Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I wanna explode
Watch me, I'm a lucky girl
See I, I like you
So won't you pay
If you wanna go down
I love to watch you, honey
You need me so let's see
What do you care, if you want to
You should pay if you wanna go
Don't walk away
Don't walk away love
Don't walk away
Don't walk away love
I wanna touch you, slowly
I'm a lonely girl
Come on you want to
So won't you pay
If you want to go
I'd love to hurt you, easy
I've got you, inside me
What do you care, if you want to
You should pay
If you wanna go
Don't walk away
Don't walk away love
Don't walk away
Just stay right here
(Why don't you pay if you wanna go)
(You got to pay if you want some more)
(Why don't you pay if you wanna go)
(You got to pay if you want some more)
Don't walk away
(Why don't you pay if you wanna go)
Don't walk away
(You got to pay if you want some more)
Don't walk away
(Why don't you pay if you wanna go)
Just stay right here
(You got to pay if you want some more)
Watch me, I'm a lucky girl
See I, I like you

You should pay if you wanna go
Don't walk away
Don't walk away love
Don't walk away
Don't walk away love

What do you care, if you want to
You should pay
If you wanna go

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

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.
I LOVE this song. After reading the lyrics, I'm not convinced it's about a prostitute, it just sounds too sensual for that. I definitely agree with others who think the "pay" part has to do with something else -- foreplay, perhaps? Emotional connection? Cuddling? Commitment? Or a combination thereof? Either way, this song is incredibly beautiful and sensual.
"paying" probably wouldn't be literal in this case. It's like she's saying, if you want to go down that road with me, you're going to have to pay the way I paid by watching/obsessing over you to no avail.
woah, i cant believe nobody commented on this song, it's their best.
I've only heard this one and Say So so far... definitely love Explode the best. It's dripping with sensuality.
i LOVE this song. indeed its wicked sensual. i actually think its about prostitution or something? or the "payment" of which they're singing could be of the emotional sort? i dont know, but leisha hailey is god.
i think its sexy and its deffenatly between 2 girls
I think by "pay" they mean: "return the favor and don't be a selfish bitch."
Hahaha!
The 1st time i heard this song i was like... ooh sexy! "I wanna touch you, slowly--I'm lonely girl--Come on You want to", I can't get these lyrics out of my head!
I believe this song is about a prostitute checking a girl out and trying to lure her into having sex! dirty i
this song is about two people ( judging by who wrote the song definetly women) having sex. AnnErocKs is right. If "I've got you inside me what do you care if you want to you should pay if you want to go down" doesn't give it away your a loser who doesn't understand music and has no life. toodles
