Ouch!
You're hurtin' me, mama!
You gotta let go
Don't squeeze it so
Ooh!
Breaking me in two
What business you got
Lookin' so hot?

No no no, I ain't talking 'bout true love no more
Just do the deed
Gimme what I need
No no no, I ain't knocking when I walk in your back door
No more romance
Now let's just dance, anyway
Not today
Yes it's true girl I sure liked you
Anyway, not today
Yes it's true what's a guy to do

She goes about her business with a hammer and a spike in hand
She likes to drink beer, and she likes to hear the band
Don't know much about love, though I tried to teach her
Why'd I ever think that I could reach her?
Why'd I ever think that I could reach her?

With a hammer and a spike
She nailed my heart
Right up to the wall
She let me fall.
And I wonder what the next one will be like.
With a hammer and a spike
She busted my balls
She let me bleed
Oh yes indeed
And I never want to see her again
Been in love since I don't know when
And I know I'll always miss her now and then...

And if you ain't got no love to give, then you ain't got no life to live.
And if you ain't got no love to give, then you ain't got no life to live.

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.

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.

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.
