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 don't know why I like it
I just do
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head
I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own, baby
I shouldn't get so hung up on you
I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
Oh, I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk
I just watch your mouth
Oh, I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
Oh, I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
See I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
No no no, I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional
I get so emotional, baby
Shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
I just do
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head
I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own, baby
I shouldn't get so hung up on you
I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
Oh, I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk
I just watch your mouth
Oh, I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
Oh, I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
See I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much
No no no, I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional
I get so emotional, baby
Shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby

@[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.

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.
Basically, it's about fantasizing about someone who is not your partner.
like the music and voice amazing..
This and How Will I Know are my favorite Whitney songs. She sang with such a digital clarity it was as if the radio suddenly got upgraded when one of her songs came on. She was collectively invented to be a pop princess but, she felt more in touch with her Newark tough girl roots. Thing is, the sweet lilt she would get in her voice showed her goodness and nobility despite some of her life circumstances. The drugs were like a spell easing her from a beauty a little too hard to face sometimes. My heart goes out to Dione Warwick and Aretha Franklin-every one who loved her. Rest well dear princess.
Nicely said.
Thanks. Know you must be sad too.
Every time I hear this song I do. She's in love and when she thinks of him her heart explodes. She loves everything about him so much so it's hard to maintain. She's beside herself and it feels good. It feels sooo good to feel good and that's emotion man..
