I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person
Cause I've made up my mind
I'm a terrible person
Cause I've let her on
And I'm the only one who knows what I've done to her
Oh yeah I'm much smarter now,
I won't tell her friends before her
Oh I'm afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
But I'm a horrible person, I read her diary
I'm not to be trusted
I told all of her secrets
To all the guys in town
They all laugh, and slap me five
Oh yeah
Luckily she doesn't have dirt on me 'cause I'm the cleanest guy
Oh I'm so afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
Well I don't think I'll ever be sorry
No I'm not sorry for a thing I've done
And I don't think I'll ever wake up lonely
Cause having her around wasn't all that special
Well I don't think I'll ever be sorry
No I'm not sorry for a thing I've done
And I don't think I'll ever wake up lonely
Cause having her around wasn't all that special
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday

    I'm not that big of a Rooney fan, but recently I've been listening to their stuff more and more. I was on their official side, randomly browsing their lyrics, when I saw the lyrics to this song. Before hearing the thing, it made me teary-eyed. As much as this song may sound up-beat, it has the total opposite effect on me.

    I think the lines that got to me are:

    "I'm a terrible person Cause I've made up my mind I'm a terrible person Cause I've led her on And I'm the only one who knows what I've done to her I'm much smarter now I won't tell her friends before her It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday"

    The reason why it's so impacting is kind of person, but let's just say there is such a coincedential and ironic meaning behind it all. =\

    But yeah, I think you all have it right as far as what the meaning to this song can be.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
