I was born by the river
So I know where the river runs dry
I couldn't last forever

Accused just for living
But I know that the living was right
I couldn't last forever
Look at me making movies
Making living like I've never lived before

And the people wanting out of the river
Like a poor boy really should

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you, Yeah

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you

There's a man who I know
You know he's got a fist full of dirty dollars
And I know they won't last forever
Does he really know what people are saying
Always feeling sure what he is there saying
But the other's disappear he was alone

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you

I go back to the river
Cause I know where the river runs dry
I couldn't last forever
Take the night making movies
Like a villain never ever seen the night of day
Don't you know that I can't last forever

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is kind of blue for you, Yeah

Hello I'm going down
You know I don't want to wear no pretty crown
Help people I'm going down

    the best WWW ever written, but maybe the least clear of all. is seems to be about the rich and the poor, the style of life and the thinking that, somehow, life (and money) can't last forever, it sounds like a warning.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/
