The World

Punchline

By your look should I have something to say?
Well the question wasn't that in a day and
I took some time to mess up my life and
Its almost perfect let me get this right
We were different added together and

Congratulations I guess you're always right
Well I'm sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than
Thisâ?¦.

Memories destroyed by disease
And they're buried under letters full of words
You never meant to say
The reaction was greater than the screen
We were the difference added together and

Congratulations I guess you're always right
Well I'm sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than this

I didn't feel like this the whole time
But it didn't help when you made your predictions, yeah
We crossed this bridge, crossed it sometime ago
But I didn't know, I didn't know you would move on

Congratulations I guess you're always right
Well I'm sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than this
So much better than

Congratulations I guess you're always right (you're always right)
Well I'm sorry that I ever tried
What happened to the world we knew?
We were so much better than this
So much better than this (this)
So much better than this

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/

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.
