Please don't come around talking 'bout that you love me
'Cause that love just ain't for me
I don't wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doing is running your mind games
Don't you know that game repeats game?
So your best bet is to be straight with me

So you say you wanna talk, let's talk
If you won't talk, I'll walk
Yeah, it's like that
I got a new man, he's waitin' out back
Now what, whatcha think about that?
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
What you wanna say?
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

Please don't come around talking 'bout how you changed
How you said goodbye to what's-her-name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right when I thought I'd be much better off without you
Had to get myself from 'round you
'Cause my life was all about you

So you say you wanna talk, I don't
Say you wanna change, I won't
Yeah, it's like that
Had your chance, won't take you back
Now what, whatcha think about that?
And when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
What you wanna say?
I had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

Don't you wish you could turn the hands of time?
Don't you wish that you still were mine?
Don't you wish I'd take you back?
Don't you wish that things were simple like that? Oh
Didn't miss a good thing 'til it's gone
But I knew it wouldn't be long
'Til you came running back
Missing my love, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

So there you go, there you go

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
