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.
Verse 1
Girl I can't even lie when I look into your eyes I get this weird feeling inside It's kinda crazy cause I ain't never had this kind of feeling in my life And I can't even sleep sometimes Wake up late at night with you be on my mind I can't get you out no matter how I try Cause baby you're so fly
Chorus
Maybe this is love I feel it in your touch I just can't get enough of you baby Wait a minute I'm saying Maybe this is love There's something between us I just can't get enough of you baby Wait a minute I'm saying Maybe this is love
Verse 2
Something about your eyes, your hair, your smile, you drive me wild Girl, so beautiful and you're all mine I'm the luckiest man in the world And you're so picture perfect Stole my heart girl but you're so worth it I can't get you out my mind No matter how hard I try This is love
Chorus
Maybe this is love I feel it in your touch I just can't get enough of you baby Wait a minute I'm saying Maybe this is love There's something between us I just can't get enough of you baby Wait a minute I'm saying Maybe this is love
Bridge
Maybe this could be This could be yeah Maybe this could be This could be Let me tell you girl Maybe this could be This could be yeah

Chorus
Maybe this is love I feel it in your touch I just can't get enough of you baby Wait a minute I'm saying Maybe this is love There's something between us I just can't get enough of you baby Wait a minute I'm saying Maybe this is love

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
