Gunnlöð
In Norse mythology, Gunnlöð (Old Norse "battle-invitation") is a jötunn.
Mythology
Gunnlöð is daughter of the giant Suttungr, who was set guard by him in the mountain Hnitbjorg where he housed the mead of poetry. Her grandfather was Gilling.
Gunnlöð was seduced by Odin, who according to the Prose Edda bargained three nights of sex for three sips of the mead and then tricked her, stealing all of it. However, the poem Hávamál of the Poetic Edda tells the story a bit differently:
It would seem, from this version of the tale, that Gunnlöð helped Odin willingly, and that he thought well of her in return.

Anybody's Baby
by: Kenny & LotteI gotta know if you been foolin' 'round
What makes you think I'm gonna talk about it?
Maybe you'll tell me if you're safe and sound
Just take a look, girl, and don't you doubt it
You had me worried, I walked the floors overnight and
cried for you
So wipe your eyes, you know I'm yours, and all I
promised you was true, girl
I'll never let you be anybody's baby
Can't you see I love you?
Now and eternally, you're meant to be the only for me
I ask you, how could I let you be anybody's baby
'Cause mentally, to see you
Runnin' away to be anybody's baby is killing me
D'you really think you'd get away with that?
Now take it easy, there's nothin' to it
My girlfriend said she saw you where it's at
Why don't we sit down, talk it through it?
I'm tired of waitin' for your safe return, when I don't
know where you've been
I know I've hurt you, let's make a turn, and I'll be
happy to begin, girl
I'll never let you be anybody's baby
Can't you see I love you?
Then don't ever let me see you with anybody else but me
(anybody)
'Cause people talk and gossip's growin'
You've been cheatin' - You're mistreatin'
What we have got, and I'll be goin' in a frenzy, if you
can't see
You'd better start to trust in me more than in
everything you hear
You oughta know what's drivin' me - the love I feel
when you are near, so
I'll never let you be anybody's baby
It's you for me forever
Don't ever let me see you with anybody else but me
I wonder, how could I let you be anybody's baby
Can't you see I want you?
