The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
feeling funky like a monkey
I'm the one when it's sunny
be my sugar bunny honey
and we'll ride
it's absolutely hot outside
you need a drink?
how about that glass of pink lemonade
just the shade of your lipstick,
so hick
I love it
I like my room a mess, I confess
it's the stress
of you sitting over there
sitting in my rocking chair
back and forth and back and forth and back
come on now cut some slack
I'm going stark raving mad
and you're so very bad
to do what you do
your old tricks are new to me
I'm so easy
I'm an airhead when it's breezy
I don't like it if its cheezy
but your scent makes me dizzy
it's time to get busy
cause we have all day
come outside and we'll play
you and me and you and me and you and me, got to be (repeat)
such a tease
what a flirt
t shirt and short skirt
and those cute little toes
yummy yummy some of those
little piggies gone to market
am I sick? right on target
hey now, tell me how
you got here
in your gear
looking like a princess
why you want to impress
a toad like me
kiss me I'll be charming
disarming funny but alarming
I'm starving
we'll spend a sexy afternoon
feed each other with a spoon
wash it down with some wine
that will make us feel fine
not too much just a touch
just to get the right rush
you can giggle while i sing
it's so crazy to be spring
dance around bubbles on
we can make out to the sun
and the sound of the band
groovy cool I understand
bop around in a trance
skinny herd of elephants
stare you down to the skin
I can tell where you've been
you and me could take a walk
you and I should have a talk
about the birds and the bees
and the wiggles in my knees
honey honey sugar sweet
cello groove and chunky beat
we could sweat, sopping wet, skinny dip I'm all set
I've got some time to kill
to relax and just chill
you and me and you and me and you and me, got to be (repeat)
you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
when skies are gray
you make me happy
you're pink lemonade
when skies are gray (repeat)
feeling funky like a monkey
I'm the one when its sunny
be my sugar bunny honey
and we'll ride
it's absolutely hot outside
need a drink?
how about that glass of pink lemonade
just the shade of your lipstick
its so hick
I love it
now my room is a mess
with the state of undress
and we're sitting in my chair
with my face in your hair
back and forth and back and forth and back
now we're on the right track
I'm going stark raving mad
and you're so very bad
to do what you do
you're old tricks are new to me
cause i'm easy
it's getting breezy
I feel cheezy
one sniff and I'm dizzy
it's time to get busy
cause we have all day
come outside and we'll play
you and me and you and me and you and me, got to be (repeat)
I'm the one when it's sunny

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.

this song is all about summer lovin' and sunburnt rawks for deciphering all of it
ahhh.... maybe the best happy song lyrics ive heard, ever. the sad ones are deep but depressing, this proves you can be happy and still have a brain. i was beginning to wonder...
Is this song live? all I can find is a live version.
man oh man whenever i am sad i just pump the volume up on this one and it all is better.
This song has never been studio recorded because you are my sunshine has a copyright
