Well, I'd love to know just what you're thinkin'
Every little river, running through your mind
You give and you take, you come and you go
You leave me here wondering if I'll ever know
How much you care or how much you don't
Whatever you need, whatever you want

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake
If you're gonna be somebody's first time
Somebody's last time
Baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's just friends
A little laughin', a little lovin', never callin' again
That's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Be mine, yeah
Oh, be mine

Well, I guess that all I'm trying to tell you
Is for a minute with you, is better than two without
Oh, I won't be a fool, but I can't play cool, so, I'm playin' it safe
And I'm breakin' the rules
I'm wishin' I had what I know that you got
So if you're comin' my way, then please don't stop

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake
If you're gonna be somebody's first time
Somebody's last time
Baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's just friends
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again
That's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Be mine

Oh oh oh, whoa

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Or somebody's mistake
Somebody's first time
Or their last time
Baby, be mine

If you're lookin' to be somebody's just friends
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again
That's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Be mine
(If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak)
Be mine, yeah
(If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak)

Oh, I'll take my chances
If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak (If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak)
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake
Somebody's first time
Somebody's last time (If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak)
Be mine
Oh, be mine, be mine
Baby, baby, baby be mine, all mine
If you're going to break someone's heart, yeah
It might as well, it might as well be mine

Jesse with the long hair....
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
