I'm just sittin' here playin' the guitar

City High-i-i
Claudette and 'Clef

Excuse me if you see me screamin'
But deep in my mind
I'm only dreamin'
'Cuz if I wake girl and you're
Not by my side
I feel like half of me
Is no longer alive
So please, shorty
Before you walk out that door, boopy
Would you listen to my song

If only, I'd give you one last chance (One last chance)
With the devil you can no longer dance
You've got to be faithful
So we can be fruitful
Build a family and follow God's destiny
So just before I run to the block, Papi
I might listen to your song

Ooh, before you walk out that door
Listen

They say two wrongs don't make it right
(Don't make it right)
So if I'm wrong I ain't tryin' to fight
I'm tryin' to have some dinner with some candlelight
Lay up in the bed and make love all night
(So papi I won't leave baby I'll just stay)
(But promise me that you'll do the same)
Girl I'ma love you like I never loved you
(Touch me like you never touched me)
Girl if you give me the chance
Girl I'm gonna show you

Now baby, understand
That I forgive you
But I ain't gonna forget
That you brought me regret

Baby, baby, baby, baby
But I have grown
From a thug to a man
Built my castle with bricks
And no longer with sand

And just, before I run to the block, baby
I might listen to your song

Ooh, before you walk out that door
Listen

They say two wrongs don't make it right
(Don't make it right)
So if I'm wrong I ain't tryin' to fight
I'm tryin' to have some dinner with some candlelight
Lay up in the bed and make love all night
(So papi I won't leave baby I'll just stay)
(But promise me that you'll do the same)
Girl I'ma love you like I never loved you
(Touch me like you never touched me)
Girl if you give me the chance
Girl I'm gonna show you

I'm so used to the pain that I
Can't see the sunshine no more
I'm so used to the pain that the
Love sickness feels like the cure

But if only you gave me
The keys to your soul and let me in
I'm gonna love you over
(Over)
And over (over) again
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

They say two wrongs don't make it right
(Don't make it right)
So if I'm wrong I ain't tryin' to fight
I'm tryin' to have some dinner with some candlelight
Lay up in the bed and make love all night
(So papi I won't leave baby I'll just stay)
(But promise me that you'll do the same)
Girl I'ma love you like I never loved you
(Touch me like you never touched me)
Girl if you give me the chance
Girl I'm gonna show you

I ain't gonna stand on the block no more
I'm gonna come home early girl, I promise

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

Punchline
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
