Whatcha been doing?
Whatcha been doing?
Whoa, whoa
Haven't seen you around

How you been feeling?
How you been feeling?
Whoa, whoa
Don't you bring me down

All that stuff about me
Being with him can't believe
All the lies that you told
Just to ease your own soul

But I'm bigger than that
No you don't have my back
No, no, ha

Hey how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Well, I'm sorry (I'm sorry) that he called me
And that I answered the telephone
Don't be worried, I'm not with him
And when I go out tonight, I'm going home alone

Just got back from my tour
I'm a mess girl for sure
All I want is some fun
Guess that I better run

Hollywood sucks you in
But it won't spit me out
Whoa, whoa, ha

Hey how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you look at your own life
'Stead of looking into mine?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you're leaving me alone?
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha

Please stop telling all your friends
I'm getting sick of them
Always staring at me
Like I took him from ya

Hey how long 'til the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you face what's going on?
'Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you look at your own life
'Stead of looking into mine?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey how long 'til you're leaving me alone?
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend

Whoa, whoa, whoa (ha)
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend
Whoa, whoa, whoa (ha)
Whoa, I didn't steal your boyfriend

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
