Boys With Girlfriends

Meiko

When I first met you I knew you were the one
Till you took me home and met her
She had your boxers on
She was listening to your song
And I thought right then that you had everything

[Chorus]
But I knew
She was jealous from the start
Yeah I knew
She was jealous from the start

Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh I know better than that I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that, I know better

We started hanging around after 9
I could've sworn you I was yours
You looked at me and said
Its a little too late for bed
We went to Hopesal and
Talked about everything

[Chorus]

Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh I know better than that I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that, I know better

What she did to us was tragic
And I have to do what's right
What we had was really magic
But I have to get what's mine
I don't get what's mine
And you get yours

Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh I know better than that I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that, I know better

Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh I know better than that I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that, I know better

    why do people think this song is cocky and immature? so many people go through what this song is saying. the lyrics to this song are brilliant.

    i have to say this song is amazing. and i'm usually not into this kind of music. so that has to say something good. (:

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
