What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame

What I've got's full stock of thoughts
And dreams that scatter
And you pull them all together
And how, I can't explain

But you, you make my dreams come true
Oh you, you make my dreams come true

On a night when bad
Dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face

Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same

But you, you make my dreams come true
Oh you, you make my dreams come true

I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that you
You make my dreams come true

Oh you, you make my dreams come true
But you, you make my dreams come true
Oh you, you make my dreams come true
But you, you make my dreams come true

    I hadn't realized this was a cover until I saw "The Wedding Singer," and I'd have to say Mêlée did a fantastic job.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
