I wasn't sure of when but I
Knew there'd come a time when I
Would feel this way about someone
And always need them by my side

You could make me want to leave the one I'm with
And never wonder why
If I was ever given something else
I'd give it back 1000 times
There is just something hard for me to grasp
How it was I could survive
If I would have to live my life without
1000 times

I've felt so strong for you ever since
The day you caught my eyes and I
Can't help but wonder if my life
Is turning upside down this time

I wasn't sure of when but I
Knew there'd come a time when I
Would feel this way about someone
And always need them by my side

You could make me want to leave the one I'm with
And never wonder why
If I was ever given something else
I'd give it back 1000 times
There is just something hard for me to grasp
How it was I could survive
If I would have to live my life without
1000 times

You could make me want to leave the one I'm with
And never wonder why
If I was ever given something else
I'd give it back 1000 times
There is just something hard for me to grasp
How it was I could survive
If I would have to live my life without
1000 times

    I had been dating a girl for about 2 years until she moved away for college. She was the love of my life and nobody compared to her. but regardless we decided to take some time apart in college to make certain of our love. eventually after about 6 months i had gone on a few dates but no matter who i met, i knew that i would always love her and would drop anyone if she came back to me.

    this song hurts me every time i hear it. my boyfriend cheated on me and SHE was the one that could make him leave the one he loved. so this song isn't as mushy as everyone thinks it is.

    i commented earlier, this song to me is so so deep, because i share the same with the meaning, I have someone that is special to the rest, unique from all, to me she is the one i'd give up everything for, she is my best friend and i'm in love with her deeply and even though she doesnt feel the same for me I'd still give anything for her, give it all back 1000 times for a chance to be with her. this song explains it so well. instantly a song that i think i must have listened to at least 1000 times. To the guys of C.O.N. thanks for putting a song out in the words i couldnt explain.

    I love this song, C.O.N. is awesome. This song makes me wanna cry everytime I hear it. I first heard this song a couple days after the girl I was in love with broke up with me. Whenever I hear it, all of those feelings come back to me. I would give anything to be able to talk to her for only 10 minutes...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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,

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
