All you want from me
Are three little words
But you just get me laughing
A quiet sound
I know I'm with you now
But this all might end
So save all the "I love you"s
And let's not pretend

Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then
I love you, no
Those three words that begin
With three words always end

You can be a little full-on
Cause I know what you need
That really doesn't mean
You'll get it from me
Lying to yourself
Doesn't make it easier
"Save us both the time
Let's be together
We'll be fine"
You say, but

Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then
I love you, no
Those three words that begin
With three words always end

Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then, no
Those three words that begin
With three words always end

Plead for time
And you might understand
Feelings have no thoughts
And they ain't got any plans
So don't be surprised
When I look in your eyes
For all I want from you
Is a kiss or two

Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then
I love you, no
Those three words that begin
With three words always end
I love you, no

You won't hear it
You won't hear it now
You won't hear it then, no
Those three words that begin
With three words always end

Cause you don't know
What I'm talking about
Well you'll see it written
In the clouds

Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then
I love you, no
Those three words that begin
With three words always end
I love you, no
Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then
I love you, no

Cause you won't hear it
Cause you won't
Cause you won't
Cause you won't hear it now
Cause you won't hear it now
And you won't hear it then
Those three words that begin
With three words always end

And you know we can pretend

    I agree with RiotAngel

    The music video story doesn't really go with the lyrics though. Its about an amazing pool player who always wins and Vince who is an amazing Pinball player. Basically the pool player looses a game and also looses his fans and the fans move to Vince who gets the top score for the pinball. I was in the music video... it was amazing. =]

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/
