Oh, stealing moments just to be with you
Though its wrong its hard to tell the truth, oh no
She don't have to know she don't have to know

When I meet 'cha, I got my shades on to cover up my eyes
I'm hoping that nobody sees me passing by
Through my disguise I still know you recognize

But you I know you got a little secret of your own
Sneaking out with me while your mans at home
You know your wrong but its so strong still carrying on

I go to the other side of town and so I
Never risk the chance will catch her eye
Oh no, she don't have to know, she don't have to know

Oh girl, I know your doing the same thing too
But I won't tell your man the things we do
Oh no, he don't have to know, he don't have to know

Someone's watching we got to be careful next time or we're through
But damn it's so stressful doing that dirt we do
So sad but true, and I know one day I'm gonna pay

Then he ask me to sneak out of town for just a day or three
Go to D.C. and hold hands publicly all through the streets
'Cause they don't know you and they don't know me

And oh, I'll feel sorry for mistake we've made
There's no reason that we should tell her today
She don't have to know, she don't have to know

Girl oh, though you give a lot of love to me
Girl, I know I'm not the only one you see
But he don't have to know, he don't have to know

Oh, it's getting crazy and I don't want to hurt my baby
And I'll know its supposed to be the last time for you and I
But let's not end this way just wait another day

Oh, I don't want to let you go and I
So I just can't let her go
She don't have to know, yeah, yeah
Oh, I told you're doin' the same thing to her
Oh, and he told her, they don't have to know
Yeah, oh

    This song is pretty self-explanatory, to me. They are having an affair, they know it's wrong but they still continue to do so. hahaha this is my favorite song on the album right now hahaha, for the most obvious reasons. Who would have thought I would ever be a part of an affair (well, its not an affair, cuz so far its only been a one time thing but still)? I feel bad for his gf, but at the time I wasn't too worried about it. The only bad thing is: now I think I like him A LOT less. I think the fact that he cheated on his girlfriend, and he doesn't seem to care about it kind of bothers me. It's like he doesn't feel bad at all and I think that makes him an asshole. well well well. now what?

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
