(Everybody on the floor) East Side
(Everybody on the floor) South Side
(Everybody on the floor) North Side
(Everybody on the floor) West Side
We told you we was gonna give it to you raw (everybody on the floor)
We ain't do it right the first time (everybody on the floor)
We gonna do it right the second time (everybody on the floor)
(Everybody on the floor)

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)

Come on, come on, come on
Yo, who's bugging who?
Destiny is coming through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder
'Bout to hit why'all with the new groove

It's not hot
That you be callin' me, stressin' me
Pagin' my beeper, you're just non-stop
And it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages
Every ten minutes and then you stop by
When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
'Cause twenty minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

So what? Talking 'bout your "feeling you's"
So what? Never told you to buy me shoes
So what? Now you're rolling with an attitude
Plus the word on the streets is you're a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)

Come on, come on, come on
Yo, who's bugging who?
Destiny is coming through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder
'Bout to hit why'all with the new groove

It's not hot
That when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me from over your best friend's house
And it's not hot
That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down (trackin' me down)
You need to chill out with that mess
'Cause you can't keep havin' me stressed
'Cause every time my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin' that it is someone else

So what? Ain't even like I knew you
So what? Tell your peoples I ain't feeling you
So what? Don't call me, I'll call you
'Cause cupid ain't shoot me, he shot you

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
(Throw my pager out the window)
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)

Yo Clef (what up? What up?)
We ain't heard from you in a while
So break it down for the chiren, Latin style

Destiny's Child remade uno
You wanna hate me now like Nas (ay, ay, ay)
'Cause you dos, tres, quartro
Thugs still in the dance
Ain't no need to bust you're AK
We all can get along or we can do it Carlito's Way
'Cause even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, got the Lord plus this Desert Eagle
Way before birth I had this whole book memorized
I roll with murderers that just got baptized
I be allowed to see through the eyes of Zion
The New Jerusalem, so sing the hook and stop buggin'

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
And don't you see it ain't cool?

Ay yo
It's the Refugee Camp (camp)

    hehe i like rainbows attitude, reminds me of my own!! hehe but seriously, i think the word shes looking for is "theasarus" seems as thats the word which gives u different words instead of using another yet they have the same meaning, a dictionary would just extend your vo-cab whereas nessie is using words which mean the same thing and lead to the same conclusion! :)

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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Album art
Plastic Bag
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.
