Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She's all the things a girl should be
But she's not you
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's everything a man could want
But she's not you
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whispering your name
She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whispering your name
She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
She's all the things a girl should be
But she's not you
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's everything a man could want
But she's not you
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whispering your name
She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whispering your name
She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you
And it's just breaking my heart
'Cause she's not you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.
U have GOT to be kidding me! This little ditty has no comments??? OK, it's obviously about some dud that is with one female while thinking about another. Scummy lyrics, but I still love Elvis. Have NEVER understood players, although I do believe they usually end up alone. And rightfully so. Play on...
How could Elvis touch this song. It's the anthem of a real loser. Combine it with This Charming Man by the Smiths and Habit by Marine Mena and you have some dude that has to lie to get a woman...and even then he can't hold onto her. He's always left behind :D Elvis could sing and he could definitely move, but what garbage...
LOL...she's a passing ship...one of many yearly who's good for the ego and for going down on a small penis. And no, she's not the real thing. She's second prize due to cowardness. It's a GREAT song. Makes me tingle each time I hear it. Just know that when I am with someone that way, I won't be playing it!
Wow. I just read where Elvis was born in 1935. Seems hard to believe, but I suppose only because he appeared larger than life and his music (and movies) are still with us everywhere. Cool...I love trivia.
I heard this song on the radio this morning. To me the song's more about the singer being exactly where he needs to be. He just needs to admit that it's where he belongs; where's he's happiest, most comfortable; and feels he has the most opportunity to live the life he wishes to live. There's a freedom and a loss of dread that comes with acceptance of any kind.
I used to view it as a very negative song, but no longer. It's not the literal meaning that's important. Kind of have to read between the lines on this one.
Anxious to see another Elvis movie...very sappy, but cutsie and upbeat. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, and that's a good feeling regardless if the movie won't win any awards.
