Baby, you're just a user
I know you've been running around
Well, girl, I'm not the loser you think
I ain't nobody's clown
You're not gonna get the best of me
There are three or four girls I got on a string
Tonight I'm going out, and I'll do my thing
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat
Tit for tat

Baby, I mean to show you
Messing 'round doesn't pay
You're gonna get back what I owe you in spades
Double trouble's coming your way
You're not gonna get the best of me
When I make up my mind, I'm a go-getter
I can do what you do, but I do it much better
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat
Tit for tat

What's good for the goose
Is good for the gander
And I'm gonna do myself right
Baby, you'll discover
I'm some kind of lover
The barn door's open tonight

Girl, you're just a hassle
Kicking my heart around
A man's home is his castle of love
But you tore the damn thing down
You're not gonna get the best of me, no
I'm splitting the scene; gonna have me some fun
Tonight number two is gonna be number one
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat
Tit for tat

You're not gonna get the best of me
I'm splitting the scene; gonna have me some fun
Tonight number two is gonna be number one
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat
I'm telling you
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat

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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
