Okay it's alright with me some things are just meant to be
It never comes easily and when it does I'm already gone
I'm practically never still more likely to move until I end up alone at will
My life continues inching along

When Bernadette comes I get lost on her tide
She's much too sweet and she's always gonna be
When I return to her arms and her eyes
It might not be the same but it's alright with me

Okay it's alright with me some people are scared to see
What's happening frequently but I would never shy from a fight
Heartbeat with a high demand often will go hand in hand
But I'm sick of just starting plans I wanna spend the rest of my life

When Bernadette comes I get lost on her tide
She's much too sweet and she's always gonna be
And when I return to her arms and her eyes
It might not be the same but it's alright with me

It's alright wish me
It's alright with me
It's alright with me
It's alright wish me
It's alright with me
It's alright with me
Okay it's alright with me
Okay it's alright with me some things are just meant to be
It never comes easily and when it does I'm already gone

    It's actually:

    'I'm practically never still, MORE LIKELY TO MOVE UNTIL'

    heard it on the radio today. i'm starting to love this guy.

    sounds to me like a guy that loves a girl more than she loves him kinda sad. OK is alright with me, like she's not super excited about being with him, but he'll take whatever he can get

    I feel like I have a different interpretation but my take is that it's more about the singer. Like the singer is the type to have a lot of things going on and is constantly busy but then when the one he cares about comes around, everything stops and things are awesome. He wants to stop his crazy life when she's around.

    And the end of the song is kind of like he wants to settle down and really find someone special to spend time with.

    Maybe that's with this "bernadette " or not. Not sure but sort of doesn't matter. The song's about him and his busy driven life and wanting to find someone to share that with.

    Wow- actually the posted lyrics are completely wrong, here are the correct ones:

    ok it's alright with me some things are just meant to be it never comes easily and when it does i'm already gone i'm practically never still more likely to move until i end up alone at will my life continues inching along

    CHORUS when bernadette comes I get lost on her time she's much too sweet and she's always gonna be when i return to her arms and her eyes it might not be the same but it's alright with me

    ok it's alright with me some people are scared to see what's happening frequently but I would never shy from a fight heartbeat with a high demand often will go hand in hand but i'm sick of just starting plans i wanna spend the rest of my life.

    CHORUS

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
