(I'm still waiting;
I'm still waiting;
I'm still waiting;
I'm still waiting for you,
Why, oh why? Why, oh why?)

I said-a my feet won't keep me up anymore.
Well, every little beat my heart beats, girl,
It's at-a your door.
I just want to love you
And I'm never gonna hurt you, girl.
So why won't you come out to me now, girl?
Oh, can't you see I'm under your spell?
But I got to - got to go.
Why, girl? Oh why, girl? Oh!

Woah, my gosh, the rain is fallin',
And I just can't stop callin'.
And I just can't tell the raindrops
From my teardrops
Falling down my face.
Mm, look at it, yeah!
It isn't really raindrops.

(I'm still waiting) Teardrops falling down my face.
(I'm still waiting)
(I'm still waiting) I'm still waitin'.
(I'm still waiting) Yes, I will.

I wait in the rain, I wait in the sun.
Please, relieve me from these pains,
Oh pains, just pains.
I love you, yes I do.
But tell me, do you really love me, too?
Mm-mm. Mm.

    This is the most raw song I've ever heard so far. He sings it with such deep emotion you can feel it. Desperation.....longing.....needing....pain. I wish I could've seen him sing it.

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
