She was a perfect woman
The perfect lover
The fulfillment of my dreams
She made me love her
Like I loved no other
Let me tell you what I mean

You see when I met her
I couldn't forget her
She stood out from the rest
She drove me crazy
This foxy lady
She put me through the test

I wanted to please her
And just not tease her
But I didn't know what to do
Who she was and where she came from
That nobody knew

Then one night
I was holding her tight
And burning with desire
Then I went behind to touch her back
And discovered there were wires

[CHORUS]
Electric lady, you are the one
The one I run to when I come undone
Electric lady, why'd you take my soul
Electric lady, don't you be so cold

She knew all the ways to drive me wild
A connoisseur of passion
I should've known there
Was something strange
About the power of her attraction

Here I felt I loved her true
Every time that we kissed
But now I think our love might be
The work of some scientist

I always thought she had a mighty grip
When she would squeeze me in the night
I never knew any other girl
Who could hold onto me so tight

When we'd get down, her eyes lit up
I thought it was a love reaction
It was always weird to hear three beeps
At the height of my satisfaction

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]

I never thought that this would happen
Except in a future world
But here I am, in love with my baby
And she might be a computer girl

The whole thing was through
I was getting kind of weak
My need for her was strong
I kept thinking 'bout
Those wires hanging out
But I was hoping I was wrong

So I called her up and I took her out
And I asked her to explain
And when she showed me her microchips
I thought I was insane

But then I saw a teardrop fall
From the corner of her eye
And then I knew her love was true
Because sex machines don't cry

[Repeat CHORUS 4x to fade]

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”
