The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Jasmin I cherish you every night in my dreams
Love Leo
[Chorus]
Jasmin my favorite girl my favorite girl in the whole wide world
won't ever forget the day that
She stole my heart away now
Jasmin my favorite girl my favorite girl in the whole wide world
Want everybody to know that
She's my favorite girl
Started out on a friday afternoon
Came to see a show after school
And as I rocked the crowd
Something made me look at you
And ever since that day
Since you stole my heart away
I completely changed I rearranged
My life is not the same
I don't know if I will ever see your face again Jasmin
[Chorus]
It's been 27 days
Since you stole my heart away
And I don't know if we will ever meet once again
I tried to look you up through friends
All I got to was dead ends
I wonder where you live, where you hang out , and where you go
I don't know if I will ever be the same again Jasmin
[Chorus]
Fair skin, smooth skin she lives as a legend
I love the way she licks her lips
And moves her hips
Baby got flashed when you do back flips
When I'm down she listens and pays attention,
Fills my heart with warmth and affection
Her smile changes my whole world
Yo Jasmin don't you know you're my favorite girl
People tell me I've lost my mind
So crazy, crazy 'bout you
God i know I'm a fool for you
I just can't help myself(x2)
[Chorus]
J to the A to the S to the M to the I to the N uh (shes my favorite girl)
J to the A to the S to the M to the I to the N uh (she my favorite girl)
Love Leo
[Chorus]
Jasmin my favorite girl my favorite girl in the whole wide world
won't ever forget the day that
She stole my heart away now
Jasmin my favorite girl my favorite girl in the whole wide world
Want everybody to know that
She's my favorite girl
Started out on a friday afternoon
Came to see a show after school
And as I rocked the crowd
Something made me look at you
And ever since that day
Since you stole my heart away
I completely changed I rearranged
My life is not the same
I don't know if I will ever see your face again Jasmin
[Chorus]
It's been 27 days
Since you stole my heart away
And I don't know if we will ever meet once again
I tried to look you up through friends
All I got to was dead ends
I wonder where you live, where you hang out , and where you go
I don't know if I will ever be the same again Jasmin
[Chorus]
Fair skin, smooth skin she lives as a legend
I love the way she licks her lips
And moves her hips
Baby got flashed when you do back flips
When I'm down she listens and pays attention,
Fills my heart with warmth and affection
Her smile changes my whole world
Yo Jasmin don't you know you're my favorite girl
People tell me I've lost my mind
So crazy, crazy 'bout you
God i know I'm a fool for you
I just can't help myself(x2)
[Chorus]
J to the A to the S to the M to the I to the N uh (shes my favorite girl)
J to the A to the S to the M to the I to the N uh (she my favorite girl)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
