Corrupt the figured equation so it dosn't fit
Forget mattered opinion, they won't rectify it
Just try and plead your case, although you'll waste your time
Paranoid about the inevitedable truth, forget an open mind

Tell them everything that you want and need
You have a right to be what you want to be
I admire your dream
Don't feel at all ashamed to cry
Broken dreams are left high in the sky
Please don't lie

Speechless as we are but neither dumb nor blind
Communication has failed for the second time
Thoughts run through our heads as we sit and stare
I know what I want but I just can't get there

Tell them everything and don't lie
Everything you want and don't compromise
Tell them everything and don't lie
Everything you want and don't compromise

Tell them everything that you want and need
You have a right to be what you want to be
I admire your dream
Don't feel at all ashamed to cry
Broken dreams are left high in the sky
So don't deny
Please don't lie
No, don't deny
Do you need more time?

Corrupt the figured equation so it dosn't fit
Forget mattered opion, they won't rectify it
Just try and plead your case, although you'll waste your time
Paranoid about the inevitable truth, forget an open-mind

Tell them everything that you want and need
You have a right to be what you want to be
I admire your dream
Don't feel at all ashamed to cry
Broken dreams are left high in the sky
So don't deny
Please don't lie
No, don't deny
Do you need more time?

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
