Baby, sweet baby, you're my drug
Come on and let me taste your stuff
Baby, sweet baby, bring me your gift
What surprise you gonna hit me with
[Chorus]
I am waiting here for more
I am waiting by your door
I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car
I am waiting at this bar
I am waiting for your essence
Baby, sweet baby, whisper my name
Shoot your love into my vein
Baby, sweet baby, kiss me hard
Make me wonder who's in charge
[Chorus]
Baby, sweet baby, I want to feel your breath
Even though you like to flirt with death
Baby, sweet baby, can't get enough
Please come find me and help me get fucked up
[Chorus]
Your essence
Your essence
Come on and let me taste your stuff
Baby, sweet baby, bring me your gift
What surprise you gonna hit me with
[Chorus]
I am waiting here for more
I am waiting by your door
I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car
I am waiting at this bar
I am waiting for your essence
Baby, sweet baby, whisper my name
Shoot your love into my vein
Baby, sweet baby, kiss me hard
Make me wonder who's in charge
[Chorus]
Baby, sweet baby, I want to feel your breath
Even though you like to flirt with death
Baby, sweet baby, can't get enough
Please come find me and help me get fucked up
[Chorus]
Your essence
Your essence

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Wow, no comments so far?! I LOVE this song - so unadulterated and emotional. The lyrics are pretty basic but the emotion in her voice (especially the way she says, "Baby, sweet baby" makes the listener feel what she feels - utter need for this other person. Love it. Everyone deserves to feel this desperate for someone, and also everyone should feel this desired by someone!
I also love this song -- the way it puts the songwriter's desire right out there, plain as day -- "the utter need" as musicISmytruelove put it. Few songwriters are as bold as Lucinda Williams and able to write a line such as "Please come find me and help me, get fucked up." I recently read somewhere that Lucinda Williams had a bad heroin addiction for several years. If so, her drug use clearly informs the lyrics, as the words she uses to describe her total dependency on who she desires seem to be a perfect description of drug use. In fact, one could almost argue that the song is about loving drugs.
Great interpretation openroad. I always thought this song was about love addiction, using drugs as a metaphore, but you're right that it could be the other way around.

Great song from a great songwriter.I do not believe that this song is about drugs,at least not the drugs that we all tend to think of first,the literal ones. This song is about the attraction one can have for another.She is comparing her longing for him to the longing that a junkie has for his heroin,or whatever drug of choice.
In just a few words Lucinda captures the feeling of fear and the thrill of being at your most vulnerable and past caring. Deliriously beautiful song.
Never let anyone get control of you this way. I actually hope it is about drugs.
