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.
Reveal the secrets of your body
You feel perfect when you on me now
I don't want to leave you now
Morning, we saw the night turn into morning
Guess I gotta go right now
Ten more minutes turn into an hour
Yeah
Wish I could stop the hands of time
And lay right here for life
Tell the truth
They can't love you like I do
And we both know that
So wait until I'm back
Yeah
Overtime
I've been working overtime
And when I'm done with that
I'ma be right back, back, back
Moment, I don't wanna waste this moment
Lose myself when I'm inside of you
I might wife you, I might make that move
When we laying here
Tight up in these sheets
Look me in my eyes
Say it's everything you need
Girl, it's true
We can, we can rendezvous
Sex up on the beach in Malibu
Wish I could stop the hands of time
And lay right here for life
Tell the truth
They can't love you like I do
And we both know that
So wait until I'm back
Yeah
Overtime
I've been working overtime
And when I'm done with that
I'ma be right back, back, back
Tell the truth
They can't fuck you like I do
And we both know that
I'ma be right back, back, back
You feel perfect when you on me now
I don't want to leave you now
Morning, we saw the night turn into morning
Guess I gotta go right now
Ten more minutes turn into an hour
Yeah
Wish I could stop the hands of time
And lay right here for life
Tell the truth
They can't love you like I do
And we both know that
So wait until I'm back
Yeah
Overtime
I've been working overtime
And when I'm done with that
I'ma be right back, back, back
Moment, I don't wanna waste this moment
Lose myself when I'm inside of you
I might wife you, I might make that move
When we laying here
Tight up in these sheets
Look me in my eyes
Say it's everything you need
Girl, it's true
We can, we can rendezvous
Sex up on the beach in Malibu
Wish I could stop the hands of time
And lay right here for life
Tell the truth
They can't love you like I do
And we both know that
So wait until I'm back
Yeah
Overtime
I've been working overtime
And when I'm done with that
I'ma be right back, back, back
Tell the truth
They can't fuck you like I do
And we both know that
I'ma be right back, back, back

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.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/

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.
