I'd love to say
Do you love me, but
I'm as humble as a bumble bee
I'd walk away
If you come with me or
I may crumble
For all to see

I have the weather
On my side

Hey, by the way
Did you love me girl?
The words I mumble
As she leaves
I'll be okay
As long as you won't be burdened
You don't fumble
You don't grieve
You don't think whether
You don't think twice

You're so sober
You only broke me
You, only broke me
Yeah,you're so sober
You're so sober
You only broke me
You, only broke me
Yeah, you're so sober

Lay the blame
Make it worthy and
Sift through rubble
For debris
'Cause nothings day begins
I'm noticing lately that the
When things trouble
We'll end the breeze

I have the weather
On my side

You're so sober
You only broke me
You, only broke me
Yeah, you're so sober
You're so sober
You only broke me
You, only broke me
Yeah, you're so sober

Is this over?
Or am I just crazy?
I'm not crazy
Yeah, you're so sober
Sober, yeah

    It doesn't say "As long as you won't be burdened" it says "As long as you won't be, but"!! congratulations, by changing one word u managed to feck up the whole meaning of the song. its supposed to be bitter and spiteful, not caring about the other persons burdens. stop ruining beautiful songs!!!

    omg you got SO many lyrics wrong. we're you drunk when you wrote this. This song is VERY bitter and spiteful, its a big fuck you to whoever its about. I personally find it very helpful at the moment as i am going through a break up and have passed the sad depressed stage and am feeling very bitter and this song is pretty much the things i want to say or feel without me having to open my mouth. Amazing song

    I guess that since this is a man who loves to drink a lot (We know this from other songs like "I Can't Stop Laughing" and "Ishmael and Maggie"), he has a negative opinion of someone who doesn't drink. He broke up with her for this reason and now he is mocking her for not drinking.

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/

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.
