I would like to get to know if I could be
The kind of girl that you could be down for
'Cause when I look at you I feel something tell me
That you're the kind of guy that I should make a move on

And if I don't let you know
Then I won't be for real
I could be wrong but I feel
Like something could be going on
The more I see you
The more that it becomes so true
There ain't no other for me, it's only you

I wanna be down
With what you're going through
I wanna be down (down)
I wanna be down with you (down with you)
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I wanna be down

I know anybody's gonna be lonely
Without the reason they got someone to care for
Maybe all you need's a shoulder to cry on
If that's a fact then I'll be more
Than you ever could dream of

If all you need is my time
That I got plenty of
I'll dedicate all my love onto you only, baby
I want to stay by your side
Be there to cool you out
And let you know everything will be alright

I wanna be down (down, oh yeah)
With what you're going through
I wanna be down (wanna be down)
I wanna be down with you (with you)
No matter the time of day or night (no matter the time, baby)
It's true, I wanna be down (wanna be, got to be down)

I wanna be down
With what you're going through
I wanna be down (I wanna be)
I wanna be down with you (ayy, I wanna be)
No matter the time of day or night (no matter the time of day or night, it's true)
It's true, I wanna be down (I wanna be down)

Down, down, down
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Down (down), down (down), down

I wanna be down (I wanna be down)
With what you're going through (with only you, my baby)
I wanna be down (I wanna be down)
I wanna be down with you (with only you)
No matter the time of day or night (oh yeah)
It's true, I wanna be down (wanna be, got to be down)

I wanna be down (I wanna be)
With what you're going through (I got to be)
I wanna be down (I wanna be yeah)
I wanna be down with you (down with you, yeah)
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I wanna be down (I wanna be, yeah, down, oh yeah)

I wanna be down (I wanna be)
With what you're going through (oh, yeah, I wanna be)
I wanna be down (yeah)
I wanna be down with you (down with you)
No matter the time of day or night (when I'm with you)
It's true, I wanna be down (yeah, I wanna be down, yeah, yeah)

I wanna be down (hey, yeah, I wanna be down)
With what you're going through (down, down, down, I gotta to be there)
I wanna be down (down, down, down, yeah)
I wanna be down with you (oh, oh yeah)
No matter the time of day or night (no matter the time)
It's true, I wanna be down (down, down, down, oh)

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/
