The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Why is my baby blue
Can't see the colors
Of a sunny day
Stuck in that point of view
What can I do to take your tears away
I'm not denying
There's a time for crying
Just tell me why you look so sad tonight
I know its crazy
Living in a world these days but
If you take me by the hand
Oh oh oh
There's nothing my love can't fix
For you baby
I'm positive of this
I tell you
Oh oh oh
There's nothing my love can't fix
For you baby
Aw girl
Please look in my caring eyes
I'll take you up so high
You'll start forgetting
You were ever down
Kisses will dry your eyes
This is the way to
Turn your world around
We all get lonely
But if you just hold me
We both can go beyond the stars tonight
Oh, once you have it
Love works like magic
Just open
Open up your heart
Oh oh oh
there's nothing my love can't fix
For you baby
I'm positive of this
I'll tell you
There's nothing my love can't fix
For you baby
Love is the glue that binds us
When we get lost it finds us
You'll lose your blues soon
'cause baby my love is true
Break it
1 2 3
Oh, once you have it
Love works like magic
Just open up your heart
Oh oh oh
There's nothin' my love can't fix
For you baby
I'm positive of this
I'll tell you
Oh oh oh
there's nothing my love can't fix
For you baby
Oh oh oh
There's nothin' my love can't fix
For you baby
I'm positive of this

All I gotta say is
Baby baby
I love you in every way
'cause lady
Ya gotta get away with me
Ya gotta get away with me today
'cause our love has got to shine through
And baby you got to see it too
That we were meant girl me and you
But lately you been acting
Like I smell like a zoo
Philly zoo to be exact
And hey Philly's my origin
As a matter of fact
But lets get back to the subject at hand
Baby baby baby
Oh you is back in demand
When I look at you girl
My heart goes right into a whirl
And all I gotta say about the situation
Oh oh oh yeah
there's nothin' my love can't fix
Can't see the colors
Of a sunny day
Stuck in that point of view
What can I do to take your tears away
I'm not denying

I know its crazy
Living in a world these days but

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I wasn't the market for this song when it first came out, but I loved it then, and I love it now. It's so stupid but sweet and catchy like bird flu. I remember when its video premiered on "Blossom". WHOA! They should have played this on "Dancing with the Stars" when Joey. . . excuse me. . . Joe was on.
Oh, and it's about a love that makes everything alright. It's the most important thing, and all other things -- especially the bad stuff -- pale in comparison.
