Workin', workin' up a black sweat [Repeat: x4]

I don't want to take my clothes off,
But I do.
I don't want to turn nobody on,
Unless it's you.
I don't want to dance to hard, baby
But this is a groove (yes it is! Fonky)
I'm hot, and I don't care who knows it,
I got a job to do (think I ain't, come on)

I'm workin', workin' up a black sweat
I'm workin', workin' up a black sweat
I'm workin', oooh!
Workin' up a black sweat
Workin', workin' up a black sweat

I don't want to hurt your pride,
But I got to (got to hurt 'em, gonna hurt 'em)
You better take your woman and hide, (hide)
I'm about to (come, what you gotta do boy! got to, got to)
Honey what's really good (sugar what's really good)
Break you off like you knew I would
I got a brand new dance
I got a brand new dance
And it's called the

Workin', workin' up a black sweat
I'm workin', workin' up a black sweat
I'm workin'
Workin' up a black sweat
Workin', workin' up a black sweat
Workin' up a black sweat
Workin'

Breakdown
You can act hard if you want to
This groove will make you sweet
You be screamin' like a white lady
When I count two three
One, two, three!

Workin', workin' up a black sweat
I'm workin', workin' up a black sweat
I'm workin', workin' up a black
Oh, workin' up a black, hey!
Black sweat.

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.

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.
