No!

I'm going down to Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head to my feet

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes she will
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna drive my daddy's Thunderbird (my daddy's Thunderbird)
A white rad ride, '66 ('67) so glam it's absurd
I'm gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her to Tennessee

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tennessee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, drive her

Excuse me, baby
I don't mean to be rude
But I guess tonight I'm just not, I'm just not in the mood
So if you don't mind (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would like to watch

Yeah, yeah, yeah can I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (can I, can I, can I, can I)

We're going down, down, down, if that's the only way
To make this cruel, cruel world hear what we've got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, better days
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's O-O-K
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe it's the only way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cat, we need you to rap (no)
Cat, we need you to rap
Don't give to us slow
'Cause we know you know
New power soul
Gotta gotta gotta go

Talk to me lover
Come on tell me what you taste
Didn't your mama tell you
Life is to good to waste? (put your love down)
Didn't she tell you
That Lovesexy was the glam of them all?
If you can hang, you can trip on it
You surely won't fall (put your love down)
No side effects and
The feeling last for-ever
Straight up it tastes good
It makes you feel clever (put your love down)
You kiss your enemies
Like you know you should
Then you jerk your body like a horny pony would (put your love down)
You jerk your body like a horny pony would
Now run and tell your mama about that

And while you're at it tell your papa about this

Yeah-yeah

Put your love down there when you want to get shot

No (yeah, yeah)

Put your love down there when you want to get shot
Put your love down there when you want to get shot
Put your love down there when you want to get shot

Put your love down there
(Yeah)
Get home, Alphabet Street

No

L-L-L-L-Lovesexy

Yea, oh, Alphabet Street
Yea, oh, Alphabet Street

A B C D E F H I love you

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
