Maybe it's something you misplaced
Maybe I'll see it in your face
Could you have left it in your coat?
Could you have left it in your coat?

Maybe it's somewhere in a drawer
Sometimes those things can get ignored
I hadn't thought about it much
I hadn't thought about it much

But if your love returns to me
If what's not, turns out to be
Oh, you don't know
No, you don't know

I guess it started to make sense
We were just sitting on the fence
There wasn't writing on the wall
There wasn't anything at all

But if your love returns to me
If what's not, turns out to be
Oh, you don't know
No, you don't know

But if your love returns to me
If what's not turns out to be
Oh, you don't know
No, you don't know

No, you don't know
Oh, you don't know
No, you don't know
Oh, you don't know

    the official meaning from the HGB website, written by forrest:

    "sort of another topic that gets touched on alot in this record is doubt. you never really know where a relationship is headed, you never really know what someone else is thinking. also, i am insaaanely forgetful. i lose everything all the time. i don't leave the house with out looking for my wallet, phone and keys... each individually... for like 10 minutes each. on the new found glory tour last fall i set my computer bag down so i could chuck my suitcase into the trailer and then i happily got in the van and we drove away while my laptop, wallet, ipod, ext. hard drive etc etc sat on the sidewalk in super skecthy richmond, VA or somewhere (can't even remember what city it was). in our relationship, there was a moment or two (maybe just for 30 minutes before leaving the house on a few occasions) when it sorta seemed like our love fell out of a hole in our pockets and we were scrambling around looking for it. maybe a hobo found it and was using it to buy beer... maybe it ended up under a pile of adult diapers and hot dogs in some hoarders house and we'll see it uncovered on a&e... turns out my backpack was actually on my back the whole time and thats why i couldn't find it! isn't that always how it is?"

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”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
