Mary, you are so pretty
All the boys just want to have you
Mary, it's such a pity
That you haven't got a clue
If it's what you want, you could have any of them
But you don't really care
So lift up your skirt and let down your hair
Mary, what would you give for
A face like that and a waist so slight?
Mary, we only live for
Every Friday and Saturday night
Does your mother know you borrow all of her clothes
They sure look good on you
You really have begun to fill her shoes, mary
Teachers cry and tell us we're going straight to hell
Mary, you and me
We laugh and wonder what it is they mean
We treat a broken heart, parking ticket style
Once you've got one, you can't got another for a little while
One day we're both going to see
Cheap ain't free
We stumble and wonder why things don't add up
We keep adding those numbers, oh why won't they see
We just want to be loved
We just want to be loved
We just want to be loved
Cheap ain't free
All the boys just want to have you
Mary, it's such a pity
That you haven't got a clue
If it's what you want, you could have any of them
But you don't really care
So lift up your skirt and let down your hair
Mary, what would you give for
A face like that and a waist so slight?
Mary, we only live for
Every Friday and Saturday night
Does your mother know you borrow all of her clothes
They sure look good on you
You really have begun to fill her shoes, mary
Teachers cry and tell us we're going straight to hell
Mary, you and me
We laugh and wonder what it is they mean
We treat a broken heart, parking ticket style
Once you've got one, you can't got another for a little while
One day we're both going to see
Cheap ain't free
We stumble and wonder why things don't add up
We keep adding those numbers, oh why won't they see
We just want to be loved
We just want to be loved
We just want to be loved
Cheap ain't free

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/

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.

Page

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.
