The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Up in the hot tub, bubbly
Spot, love, punish me
Don't stop, watch the Pun get wicked
When I stick it, even Luke be like, "Don't stop, get it, get it"
I don't wanna be a playa no more
I'm not a playa, I just crush a lot
But me and Punisher still got what you're lookin' for
Uptown baby, Uptown
But I don't wanna be a playa no more
I'm not a playa, I just crush a lot
But you know Big Pun and Brock still down by law
Who's down to crush tonight?
Hey yo, I'm still not a playa but you still a hater
Elevator to the top, hah, see you later, I'm gone
Penthouse suite, Penthouse freaks
In house beach, French count sheets, ten thou a piece
Rent-out lease, with a option to buy
Coppin' a 5 or Benz for when I'm not far up in the sky
Puffin' the lye with my Twinzito
Up in the Benzito with my kiko from Queens, nicknamed Perico
We go back like PAs and wearin' PJs
Now we reached the peak age, runnin' trains for three days
Who wanna ride? It won't cost you a dollar
Whether soft or harder, of course you still gonna holla
Mama, I'm thick, huh? I rip my (hah) through your (ugh)
I'm sick, you couldn't measure my with six rulers
Hold up, Chula, I'm all about gettin' loot
But I knock that boot if you out to get koofed
Well, I don't wanna be a playa no more
I'm not a playa, I just crush a lot
But me and Punisher still got what you're lookin' for
Uptown baby, Uptown
But I don't wanna be a playa no more
I'm not a playa, I just crush a lot
But you know Big Pun and Brock still down by law
Who's down to crush tonight?
I don't wanna be a playa no more
I'm not a playa, I just crush a lot
But you know Big Pun and Brock still down by law
I love from butter pecan to blackberry molass'
I don't discriminate, I regulate every shade of the (ha ha ha)
Long as you show class, and pass my test
Fat, highly intelligent bachelorettes
That's the best, I won't settle for less
I wanna get a brunette with unforgettable sex
I lay your head on my chest, come feel my heartbeat
We can park the Jeep, pump Mobb Deep, and just spark the
It's hard to creep since I found Joe
Every pretty round brown, wanna go down low
But this Boogie Down professional, I'ma let you know
Once I put the blows, get your clothes 'cause you got to go
Out the door downstairs, little brown hairs everywhere
"You nasty Brock", "I don't care"
Round here they call me Big Pun, if you with the big guns
Thick tongue, known to make a chick
Up in the hot tub, poppin' bubbly
Rubbin' your spot, love, got you screamin', "Punish me"
But it don't stop, watch the Pun get wicked
When I stick it even Luke be like, "Don't stop, get it get it"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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
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/
