I love it when they try to get intimate
Even though they know I really ain't into it
(You're not into it?) I'm not into it
I already know the game and I've been through it
See I buy my own bags, my boots, my jeans
Wear LaRok with my Rebel Yell underneath
You wanna step to me? (Said you got a long way to go)
Rock with me now

You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to front when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
'Cause you know your girlfriend wanna be me
(Uh, I'ma tell you why you can't)
Said you got a long way to go
(Say you wanna love me?)

Wanna love me, wanna touch me
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go (got a long way to go)
Don't know how to act, better fall back (uh, better fall back)
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go (uh)
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? You got a long way to go (got a long way to go)
I'ma bad girl, you wanna get close
Ease up 'cause you got a long way

I love it when they try to get scandalous
Even though they know they really can't handle it
(They can't handle it?) They can't handle it
Tryna take me out to dinner, I'll cancel it
If you really wanna know me first of all
You should never try to get too personal
'Cause I meant it when I said
(That you got a long way to go)
Yeah, uh

You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to front when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
'Cause you know your girlfriend wanna be me
(Uh, I'ma tell you why you can't)
Said you got a long way to go
(Say you wanna love me?)

Wanna love me, wanna touch me
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go (got a long way to go)
Don't know how to act, better fall back (uh)
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go (uh)
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? You got a long way to go (got a long way to go)
I'ma bad girl, you wanna get close
Ease up 'cause you got a long way

You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to front when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
'Cause you know your girlfriend wanna be me (uh, yeah)
Said you got a long way to go
(Say you wanna love me?)

Wanna love me, wanna touch me
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go (way to go)
Don't know how to act, better fall back
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go (ooh, you got a long way)
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? You got a long way to go
I'ma bad girl, you wanna get close (I'ma bad girl)
Ease up 'cause you got a long way to go

Wanna love me, wanna touch me
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go
Don't know how to act, better fall back
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy (ooh, you got a long way)
You wanna please me? You got a long way to go (yeah)
Said you got a long way to go

Rock with me now
Got a long way to go, uh
Yeah, uh
Better fall back
Said you got a long way to go

    I think Cassie's MV explains the meaning of this song pretty well. This song's about meeting someone that you've seen on the internet (dating sites/myspace/etc) in the clubs on night.

    You get them friend requests promoting themselves, claiming that they're "so hot" and yadeya. But you know that they're only trying to font behind their computer screen names. Then you meet them one night at the clubs and they take their chance to crack onto you thinking that they can handle you. In this song, Cassie's rejecting the sleazy/obsessed guy saying that she's too good for him and that he's "got a long way to go" in life and status before he's good enough to approach her.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
