Oh
Yeah-ay-yeah
Mhmm

Letting you go is pretty damn difficult
Cause there was a time I would be for you
What you need for me, I would do what
Whatever to be rolling wit' u
And you know I took it as far as I can go
So I'm a go lay it out right for you
You're not good to me, I know I've been
Blind but I can open my eyes

Cause then I see just what you are
Not for me, I don't why
I wanted you I don't want you
I deny, oh

All that you did and all that you didn't
All that you said and all that you wouldn't
Deny, I deny it
Defy, everything, oh
All that we were and all that we called up
All that you were and all that you made up
Defy, I defy it
I deny everything you are

And everything we were
And everything you are
And everything we were, and I

You took your time
Well baby you should take up all of mine
So when I said you should be you don't question me
When I'm telling you, I don't want you
Hiding up my mind anymore

I don't want you, you can go
Leave my keys and close the door
I don't need somebody like you
I deny oh I deny!

All that you did and all that you didn't
All that you said and all that you wouldn't
Deny, I deny it
Defy, everything. oh you were
All that we were and all that we called up
All that you were and all that you made up
Defy, I defy it
I deny everything you are

And everything we were
And everything you are
And everything we were, and I

Don't tell me
You never thought that we would come to this
Standing here, giving up all that we have been
Whoa! and don't blame me
This is not about what I have done
I've done more, I could do, still we fought
Still you try me, but baby

I deny-I-I!
Woo

All that you did and all that you didn't
All that you said and all that wouldn't
Deny, I deny it
Defy, everything, ohh

I deny it!

All that we were and all that we called up, oh-whoa
All that you were and all that you made up
Defy, I defy it, woo
I deny everything oh

All that you did and all that you made up
All that you said and all that you wouldn't, whoa-oh-oh
Deny, I deny it woo
Defy, everything oh
All that we were and all that we called up
All that you were and all that you made up
Defy, I defy it
I deny everything you are

And everything we were
And everything you were
And everything we were, and I

Whoa-oh
I deny

    This song to me is about the breakup of a couple and the girl is finally venting all of her frustrations about the boyfriend/relationship to him. She is sick of being mis-treated and is now just denies 'Everything we were'

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
