The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I don't wanna be calling your phone
I don't care what time you get home
And I hate the fact that you live so damn close to me
I don't like that I can't stop thinking bout you
And I hate that you walk like you do (ohh baby)
But it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
Girl it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
It's your thighs, your lips, your calves, your lips,
It's your hair, did I mention your lips
[Chorus]
Why I behold you
Why do I want you
Always and forever
Always and forever
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
I don't want to be pickin' you up,
Taking you on dates and shi*
I don't wana be payin' your bills,
Gettin' you all spoiled and shi*
Don't want you to decorate my house but I can't help it
Girl you make me feel so comfortable
I'd be damned if I let you go (oh)
But it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
Girl it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
It's your thighs, your lips, your calves, your lips,
It's your hair, did I mention your lips
[Chorus]
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
I try hard to keep my cool but I
Can't live, I can't, I shake cause I'm
So strung on you
But its cool cause I'm gettin' all my hits from you
And girl it gets to me the way that I'm feelin'
It's so crazy cause I don't know how I'm dealin'
Girl if I lose you I'm done
'Cause I know you're that one
[Chorus]
Why I behold you
Why do I want you
Always and forever
Always and forever
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
I don't care what time you get home
And I hate the fact that you live so damn close to me
I don't like that I can't stop thinking bout you
And I hate that you walk like you do (ohh baby)
But it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
Girl it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
It's your thighs, your lips, your calves, your lips,
It's your hair, did I mention your lips
[Chorus]
Why I behold you
Why do I want you
Always and forever
Always and forever
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
I don't want to be pickin' you up,
Taking you on dates and shi*
I don't wana be payin' your bills,
Gettin' you all spoiled and shi*
Don't want you to decorate my house but I can't help it
Girl you make me feel so comfortable
I'd be damned if I let you go (oh)
But it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
Girl it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
It's your thighs, your lips, your calves, your lips,
It's your hair, did I mention your lips
[Chorus]
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
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.

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.
