I was in love with you and gave my heart to you
I did my best to keep you satisfied
You took the love from me and used it selfishly
You did not give back your love to me at all

I gave the sun to you, you said it was too bright
I gave you diamond rings, you said they didn't shine
I gave my world to you, you said it's not enough
What in the world could I have done to make you be so rough?

'Til you do me right (do me)
I don't even want to talk to you
I don't even want to hear you speak my name
And 'til you do me right (do me)
Only wrong is gonna come to you, yeah
Nothing good is gonna come
'Til you change, change your ways
Until you change your evil ways

Girl, I was there for you, someone you could talk to
How could you just keep breaking my heart?
What did I do to you to make you be so cruel?
I don't understand why you been so wronged

I tried to be your strength, you said I was too strong
I tried to compromise, so we could get along
I gave my love to you, despite your evil ways
I guess it's clear to me
There's only one thing left to say (say)

'Til you do me right (do me)
I don't even want to talk to you (no, babe)
I don't even want to hear you speak my name (now, baby)
'Til you do me right (do me)
Only wrong is gonna come to you (girl)
Nothing good is gonna come
'Til you change, change your ways
Until you change your evil ways

There's a time when you know
What you feel inside your heart
It's telling you that something feels strange (something is strange, girl)
Oh, girl, you don't have to deny it
All you gotta do is just try it
You'll find a love grows stronger
If you're willing to change, hey

'Til you do me right (do me) ('til you do)
('Til you do me right, baby)
I don't even want to talk to you (I won't talk) (no way)
I don't even want to hear you speak my name (baby)
'Til you do me right (oh, 'til you do me right)
Only wrong is gonna come to you (hey, yeah, hey)
Nothing good is gonna come
'Til you change your ways

'Til you do me right (do me)
I don't even want to talk to you (I won't talk, oh, yeah)
I don't even want to hear you speak my name
(Don't wanna hear you speak my name, speak my name)
'Til you do me right (do me) (oh, 'til you do, 'til you do)
Only wrong is gonna come to you
Nothing good is gonna come
'Til you change, change your ways
Until you change your evil ways
Change your evil ways

'Til you do me right (do me)
I don't even want to talk to you (no, no)
I don't even want to hear you speak my name
'Til you do me right do me

    It isn’t love, that’s the hard truth. You can’t love someone that doesn’t love you. Therefore you must not love them because it must go both ways. People who put up with people who treat them like shit, are just simply lonely And don’t have any other options. Sex is not love and many many people confuse the two. I have the best parents in the world and they made sure me and my brothers understood this because it’s imperative to a lasting relationship to understand the difference between the two. If someone is willing to do anything for you and has been truthful and faithful to you and you only that is the person you should be with because they are the ones who love you. Not the liars, the cheaters, the ones who use you for sex, part Time lovers that is not love it is just using someone.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
