You said I was the most exotic flower
Holding me tight in our final hour
I don't know how you convince them and get them, boy
I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable
And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you

One for the money and two for the show
I love you, honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant
Look like a million dollar man
So why is my heart broke?

You got the world but, baby, at what price?
Something so strange, hard to define
It isn't that hard, boy, to like you or love you
I'd follow you down, down, down, you're unbelievable
If you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I'd follow you down, down, down, anywhere, anywhere

One for the money and two for the show
I love you, honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant
Look like a million dollar man
So why is my heart broke?

One for the money and two for the show
I love you, honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant
Look like a million dollar man
So why is my heart broke?

I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant
Look like a million dollar man
So why is my heart broke?

    "You said I was the most exotic flower Holding me tight in our final hour" he's good with words. compliments here, makes her feel the sexiest she's ever felt

    "I don't know how you convince them and get them, but I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable" he can get anyone to do anything. people just love him because there is something straight up magical about his presence. everyone wants, respects & listens to him. "And I don't know how you get over, get over Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you" he's destroyed & dark like her, complicated, twisted, damaged, just like her. she doesnt know how to get over someone who gets her darkness, and whose darkness is so intriguing and mysterious that she cant help but be in love with it and everything else about him.

    "One for the money, and two for the show I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go How did you get that way? I don't know You're screwed up and brilliant, Look like a million dollar man, So why is my heart broke?" he's also rich and successful. he can afford her. shes in love with him for him and his heart, not his money, but thats nice too. he looks sexy and expensive and that makes her want him. theres a double entendre in the last two lines though. "you look like a million dollar man so why is my heart broke?" she doesnt say broken (which would be grammatically correct) she says broke, which means her heart is broken and broke...it has nothing left. like a millionaire who goes broke.

    "You got the world but baby at what price? Something so strange, hard to define" he worked his life away to succeed. he whored himself out, gave up everything he is to get where he is---successful. now he has money that he essentially gave his life for and hes broken and destroyed because of it. it's hard to define because she doesnt know what parts of himself he lost in pursuit of his success. he's just missing certain elements of normality because he gave up normality and sanity for success.

    "It isn't that hard boy to like you or love you I'd follow you down down down, You're unbelievable If you're going crazy just grab me and take me I'd follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere" shes saying hes crazy but she loves him so much that shes like whatever, go crazy & take me with you. i'll love you and be crazy with you, by your side, forever.

    i know every feeling in this song. what she means, how her heart is broken and how she just cant let go even though hes crazy & dark. she cant let go even though she knows she should. she just loves him. thats all.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
