You know I love it when you're down on your knees
And I'm a junkie for the way that you please
You shut me up when you swallow me down
My back to the wall you're going to town

[Chorus]
I almost told you that I loved you
Thank God I didn't 'cause it would have been a lie
I say the damnedest things when you're on top of me
I almost told you that I loved you

I hate to say it but it has to be said
You look so fragile as I fuck with your head
I know it shouldn't but it's getting me on
If sex is the drug then what is the cost?

[Chorus]

I'm not the one that you want
Not the one that you need
My love is like a fucking disease

You can give me your hand
You can make your demands
I'm the hardest mother fucker to please

[Chorus]

(I'm not the one that you want)
I almost told you that I loved you
(I'm not the one that you need)
Thank God I didn't 'cause it would have been a lie
(I'm not the one that you want)
I say the damnedest things when you're on top of me
(The one that you need)
I almost told you that I loved you

    i'm pretty sure "If sex is the drug, than what is the cost" but, who knows i have bad ears It's incredibly catchy and my favorite on Metampohasis so far, next to Change or Die of course.

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
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.
