I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me come runnin'
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around, I'm always laughin'
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no, yeah

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
Ooh, I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself

I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I touch myself
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I honestly do
I touch myself (I don't want)
I touch myself (anybody else)
I touch myself (when I think about you)
I honestly do
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself

    I heard this song was a one-hit wonder. Talk about a climax.

    This song is so much fun to sing along to, especially in the car with all your friends, yelling it at the top of your lungs! Great song- gotta love it!

    mira love, this song was NOT a one hit wonder. What about Pleasure and Pain? eh? eh? eh? I love this song...it always makes me laugh, it just has such a light hearted feel to it, and I love the way it's kind of...outrageous...I mean, I was recently at a school dance, and this song was played after we requested it, and everyone just went insane, and the teachers were all really shocked...It's things like that that make this song as awesome as it is...

    Ah, pardon me, I'm still a teen and haven't had a chance to listen to the lesser known songs of bands I barely know.

    Just this song.

    Although somewhat of a comical song,it is a lot deeper than given credit fo.Any1 that has being in deep lust over some1 and unable to get that 1 person outa your head can really appreciate this.You constantly crave/obsess over sex with this person,it's like an extreme thirst of the mind.Song can also reflect the early stages of a relationship

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
