She meticulously combs her hair
Applies mascara with the greatest care, with care, with care, the utmost care
Her hair, her hair, her hair, her long long hair
The guys discover that you're already scared, you care, they care, the others care
She puts some lipstick that is scarlet red
She's already fairly off her head
Fishnets stockings and a bottle of wine
She's fine, she's fine, she thinks she's fine.

Girls, you better watch out
Schizophrenic playboys
Scaring of your bed toys
Girls, you better watch out
Schizophrenic playboys
Scaring of your bed toys

Baby, baby when you'll come with me, with me, with me
Please come with me.
I'll show you places that you'd never be
To be, to be, to come with me
Driving faster now in his car
Now she knows that she has gone too far
In the morning she was in his bed
His bed, his bed, her eyes are red

Girls, you better watch out
Schizophrenic playboys
Scaring of your bed toys
Girls, you better watch out
Schizophrenic playboys
Scaring of your bed toys

I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out, I'm out, I'm in
Boys, you better watch out
Schizophrenic playgirls
Scaring of your bed pearls
Girls, you better watch out
Schizophrenic playboys
Scaring of your bed toys
Ra la la la

    How does this NOT have one single comment?! This song is probably my favorite from Roses. Such a great song. It's about people who play mind games. I like how she switches it up at the end to show some of the men some love too lol.. She says Boys, You better watch out.

    I always thought this was about prostitution, but I'm not really sure anymore. What is it really about?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
