Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought I saw my face on MTV
Or a magazine that she won't read, stole
Her heart but it's not my fault, lookin' at
My picture she forgot about her boyfriend, yea
I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be, anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
Somebody tell me, when do we get paid?

Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought by now I'd be on MTV
Or a magazine like seventeen or rolling stone
And I won't be alone with your
Money in my pocket and face on your T-shirt yeah

I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be, anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
But I try and I try and I try and I try
Every day
Every day
Said I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be, anything, anything at all

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
