"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
how can we fake this and take anymore
looking up blindly and try to ignore
its better to miss it, there's no point of view
its only a problem when it happens to you
well thanks for making this so easy
what's the point if it's so easy
why the fuck is it so easy
why's it don't you say
cause we're doing fine
and we don't need to be told
and we're doing fine
cause we won't give you control
and we don't need anything from you
and we'll be just fine
cause we won't be bought and sold
just like you
lies in the sender when nothing is true
don't be surprised when it comes back to you
are you on a mission to lose our control
or waiting for tragedy to unfold
what makes you think that it's so easy
don't believe it will be so easy
why the fuck would it be so easy
why's it don't you say
cause we're doing fine
and we don't need to be told
and we're doing fine
cause we won't give you control
and we don't need anything from you
and we'll be just fine
cause we won't be bought and sold
just like you
so how long has this gone
i don't see this ending
its too late we can't change
what has now begun
we act like it's not right
why are we pretending
we've been wrong for so long
we've known this all along
you created these problems
and you don't know what to do
you know you can solve them
but can't be bothered to

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

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.

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.
to me...its about not always giving in and becoming what your parents and everyone wants and doing living your life on your own
