Don't try to tell me you're the only one
Don't ever me that you're mine
You hear that I've been running around
Now you're asking why
Don't start asking why he's running around
Don't try to find out why
Don't go looking where you shouldn't look
'Cause you won't like what you find
You think that you're the only one
How about you take a look around
(take a look around)
I never had trouble getting girls I don't need
(you're just a face in the crowd)
You're not the one, not the one
And not only that you're not anyone, anyone
You're not anyone
Yeah you're not the one, not the one
You're not anyone at all
Don't try to tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
You better hear me say
(you better wise up)
It can never be that way
(you're on the way out)
You better hear me say
It can never be that way
Don't try to tell me you're the only one
You're not anyone at all
(you're on the way out)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
You're not anyone at all
(you're on the way out)
You're on your way out
You're not the one, not the one
And not only that you're not anyone, anyone
You're not anyone
(you're on your way out)
Yeah you're not the one, not the one
You're not anyone at all
(You're on your way out)
You're not the one, not the one
And not only that you're not anyone, anyone
You're not anyone
(you're on your way out)
Yeah you're not the one, not the one
You're not anyone at all
(You're on your way)
You're not the one, not the one
And not only that you're not anyone, anyone
You're not anyone
Yeah you're not the one, not the one
You're not anyone at all
Don't ever me that you're mine
You hear that I've been running around
Now you're asking why
Don't start asking why he's running around
Don't try to find out why
Don't go looking where you shouldn't look
'Cause you won't like what you find
You think that you're the only one
How about you take a look around
(take a look around)
I never had trouble getting girls I don't need
(you're just a face in the crowd)
You're not the one, not the one
And not only that you're not anyone, anyone
You're not anyone
Yeah you're not the one, not the one
You're not anyone at all
Don't try to tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
Don't ever tell me you're the only one
(not the one)
You better hear me say
(you better wise up)
It can never be that way
(you're on the way out)
You better hear me say

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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
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.
i think the lyrics are pretty straightforward-- a person telling someone else that they aren't important to them, that they are somewhat disposable and shouldn't start thinking that they mean anything to that person since they're "not anyone at all"
"Don't try to tell me you're the only one Don't ever me that you're mine You hear that I've been running around Now you're asking why"
His girlfriend has heard that he's been seen with other women and she's started to ask him why. And how she thought she was the only one for him. And he's telling her that he's not her one and only.
"Don't start asking why he's running around Don't try to find out why Don't go looking where you shouldn't look 'Cause you won't like what you find"
I'm not sure who's saying this... the voice in her head OR her friends. They're telling her to not ask questions, don't try and find out why he's seeing all these women. It's pretty self-explanatory.
I think the song is about a guy cheating on his girlfriend, but he's not afraid of her to find out. She thinks he's her one and only true love. Except he doesn't think that, in fact, he thinks she's 'nothing at all'.
