This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The time has come to part, my love
I must go away
I leave you now, my darling girl
No longer can I stay
My heart like yours is breaking
Together we'll prove strong
The road I take will show the world
The suffering that goes on
The gentle clasp that holds my hand
Must loosen and let go
Please help me through the door
Though instinct tells you no
Our vow it is eternal
And will bring you dreadful pain
But if our demands aren't recognized
Don't call me back again
How their sorrow touched us all
In those final days
When it was the time she held the door
And touched his sallow face
The flame he lit by leaving
Is still burning strong
By the lights it's plain to see
The suffering still goes on
The time has come to part, my love
I must go away
I leave you now, my darling girl
No longer can I stay
I must go away
I leave you now, my darling girl
No longer can I stay
My heart like yours is breaking
Together we'll prove strong
The road I take will show the world
The suffering that goes on
The gentle clasp that holds my hand
Must loosen and let go
Please help me through the door
Though instinct tells you no
Our vow it is eternal
And will bring you dreadful pain
But if our demands aren't recognized
Don't call me back again
How their sorrow touched us all
In those final days
When it was the time she held the door
And touched his sallow face
The flame he lit by leaving
Is still burning strong
By the lights it's plain to see
The suffering still goes on
The time has come to part, my love
I must go away
I leave you now, my darling girl
No longer can I stay

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

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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
