Maybe I like you
Maybe I do
Oooo, oooo, oooo

Maybe I felt something real for just a moment
Was I wrong to trust anyone?
Tell me, tell me

Did you tell them everything I said?
Did you tell them everything?
Did you tell them everything I said?
Did you tell them everything I said?
Why don't you tell them?

Did you get a good laugh?
Tell me, was it good?
Was it good?
Was it good for you?
Did you win that race?
Did you score that point?
Are you so fucking cool, fucking cool now?
Did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya
Did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya, did ya?

Go tell your fucking friends
What I saw and how I felt
How punk fucking rock my pussy smelled
Why don't you tell them?

I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Honey, baby, this I know

Maybe I like you
Maybe I do

    My Opinion

    i agree. this song about a chick who sleeps with a guy thats a total douche. but in a way, i think its deeper than that. look at the title of the song "anti-pleasure dissertation" the definition of a dissertation is:” a long essay on a particular subject, esp. one written as a requirement for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.” so with that said, look at the way the whole song is written. She’s rambling on (much like an essay) its almost as if this wasnt the first time she's felt that way about someone before. she keeps falling for "that type" and really just hates the fact that although this next guy seemed different he ended up being a total (pardon my language) fucktard just like the rest, but she's still into him. like its something that keeps happening to her. "I just don't know if was I wrong to trust anyone" and "i dont care. i dont care..." she really does care, but she's trying to put up a front in order to save face and stay tough. she wants to give up and say fuck it! although im a bit of a masochist because this is my pleasure, im "anti-pleasure" and this is my "dissertation" i graduate from all this mess... but ends the song with "Maybe I like you. Maybe I do" because she knows, even though she wants to tell this guy to fuck off she's still, not yet, as strong as she wants to be.

    This is a song about having sex with a guy and then he goes and brags to all his friends about it.

    That was completely obvious. Seriously. Anyhow, great song. Probably one of my favorite BK songs.

    This song makes me think of how even though a guy may be a jerk and objectify his girlfriend in front of his friends to seem "cool," the girl still likes him.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
