Did you intimidate her?
Her mother says you wouldn't let her use the phone
Or were you intoxicated
passed the point of knowing what was going on

better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the t.v. set
hoping your gone for the corner bar
here we are after dark
knocking back the makers mark
scrounging up the dollars from my buddy's car
and

lean on sheena
she leans on me a lot
hold on, hold on, hold on to what you've got

intimidate her
how'd you make her feel?
worse than she did before

and i heard you
came back later
had the upstairs neighbors
banging on the floor

better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the t.v. set
hoping your gone for the corner bar
here we are after dark
knocking back the makers mark
scrounging up the dollars from my buddy's car
and

lean on sheena
she leans on me a lot
hold on, hold on, hold on to what you've got
hold on to what you've got

intimidate her
Her mother said you wouldn't let her use the phone
were you intoxicated
passed the point of knowing WHAT WAS GOING ON

better yet, don't forget, leave the keys on the t.v. set (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
hoping your gone for the corner bar (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

here we are after dark (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
knocking back the makers mark (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
scrounging up the dollars from my buddy's car (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
and

lean on sheena
she leans on me a lot and
hold on, hold on, hold on to what you've got
hold on to what you've got
[x2]

HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU GOT!!!
better yet, don't forget, grab your keys off the t.v. set (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
say goodbye to the corner bar (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
not a friend till' the end (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
but she's never coming back again (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
now its on my mind and in my heart and (Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
lean on sheena [x2]

lean on sheena
she leans on me a lot and
hold on, hold on, hold on to what you've got

    This is my favorite song on the new Bouncing Souls CD! I don't know why, it just flows well lyrically and melody wise. It amused me when I saw they named a black widow spider that was staying in the bathroom of their studio "Sheena" as well. They must like that name. Any way check out their whole CD "The Gold Record"

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
