Recently I've been,
Hopelessly reaching
Out for this girl,
She's out of this world.
Believe me.

She's got a boyfriend
He drives me round the bend
He's in the marines,
He'd kill me.

It's been so many nights now
I find myself thinking about her now.

'Cause obviously,
She's out of my league
I'm hopin' and wishin'
She's draggin' me in and now
I know I never will be good enough for her.

No, no
Never will be good enough for her.

Gotta escape now
Get on a plane now. yeah
Afterwards lady, that's where I'll stay (yeah)
For cheating

I'll put it behind me(I'll put it behind me)
Go to a place where she can't find me. yeah.

'Cause obviously,
She's out of my league,
I'm wastin' my time
'Cause she'll never be mine
I know I never will be good enough for her.
No, no
Never will be good enough for her

She's outta my head
I never will know her again
I know I'm not good enough for her
He's good enough for her (for her, for her)

    The name proves nothing, because it means nothing.

    The fact that you cannot type in proper sentences however, leads me to belive that you have either never seen the inside of a class room (apart from on TV) or you spent the early years of your life, licking the lead paint off your radiators, which caused you to stop maturing beyond eight years old.

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/
