Spend your lazy, endless crazy
Days inside my head.
You're so selfish, you're not the only
One who thinks he's dead.
I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial
For what you think I said.
'Cause I never said that everything would be okay,
And I never said that we would live to see another day.

Motivate me
I want to get myself outta this bed.
Captivate me
I want good thoughts inside of my head.
When I fall down would you come around
Pick me right up off the ground?

I'm realistic, and narsosistic
You say I'm selfish and absurd.
You try to change me,
You try to save me,
You say I'm gonna learn.
I'm so blind, I'm out of time,
You're so unkind sometimes.
I never lied, I never lied, I never lied....
'Cause I never said that everything would be OK,
I never said that we would live to see another day...

Motivate me
I want to get myself outta this bed.
Captivate me
I want good thoughts inside of my head.
When I fall down would you come around
Pick me right up off the ground?

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/
