Yo, I'll tell ya what I want, what I really really want
So tell me what ya want, whatcha really really want
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, really really want is a zebrahead jam if you want my future, forget my past
If you wanna get with me better make it fast
Now don't go wasting, our precious time
Get your act together and we'll be just fine

Chorus
Yo, I'll tell ya what I want, what I really really want
So tell me what ya want, whatcha really really want
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, really really want is to get, get down

If you wanna be my lover, you've gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
Takin is so easy, that's the way it is
What you think about that? now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real (are you for real? )
I won't be hasty, give you a try
If you might leave then I'll say goodbye

Chorus
Yo, I'll tell ya what I want, what I really really want
So tell me what ya want, whatcha really really want
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, really really want is to get, get down

Here's a little story from z to d
If you wanna get with me you've gotta listen carefully
We've got toof in the house, who's hung like a mouse
O.g. wannabes that try to hang with me
But g don't play for free, he plays for the sensi
And to the critics... eat me
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around

Chorus
Yo, I'll tell ya what I want, what I really really want
So tell me what ya want, whatcha really really want
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, really really want is to get, get down

Slam your body down and wind it all around
S to the l to the a to the m
Slam your body down with the zebrahead, yeah!

Holiday
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
