girl, where you at?
Got no strings, got men attached
Can't stop that feelin' for long no
Mm
You makin' dogs want to beg
Breaking them off your fancy legs
But they make you feel right at home, now
(Oh)
See all these illusions just take us too long
(Oh) And I want it bad
Because you walk pretty,
Because you talk pretty,
'Cause you make me sick
And I'm not leavin', till you're leavin'
(Ah)
Oh I swear there's something when she's pumpin',
Asking for a raise
(Oh) Well does she want me to carry her home now?
(Oh) So does she want me to buy her things?
On my house, on my job
On my loot, shoes, my shirt,
My crew, my mind, my father's last name?
(Ah)
When I get you alone ('lone)
When I get you you'll know baby (know)
When I get you alone ('lone)
When I get you alone now (it's all mine)
(Ah oh)
Come on
Oh yeah-yeah
Baby girl you da shit
That makes you my equivalent
Well you can keep your toys in the drawer tonight,
All right
All my dogs talkin' fast
Ain't you got some photographs?
'Cause you shook that room like a star, now
Yes you did, oh

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I just wanna say that it's cool other people are into him and WildCherry did a good job with the lyrics. But I think it's "talk city...walk city..." cause it makes more sense than silly to me. But I dunno, songs don't always make sense.
