Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo
Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo
Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo
Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo

Ooh, brand new boots I bought ya,
Fine, fine, blew your mind
Finally thought I caught ya
And your love was mine all mine

I see you walk by with other guys,
Step, step, steppin' on my toes
The whole world's talkin' 'bout
How I'm your stand by Santa Claus

But ooh, your kisses thrill me,
Sure love your angel eyes
The devil in you kills me,
But I made up my mind

I'm gonna be your sugar daddy,
Give you honey all my money
Well L.A. to Cincinnati
That's how far I'd crawl for you
Oh baby I'll be your sugar daddy,
Give you kissin' when it's missin', yeah
Oh baby, I'll try to keep you happy
'Cause I got a sweet tooth for your love

S-U-G, listen to me, listen to me
A-R, what it is, what it is
D-A-D-D-Y spells I'm your good thing

King of fools they crowned me
And that crown just fits me to a "T"
'Cause you only come around me
Just to pick up what you need

You just play on my emotions,
With please, please, pretty please
Well everybody's go the notion
I'm your goodwill industry (Oh Henry)

He's driving me nuts,
While I'm giving you the candy,
He's gettin' all your love
(Mary Jane said)
Mary Jane said I'm just your lollipop, sucker
Well my flavor's long lasting girl,
It ain't never gonna stop, no

Baby I'm a fool
Just a fool in love with you (I can't help myself, oh no)
Oh no I can't help myself

I'm gonna be your sugar daddy,
Give you honey all my money
Well L.A. to Cincinnati
That's how far I'd crawl for you
Oh baby I'll be your sugar daddy,
Give you kissin' when it's missin'
I'll even let you drive my caddy,
When I get one baby
Oh oh oh I'm gonna be your sugar daddy,
Give you honey, all my money
Well L.A. to Cincinnati
That's how far I'd crawl for you

    I love this song! It's my fave Jackson 5 song by far. It's so catchy and the mix of happy strings and pop guitar with the great bridge is awesome! Also it's really fun to sing along to!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
