I never seen you looking so bad my funky one
You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone

[Chorus]
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you

Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well, look at mine
The people on the street have all seen better times

[Chorus]

I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do
You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you

[Chorus]

    What are SQUONK'S TEARS???

    Legendary in Pennsylvania, the Squonk is small, shy beast, with loose skin that has many warts and moles on it. Squonks are very unhappy and cry all the time.

    Hunters can follow the trail of tears, and find the Squonk under hemlock trees. If cornered, the Squonk's tears might dissolve it (hence the pseudo-Latin name Lachrimacorpus dissolvens.) Supposedly, one person caught a Squonk in a sack one time, but when the sack was opened later, there were only tears and bubbles in it.

    Described by William T. Cox, in his book "Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods, with a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts. "

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/

Amazing
