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.
I'd seen you jackin' JC cause they got him most hazed
If you know about the ladies and all his babys
You diss on his rhymes a million times
And run around town like Bonny&Clide
You see the move you're makin' the rhymes you're takin'
Will lead the heart breaking and I'm not mistaking
You like his money to be his honey
If it's truth you choose you break big dummy
Dumb girl
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
I wish I knew why a girl like you
was to do all the things that you do
I know you want a man but you should understand
JC ain't D just be his fan
You're not this fine you're out of your mind
And I wrote this rhyme just for your kind
Don't be misled remember what I said
The rhymes of Rappers surely not to take in your head
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
(Now) you are the finest girl in the whole school
but they don't call you fly because you're a fool
because you don't go to class you will not pass
you'd like to go but you're too slow because you're going to fast
And I can tell you are dump when you walk in the place
Walk around with your dump cold suckin' your face
Always sinning never winning cause you've lost your race
You get high into the line think that measures the ace
Dumb girl
Use me the girl is
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
Now you're a typical sexteen with no real power
Ha! You funk like this a battle with ya last medium shower
Always guys call you fast but I gonna slow
Always slipping or giving somebody a blow
Giving every guy a try a way good to act
But there's a thing that you're missing
That you can't even buy
When it comes to love you even hit it by keep it
Just silly did it dump did it just played stupid
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
(use me, stupid as ..)
I want you to listen to the words that I speak
About playing when I'm saying to never be weak
You should use you brain but you don't have one
And when it comes to ??sings?? you don't have none
YO YO you should know when I come with Run
We tell this dumb di di dumb di di di di dumb dumb
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
Dump with the cap of a bee
Stupid as can be
Right down
Dump
The girl is
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
The girl is dumb
If you know about the ladies and all his babys
You diss on his rhymes a million times
And run around town like Bonny&Clide
You see the move you're makin' the rhymes you're takin'
Will lead the heart breaking and I'm not mistaking
You like his money to be his honey
If it's truth you choose you break big dummy
Dumb girl
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
I wish I knew why a girl like you
was to do all the things that you do
I know you want a man but you should understand
JC ain't D just be his fan
You're not this fine you're out of your mind
And I wrote this rhyme just for your kind
Don't be misled remember what I said
The rhymes of Rappers surely not to take in your head
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
(Now) you are the finest girl in the whole school
but they don't call you fly because you're a fool
because you don't go to class you will not pass
you'd like to go but you're too slow because you're going to fast
And I can tell you are dump when you walk in the place
Walk around with your dump cold suckin' your face
Always sinning never winning cause you've lost your race
You get high into the line think that measures the ace
Dumb girl

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
The girl is dumb

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
