What's wrong? What are you afraid of?
The Love Below?

She stays alone, never sheds a single tear
She stays in the coolest moods, clearly woman of the year
She and all her girlfriends, they go out dressed to win
She comes back to the cooler side of town
But she lives in my lap

She lives in my lap
Forever my fiancé
She lives in my lap
Don't leave, don't stay
She lives in my lap
I'll get the courage one day

Make me want you, make me miss you
Make me wonder where you are, then forget you
Girl remind me, just who we are
We're oh so close, but yet so far

Baby why are you acting like this?
I don't care about any of them
I care about you
Baby, I love you

You've got me open wide (I love you)
Just come inside (baby)
It's yours (it's yours)
I'm yours (I'm yours)
For sure (for sure)
Play, baby, play

She lives in my lap
Forever my fiancé
She lives in my lap
Don't leave, don't stay
She lives in my lap
I'll get the courage one day

(I had a woman down)
(On my lap at all times)
(I had a woman down)
(On my lap at all times) The Love Below
(I had a woman down)
(She lives in my lap)(on my lap at all times)
(Now I'm realizing that I love her)
(On my lap at all times)
You've got me open wide (now I'm realizing that I love her)
She lives in my lap (on my lap at all times)
It's yours, I'm yours (I had a woman down)
(On my lap at all times) Play, baby, play
(I had a woman down)
(On my lap at all times)
(Now I'm realizing that I love her)
(On my lap at all times)
(Now I'm realizing that I love her)
(She lives in my lap) (on my lap at all times)
Baby, I love you (don't leave, don't stay)
Forever my fiancé
She lives in my lap
Play, baby, play

    I think that u are right to an extent about the theory about her being in his lap as a pet is... But more thoroughly, It is about her coming and going. She is not physically with him, but he holds her dear to him. He carries her close to him wherever he goes. Metephorically speaking its like he cradles her as you would a pet even though she is not physically present

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.
