I was..
Not worth knowing
Visible awful but not seen
Alone always forever - beauty opposite
Transparent hear me - listen - right here

I was..
Right there kept walking awful unnoticed
Beauty opposite - alone
Island stay off
Wait.. someone

sink alone not seen
It was time - end
It was time - end

I was..
Visible awful but not seen
Alone always forever - beauty opposite
Transparent see me - right here

I was..
Right there kept walking awful unnoticed
Beauty opposite deserted - alone
Island stay off
No.. someone wait

sink alone not seen
It was time - end
It was time - end

could have stopped it

Dead.

    At first glance it may sound like it's talking about a ghost, but I think it's using a ghost as a metaphor for someone who was forgotten completely - nobody knows him and never will. He's like a ghost.

    The idea of clinical depression; so isolated and antisocial that you've become metaphorically invisible, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

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/
