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.
I never wanted it to be this way.
I said, I loved you each and every day.
Is this really happening,
Or is this just like a dream?
Believe me when I say that I am more than what I seem.
Did you say you loved me
When we were at that last show?
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you,
I'm dying to know.
I'm not quite sure
Why I'm here
Or why I do the things I do.
Please tell me it's not the end,
It's got to be
Me and you.
You mean the world to me.
You make me so crazy.
Would you please have my baby?
I don't look like a movie star,
I'm not DiCaprio,
But if you give me time,
I will be your Romeo.
Did you say you loved me
When we were at that last show?
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you,
I'm dying to know.
I'm not quite sure
Why I'm here
Or why I do the things I do.
Please tell me it's not the end,
It's got to be
Me and you.
If you would just give me the chance,
I promise I'll won't ever stick my hand down your pants.
The first time we kiss it will be just like a dream.
Believe me when I say I am more than what I seem.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
aw. takes me back to their Downtown Disney days. definitley one of my favorites. the song's pretty self-explainitory: a couple on the verge of breaking up and one of them hoping to stop it. oh. and does anyone know where i can download this song? or just listen to it for that matter. i miss it :(
