Stretch your legs out, baby doll
We're gonna dance all night
They're only playing songs you know
And in the backroom where the music fades
To a whisper, I promise I
I'll only sing a song you know

So put some Format on the stereo
Until we can figure out where we're going
Baby, we're bad about making plans, I know
But you can see the better part of me
And we can abide the things we believe
And you can decide to still be here
Riding next to me

You're a strange one, with a heart of stone
You keep locked up inside
And only let it out to feed
And in a dark room on the edge of town
Where we navigate by sound
It's always calling out me

So put some Format on the stereo
Until we can figure out where we're going
Baby, we're bad about making plans, I know
But you can see the better part of me
And we can abide the things we believe
And you can decide to still be here
Riding next to me

And even though the morning's coming fast
We still both cling to the past
Because the future freaks us out far too much to think
But baby, we belong inside this place
A love too valuable to waste
And we need much more sleep just to keep up this killing pace
This killing pace

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Amazing
