You are a chainsaw through my heart
Ripping right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong

You get on my nerves, you make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away and I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how

Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears

Then you'll take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again

Goddamn, how you make me scream and shout
I don't wanna run around my room and pout
But you make me do it and I can't hardly stand it
You've got my heart and you know you've always had it

But now you're so far away
And there's no way to make you pay
So I'll go around my room and break anything I want
And in my head imagine breaking your heart

Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears

You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said

You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said

You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said

You're such a tease, you're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again

You are a chainsaw through my heart
Ripping right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong

You get on my nerves, you make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away and I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how

    yeah but you have to admit that its definitley a good tune in itself. makes you get up and dance. that line is kindof tacky, but the rest of the lyrics really go to heart with me so im in love.

    it annoys me that they rhymed "pout" with "shout". that's just such a predictable, unoriginal rhyme... not their best.

    holy balls. i actually really don't get when people say they don't like get awkward... how could you not !? :S the songs are actually about SOMETHING. personally though, i prefer listening to get awkward. half the songs get you in a kick ass mood, and the other half is reserved for when you're pissed, or hating your friends or the people where you live.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
