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.
Chorus: Malika, P.S.
All I wanna do is spend some time with you.
And all I wanna do is bump 'n grind with you.
Can we get together when the time is cool?
It's alright with me, if it's alright with you.
Verse 1: P.S.
When I first met you, wasn't lookin' for a wife
just somebody, to keep a nigga warm in the night.
Since you was down, freakin', we can do some meetin',
parlayin', I got half on the boom in the trunk.
But you gotta understand girl, I'm a man girl,
don't go gettin' yourself mixed up in somethin' you can't handle.
So, if it's good to you, like it's good to me
then we can kick it, but I ain't tryin' to be in no commitment.
I got too much stress dealin' with the system
and tryin' to provide a house and home for my children.
Cause women be trippin', when they don't get no attention,
and I ain't in the position,
so you can't take care the loot, it's yo decision.
Chorus: Malika, P.S.
All I wanna do is spend some time with you.
And all I wanna do is bump 'n grind with you.
Can we get together when the time is cool?
It's alright with me, if it's alright with you.
Verse 2: Malika
Talk for a minute, but don't wear my ears out,
I want some time, you wanna grind, we gon have to work this out.
I never said I love you, I'm just not your hoe,
and you gon have to show, you got some somethin' for a sister grow.
I wanna post up twenty foreplay, Bombay,
bump the O.J. sixty-nine ways.
Gotta keep it real cause there ain't no future in this.
I wanna talk, you wanna stick,
kiss the lips, hit it quick.
I got news for you, we bout to compromise,
boo, you even see the thighs, you gon have to spend
a lotta time tryin' to paperchase.
But you gon have to break me off
for that tryin' to play me off,
don't mistake me to be soft.
Chorus: Malika, P.S.
All I wanna do is spend some time with you.
And all I wanna do is bump 'n grind with you.
Can we get together when the time is cool?
It's alright with me, if it's alright with you.
All you wanna do is bump 'n grind with me.
And all you wanna do is spend some time with me.
We can bump 'n grind but not for free.
Well, you better get a hustle or a j-o-b.
Verse 3: P.S.
All of a sudden wanna play me like Willie Lumplover.
Ain't nothin' like a thief, I saw the game comin'.
Say you got one,
three months in the oven,
and you need a nigga to break you off somethin'.
But Mrs. Butterworth, tell me what it's worth,
want me to play like I played in a church,
but I ain't even got it, if I did I wouldn't do it.
It was cool, but let's call it a truce, and come anew.
Cause I know you ain't pregnant, that's just a weapon women sometimes
use to keep their nigga from steppin'.
Take the good with the bad and the bad with the good,
I thought you understood you was fuckin' wit a nigga from the hood.
I'm a type of man that understand your needs,
but I can't pay you cause I got too many mouths to feed.
So what you wanna do, you gotta let me know,
cause females come quicker than the metro.
Chorus, Repeat 2X: Malika, P.S.
All I wanna do is spend some time with you.
And all I wanna do is bump 'n grind with you.
Can we get together when the time is cool?
It's alright with me, if it's alright with you.
All I wanna do is spend some time with you.
And all I wanna do is bump 'n grind with you.
Can we get together when the time is cool?
It's alright with me, if it's alright with you.

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
