When I'm in the woods
I know what to call you now
When I'm in the woods
I know what to call you now

Hey Mama Wolf
Hey Mama Wolf
Well maybe the mountains know what
To call you now

Maybe the mountains know what
To call you now
Hey Mama Wolf
Hey Mama Wolf

When I'm in a womb
I know what to call you now
And when a belly blooms
I know what to call you now

Hey Mama Wolf
Hey Mama Wolf
Well I can say Marie
I know what to call you now

Swimming in the sea
I know what to call you now
And when you swim with me
I know what to call you now

And when you're under me
I know what to call you now

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
