There ain't no hidden treasure, in this pot of gold you see.
Ain't no way you're going to make, no silk purse outta me.

Well I'm never ever gonna change your ways, I'll take you as you are.
You got something that I want, and that's a way to start.

What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.

I told you that I loved you, right from the very start.
Now don't you make me start again, baby and open up my heart.

Well I know that I'm no angel, can say my first time out.
But you can count on what I've got, 'cause what I've got's enough.

What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.

When it's cold I want it hot, I've always wanted what it not.
But when it comes to loving you, I'm yours no matter what you do.

Oh, you're my baby, I'm your man, this is not an angel's plan.

Can't you see it, it's a fact, loving you is where it's at.

(What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.)

What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
