When I look into your eyes
It comes as no surprise
You're slippin' away
Angie, you're the love of my life
It's so cold at night
Beggin' you to stay

I know it's all a masquerade
I know you're not afraid

You're just what I've been looking for
No other boy can love you more
You're the only girl I adore
You're just what I've been looking for

Time will mend your broken heart
Just don't fall apart
The truth will hold inside
Angie, I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let them know
The pain you have to hide

I know it's all a big charade
oh-oh, oh-oh
I know you're not afraid
No, oh-oh, oh-oh

You're just what I've been looking for
No other boy can love you more
You're the only girl I adore
You're just what I've been looking for

Just what I'm looking for
Just what I'm looking for

You're just what I've been looking for
No other boy will love you more
You're the only girl I adore
You're just what I've been looking for

You're just what I've been looking for
Just what I've been looking for

You're just what I've been looking for
Just what I've been looking for
Just what I've been looking for

    From the soundtrack for the movie "Sleepaway Camp"

    The complete title for the song is: "Angela's Theme" ("You're Just What I've Been Looking For"), but there's a limit on the number of characters we can use for song titles on here - so yeah.. I'm not the type of person to ruin movies for people by posting spoilers, but the meaning is pretty self-explanatory if you've seen the film..

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
