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.
That's right just get it
Let you feel it
Make you lose control
This is that hip-hop flavor mixed with a lil bit of rock and roll
Valet your whip, grab your chick
You know how it goes
I got that shit, I got them beats that'll make you lose control
Step up in the club, so fresh and clean
Not the outcast that they label me
I'm rolling with a team, that roll so deep
We in and out the club everyday of the week
And I make them hits, when the beat drop
That's when you here me say say hold up, stop
Let me take you back to five o'clock
When I roll the Lamborghini off the block
But not before I made them chop the top
And throw some twenty shoe's, oh that's hot
Hit Nastros For a bite to eat
No tuxedo 'cause they recognize me
Her lifestyle, the rich living, the fast cars
Don't hate 'cause I'm a superstar and I married a superstar
Never come between us no matter who you are, c'mon
That's right just get it
Let you feel it
Make you lose control
This is that hip-hop flavor mixed with a lil bit of rock and roll
Valet your whip, grab your chick
You know how it goes
I got that shit, I got them beats that'll make you lose control
Closet full of kicks
Garage full of whips
Vegas crap table got the pit ball sticks
They never seen a kid win like this
So rich, that I tattoo the dice on my wrist
And my girl too, It's no coincidence that SRT got all black tints
I've never been a digger but I rock 'em nuggets
One earring cost more than your budget
I ain't here to brag I'm just here to pop tags
My Ferrari cost more than your lil S-class
Look man I'm in a whole 'nother tax bracket
It don't matter what you blow, boy you can't match it
Forty grand I take the whole crew to Miami
Then we pop Crys off like they won Grammy's
I take care of my own, that's my family
Magazine talk 'cause they don't understand me
That's right just get it
Let you feel it
Make you lose control
This is that hip-hop flavor mixed with a lil bit of rock and roll
Valet your whip, grab your chick
You know how it goes
I got that shit, I got them beats that'll make you lose control
That's right just get it
Let you feel it
Make you lose control
This is that hip-hop flavor mixed with a lil bit of rock & roll
Valet your whip, grab your chick
You know how it goes
I got that shit, I got them beats that'll make you lose control
Let you feel it
Make you lose control
This is that hip-hop flavor mixed with a lil bit of rock and roll
Valet your whip, grab your chick
You know how it goes
I got that shit, I got them beats that'll make you lose control

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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/
