Every man I fall for
drinks his coffee black
Love + hate are tattoed on his nuckles and
my name is on his back

Every man I fall for
works they graveyard shift
He kisses me softly to wake me up
then takes my place in bed

And I fall
I leave with one concern
It's the law of diminishing returns
It's the law of diminishing returns

Every man I fall for
Keeps his anger on
a string and holds it tight
When other man walk by blinking their eyes at me
he always pick a fight

I go walk alone down ocean blvd
Peaking your windows
Tired housewives nagging at their husbands but
Is this the life you chose?

And I fall
I leave with one concern
It's the law of diminishing returns
And I fall
I leave with one concern
It's the law of diminishing returns

Every man I fall for
Nearly every man
Every man I fall for
Nearly every man

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
