The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Listen to me beauty queen
I've been dancing darling please
Hold on loosely
Use me tease
Hold on loosely
Don't lose me please
you smoke another cigarette
Hoping you'll be better for it
You meant it for the first time
Just like you said it
The last time
I am dying darling please please
Lets go someplace we don't know
Catch our problems
Let them go
Take me gorgeous
Rape me slow
Set me straight and
Leave alone
Tonight
you smoke another cigarette
Hoping you'll be better for it
You meant it for the first time
Just like you said it
The last time
Just like you said
Just like you said
Just like you said
Just like you said
listen to me beauty queen
I've been dancing darling please please
I've been dancing darling please
Hold on loosely
Use me tease
Hold on loosely
Don't lose me please
you smoke another cigarette
Hoping you'll be better for it
You meant it for the first time
Just like you said it
The last time
I am dying darling please please
Lets go someplace we don't know
Catch our problems
Let them go
Take me gorgeous
Rape me slow
Set me straight and
Leave alone
Tonight
you smoke another cigarette
Hoping you'll be better for it
You meant it for the first time
Just like you said it
The last time
Just like you said
Just like you said
Just like you said
Just like you said
listen to me beauty queen
I've been dancing darling please please

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
This song is kick ass. I definetly picking up this album even though I already have downloaded 4 songs (Suppot Them!) Spitalfield to me has always had amazin music, and the lyrics in this and Restraining Order Blues are straight up kick ass..
"i am dieing darling please please / lets go someplace we dont know / catch our problems / let them go / take me gorgeous / rape me slow / set me straight and / leave alone / tonight"
Favorite Part.

maybe this is about him wanting attention.. any type of attention for his "darling" and maybe she dosnt care as much.. or maybe she dosnt care much about anything hence the last cigarette line.. shrugs
