Money can't buy ya
Money can't buy ya
Money can't buy ya Honeyz

You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down

You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down

You keep acting strange whenever she's around
You're headed for danger, let there be no doubt
Sneaking round here late, creeping out the house
Honey, my suspicion is the only thing
Gonna be getting aroused

Boy, I won't take it lying down
Find you've been messing around
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down
I'm gonna give it to you direct
Boy, don't give me no disrespect
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down

Said the sweetest things, caught me off my guard
Promised me a diamond ring
Said he'd put it on his platinum card
How was I to know he was hitting on my best friend
Telling me then telling her the same sweet lies
Over and over again

When you gonna wake up (wake up)
When you gonna wake up to reality
(You ain't getting nothing from me, oh, no)
When you gonna wake up (wake up)
When you gonna wake up to reality
(Uh, gonna make a scene, gonna make a scene)
Money can't buy you Honeyz

Boy, I won't take it lying down
Find you've been messing around
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down
I'm gonna give it to you direct
Boy, don't give me no disrespect
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down

There ain't no smoke without fire
That boy's a natural liar
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground (hey, yeah)
Boy, I won't take it lying down
He'll tell you whatever you want to hear
And when he's done he'll disappear
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
(Better believe it)
Boy, I won't take it lying down

You keep acting strange whenever she's around
You're headed for danger, let there be no doubt
Sneaking around here late, creeping out the house
Honey, my suspicion is the only thing
Gonna be getting aroused

Honeyz, money can't buy ya
Boy, I won't take it lying down
Find you've been messing around
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground (hey)
Boy, I won't take it lying down
I'm gonna give it to you direct
Boy, don't give me no disrespect
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground (hey)
Boy, I won't take it lying down

There ain't no smoke without fire
That boy's a natural liar
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground
Boy, I won't take it lying down
He'll tell you whatever you want to hear
And when he's done he'll disappear
You'd better believe I'll stand my ground (more lying)
Boy, I won't take it lying down (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)..

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
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,
