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!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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.

Head > Heels
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.
