Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
Yeah

Broke up with my girl last night, so I went to the club (so I went to the club)
Put on a fresh white suit and the Mini coupe sittin' on dubs (sittin' on dubs)
I'm just looking for somebody to talk to and show me some love (show me some love)
If you know what I mean, uh-huh
Everybody jockin' me as soon as I stepped in the spot (I stepped in the spot)
Two hundred bitches in the buildin', ain't none of them hot (ain't none of them hot)
Except for this pretty young thang that was workin' all the way at the top (all the way at the top)
Shawty, what is your name?

Ooh, she made us drinks to drink
We drunk 'em, got drunk
And then I think she thinks I'm cool
She gave me a wink, I winked back
And then I think that we hit it off something proper like

I like the bartender (ooh, if you're lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (oh-oh-oh, okay)
I like the bartender (yeah, if you're lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (oh-oh-oh, okay)

Got a brand new girl, so I'm feeling all good inside (all good inside)
Feel like I put some brand new 24's on a brand new ride (on a brand new ride)
Triple shot of Patron on the rocks with little bit of lime (with a little bit of lime)
I'm just keeping it real (uh-huh)
Baby still working at the club, so I'm gettin' in free (so I'm gettin' in free)
Wednesday night, I'm on the list, T-Pain plus three (T-Pain plus three)
Every time I hit the spot, baby girl takin' care of me (takin' care of me)
How do you think I feel?

Ooh, she made us drinks to drink
We drunk 'em, got drunk
And now I know she thinks I'm cool
She gave me a wink, I winked back
And then I think that we gon' have fun at my spot tonight

I like the bartender (ooh, if you're lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (oh-oh-oh, okay)
I like the bartender (yeah, if you're lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (oh-oh-oh, okay)

Shorty, I'm sure you heard that I rarely ever come out (never come out)
Unless I'm in the M6 doing tricks, freeway burnt out (freeway burnt out)
Got a passenger side that's empty, wanting it to be your spot (be your spot)
Put you on my billboard, we can act like the charts, I can end up on top (end up on top)
Don't smoke, don't drink, that's why I don't be by the bar, baby (baby)
Just lookin' at you from a distance looking like a goddamn star, baby (baby)
So, my girl don't see me, T-Pain, can I get those keys to the car? (Those keys to the car)
'Bout to go and bang bang boogie with my cutie, and I'll see you tomor' (see you tomor')

Ooh, she made us drinks to drink
We drunk 'em, got drunk
And now I know she thinks I'm cool
She gave me a wink, I winked back (uh-huh)
And then I think that (uh-huh) we gon' have fun at my spot tonight (oh, yes, we will)

I like the bartender (ooh, if you're lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (oh-oh-oh, okay)
I like the bartender (yeah, if you're lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (oh-oh-oh, okay)

    Omg omg this song is so good!! [if your deaf] This just shows how pointless rap and hip hop music has gotten.

    Honestly wtf? Bartenders? Laffy taffy? Umberellas?

    Such stupidity yet people by into it. I don't get it?

    Where's the point? The meaning? There's none.

    I know t-pain isn't shakespear, but atleast put some thought into the music you release...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

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.
