The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
don't you see the twinkle in my eye?
i'm going to a place you'll never see
god's got this plan for me so now i gotta go
there's no other place i'd rather be than right here
in this new life that's been given just to me
no more waiting and wanting for something that'll never see
chorus;
and i'm done with this, minor love procedure
i'm done with this doctor love boy prodecure
i'm done with this, i'll love you now not later
i'm done with this, crazy lady fever, oh
telling you so i'm here on my knees
so ready to beg for a new disease
i've got a choice to make and i choose the money
there's no other place i'd rather be than right here
in this new life that's been given just to me
and now it's what i am and what i've been
and what i'm supposed to be
chorus
you say you know my name
but i hide my fame behind a mask of mine now sweetie
and if you're sad i came then don't invite me in
because i'm through and tired of this
chorus repeat..
you make me crazy
cos you just amaze me
i'm going to a place you'll never see
god's got this plan for me so now i gotta go
there's no other place i'd rather be than right here
in this new life that's been given just to me
no more waiting and wanting for something that'll never see
chorus;
and i'm done with this, minor love procedure
i'm done with this doctor love boy prodecure
i'm done with this, i'll love you now not later
i'm done with this, crazy lady fever, oh
telling you so i'm here on my knees
so ready to beg for a new disease
i've got a choice to make and i choose the money
there's no other place i'd rather be than right here
in this new life that's been given just to me
and now it's what i am and what i've been
and what i'm supposed to be
chorus
you say you know my name
but i hide my fame behind a mask of mine now sweetie
and if you're sad i came then don't invite me in
because i'm through and tired of this
chorus repeat..
you make me crazy
cos you just amaze me

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i think i got the lyrics right?
anyways. it seems like she's going crazy from loving a guy who's playing games/reluctant to accept her love (and she doesn't really want to love him anyways) and maybe he's unsure..not ready..etc
anyways so she's basically turning into a crazy lady from all this.
i dunno, that's how i applied it to my situations haha
