So tired, tired of all this drama
You go your way, I go my way (no more, no more)
I want to be free

Broken heart again
Another lesson learned
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burnt
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee that I'll be fine

No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No one's gonna make me hurt again

Why'd I play the fool
Go through ups and downs
Knowing all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But that was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game, messin' with my mind)
No drama, no more in my life (no more drama in my life, no one's gonna make me hurt again)
No more tears (no more tears, I'm tired of cryin every night)
No more fears (no more fears, I really don't wanna cry)
No drama, no more in my life (no more drama in my life, I don't ever wanna hurt again)
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind

Ouh, it feels so good
When you let go of all the drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain (free from all the pain)
Free from all the game (free from all the game)
Free from all the stress (free from all the stress)
So find your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story ends for me
But I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whether we win or lose
And I choose to win

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more games, I'm tired, I'm so tired)
No drama (no more, no more)
No more in my life (no more, no more, no more)

No more drama (I'm tired of all this drama)
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama

No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama

Oh no, oh no, no more, no more, no more drama, no more drama
In my, in my
Life
I'm so tired
I'm so tired (so tired of all this drama)

    It means letting go of the past, figuring out what you want and then going forward.

    This song is about a woman who's just fed up with all the unessacery drama that goes on in life.

    Wow this song reminds me so much of this little situation I'm in. To cut it short one of my good "friends" kissed my boyfriend and tried to break us up...i especially like this line/phrase, whatever:

    Broken heart again Another lesson learned Better know your friends Or else you will get burned

    Yes ... for the most part I hate contemporary R & B, but Mary J. Blige could win even me over. She is an incredible woman with extraordinary talent. This song is immensely powerful ... it's about wanting to simplify and letting go of all the unnecessary drama.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
