I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I'm chillin at the spot and my posse's 4 deep
Had my man on my mind, turn my head what did I see
The fellas lookin fly and there was one that caught my eye
So I bit my lip switched my hips as I walked by saying
Sexy boy you're so fly, I just might give you a try
Ima write yo number in the palm of my hand
Oops I forgot I got a man

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I'm thinkin to myself should I even take a chance
Should I do what's on my mind, or should I stay down with my man
This boy got me fienin and I'm wantin' him so bad
Should I chill one night with him and risk everything I've had
Saying sexy boy you so fly, I wish I could give you a try
But my man's at home waiting for me by the phone
Sorry can't get my groove on!

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

Temptation is callin'
I be wantin' you so bad I could cry
Relationship's callin' me
To do what's wrong but I gotta do right

Temptation is callin'
I be wantin' you so bad I could cry
Relationship's callin' me
To do the wrong thing, but I wanna do right

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

Temptation is callin'
Papi wantin' you so bad I could cry
Relationship's callin' me
To do what's wrong but I gotta do right

Temptation is callin'
Papi wantin' you so bad I could cry
Relationship's callin' me
To do what's wrong but I gotta do right

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

I know you see me watching you
And I see you watching me
'Cause boy your body's callin'
And temptation is killin' me

Thou shall not think you got it like that

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
