Super fly black hair
Swinging out everywhere
I touched you and my heart stopped
Now I know I'm totally fucked

I'm gonna take you in my car
Let you give me a ride
Tell me love, quick or slow
I'll let you decide
And if you get too serious I tell you goodbye
Girl you better realize

This ain't nothing but a drive by love
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by
Drive by
A drive by lo-lo-lo-lo…
A drive by lo-lo-lo-lo-love
A drive by love

We went a little too fast
It threw me back on my ass
I can't believe I did this
Let it happen with just one kiss

So tell me what to do
If it happened to you
Would you wanna give it up or would you follow it through
And I fell in love and now I'm totally screwed
I guess I should've realized

This is more than just a drive by love
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by
Drive by
A drive by lo-lo-lo-lo…
A drive by lo-lo-lo-lo-love
A drive by love

So tell me what to do
If it happened to you
Would you wanna give it up or would you follow it through
And I fell in love and now I'm totally screwed
I guess I should've realized

It's not a drive by lo-lo-lo-lo…
A drive by lo-lo-lo-lo-love
A drive by love
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by love
(Hey hey)
Drive by
Drive by

    Sexy song. Definitely not PG, but not much of what he does/says is.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
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.
