If I could erase, everyone of my mistakes
Tell me would it make you want to come over
And work this out with me
And I'd do whatever it takes just meet me half way
All I want is for you to come over and work this out(work this out)with me.

What's wrong with me, why can't I do right
You promised me you'd give me your life
If I could be more then just a typical
Guy to lie to your face

How could I do, the things that I said I wouldn't do
Give them the same, I give to you
Am I just a pitiful franken as your worth-(Not sure what it says there lol.)

You told me that before
Promised that I wouldn't go there no more
You gave me all of you, but what did I go do
And everytime I had a chance to get into another n****s womans pants
I would follow through, not thinking of me and you

[Chorus]
If I could erase, everyone of my mistakes
Tell me would it make you want to come over
and work this out with me
And I'd do whatever it takes just meet me half way
All I want is for you to come over and work this out(work this out)with me.

As bad as I want you right here,
Empathize with the way that you feel,
Took away the things, that you called your kids(I'm so sorry baby I'm needing you)
If you can find the feeling you had from the start you know we should never be apart
I'm asking can you to please listen to me

Well you told me that before
Promised that I wouldn't go there no more
You gave me all of you, but what did I go do
And everytime I had a chance to get into another n****s womans pants
I would follow through, not thinking of me and you

[Chorus: x2]

If I could erase, everyone of my mistakes
Tell me would it make you want to come over
And work this out with me
And I'd do whatever it takes just meet me half way
All I want is for you to come over and work this out(work this out)with me.

Well I want you to come over and talk to me
I know I don't deserve to be apart of anyone tryin' to give me their heart(but I'm in need)
Baby please, come on over and talk to me
I see you lookin' like I've seen you look before
'Cause your the only one to show me real love(I'm in need)

[Chorus: x3]

If I could erase, everyone of my mistakes
Tell me would it make you want to come over
And work this out with me
And I'd do whatever it takes just meet me half way
All I want is for you to come over and work this out(work this out)with me.

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.

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."
