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.
(To deal with a dude like me baby. You gotta be the H.B.I.C.
The head bitch in charge calling all the shots baby.
Can't be scared to gamble.
Gotta roll the dice.
Feel me? Scared money don't make none.)
Shorty look I know my ego looking forty foot.
Big chain and not talking bout the naughty look.
Mine Gotti unless I'm looking for the sporty look.
He young and rich and bitch that go without a argument.
My kicks brown and now I'm looking for Rhianna n' dem'.
Smoke junky, kush funkier than parliament.
What's the problem then girl fuck apartments.
Move in with me on the beach now your top ten.
You can do the spa
See a newer car.
These my feelings and I'm really feeling who you are.
Baby light brown, with the right smile.
First lady and she ready for the White House.
[Chorus: Rick Ross]
Baby you, you shine just like I do.
Just like your supposed to.
Everyone knows your the bosses girl.
My diamond, envy of all yo friends.
Big moves that we're making.
Got us on top of the world.
Your the bosses girl.
(I got nothing but love for you baby)
Baby your the bosses girl
(I love to pay yo bills baby)
Oh
(It excites me! You know what I'm talking bout?)
Fresh limousines, tall waterfalls.
Valet at the crib, my cars I love em' all.
Boss Lady, she the head bitch in charge.
She asks for head first so she gets it off top.
Champagne pop, rubber band knots.
Multi-millionaire no that other man not.
Let her call the shots, she want me on the top.
And the way I want it, it will be a month before I stop.
Kinda walk funny.
Stubble out the bed
Snap of her finger niggas picking up her tabs.
Walking through the mall got me carrying her bags.
I gotta pause cause this motherfuckers bad.
[Chorus:]
Baby you, you shine just like I do.
Just like your supposed to.
Everyone knows your the bosses girl.
My diamond, envy of all ya friends
Big moves that we're making.
Got us on top of the world
Your the bosses girl
(I love you baby) Ohh
Baby your the bosses girl
(Feels good when you say it)
Your the bosses girl
(I love you baby)
Cursing down Collins, knocking Trick Daddy.
When I'm upset all my niggas trigga happy.
Do me a favor, watch your behavior.
Cause I'm insane send you straight to yo Savior.
Looking at my savings baby I can save ya.
Take ya parasol and go straight to Jamaica.
Ya man a boti boy, with the bumbaclots.
You deserve better,
6 car garage,
Come in late night
So I'm airport.
As I take flight,
I'm ya Air Jordan.
We the world champs.
Come and ball with us
Gotta take my time when I put my all in her.
Chorus: repeat til end]
The head bitch in charge calling all the shots baby.
Can't be scared to gamble.

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
