I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too
And I need to do what I feel like doing
So let me go, and just listen

All you people look at me like I'm a little girl
Well did you ever think it'd be ok for me to step into this world

Always saying little girl don't step into the club
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why 'cause dancing's what I love

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy
But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy

What's practical is logical, what the hell, who cares?
All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there

I'm a slave for you, I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you, I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it

Baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, and age
(Let's go)

(Like that)
(You like it)
(Now watch me)

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

I really wanna dance, tonight with you
(I just can't help myself)
I really wanna do what you want me to
(I just feel I let myself go)

I really wanna dance, tonight with you
(Wanna see you move)
I really wanna do what you want me to
(Uh uh uh)

Baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh, baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, and age

I'm a slave for you (take that) I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave (it just feels right) for you (it just feels good)
I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it (baby)

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

I'm a slave for you (here we go now)
I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you, (here we go) I won't deny it, (yeah)
I'm not trying to hide it

(Like that)

    MOTHER FUCKER. Daronmalakianrules, where do you live? I'm coming to kill you. Hoobastank is just a johnny come lately cash in band on the nu-metal trend. Let me guess.. you heard of SOaD when fucking CHOP SUEY came on the radio. People like you make me sick. I have been listening to SOaD since OZZFEST FUCKING 98 so don't give me shit "I listened to them before you". How is 311 "not good"? Have you actually listened to them? Or are they not "metal" enough for you? You don't know what metal is mother fucker so just shut the fuck up.........

    I need to calm down.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
