Is there something you've been waiting for
For a long time
A stupid game where you've been keeping
score in your mind

You write the books in your head
I'll keep the last days instead
Can you calculate an even cure
And a crime

So you come around and we all slow down
So you come around and I tried to wear you out

With my newborn history
A faithless eulogy
And if I can't keep you down
no one will

I have seen the bones beneath the stare
of your eyes
Have you traded in the yellow hair
for cheap smiles

Call you another doctor
This one seems to think you're just fine
I have tasted all your sympathy
And I don't care

So you come around and we all slow down
So you come around and I tried to wear you out

With my newborn history
A faithless eulogy
And if I can't keep you down
no one will

So you come around and we all slow down
So you come around and I tried to wear you out

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
