Don't Shoot the Messenger (Not My Idea)

Action Action

Well, you look so true in undressed eyes
Is your coma real? Did you change your mind?
I see so clearly in these bargain eyes
Words coffee drip out my head

T-t-time will set us free as we both roll back our eyes
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea
Relationships deplete as the tears run down your eyes
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea

I might be blessed with amnesia instead
Ghost written parade, all the nonsense said, oh yeah
The worlds keep on sinning inside my head
Your words are an army between wars

Time will set us free as we both roll back our eyes
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea
Relationships deplete as the tears run down your eyes
I'm sorry now to say to you that everybody makes mistakes
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea, oh no

Yeah, I see so clearly inside my head
Your words are an army between wars

T-t-time will set us free as we both roll back our eyes
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea
Relationships deplete as the tears run down your eyes
I'm sad to say it wasn't my idea

My idea, oh no, my, my
My idea, oh
My my, my idea
Oh, no, my idea

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/
