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”
It's been so long
since I touched a lady
and I'm still waiting
for you to come back to me
now will you forgive me
for the wrong I've done
and let's try again
to make it last so long
chorus:
I'm still waiting
for you to come back to love
to fulfill this life
we're dreaming of
so don't wait
another day might be too long
don't rush
go slow so nothing goes wrong
listen baby
I can't wait
to feel your love again
cause you can stop this pain
that I've been feeling
so let's start all over
and put the past behind
and make a love to stand
to the test of time
I'm still waiting
for you to come back to love
to fulfill this life, yeah
we're dreaming of
and these feelings are so very strong
another day might be too long
go slow so nothing goes wrong
I just can't take it no more, baby
the feel of your warm embrace, baby
I'm still waiting on you
I'm still waiting
for you to come back to love (ohhh, yes I am)
to fulfill this life (that we're dreaming of)
we're dreaming of
so baby, please don't wait, baby baby
another day might be too long (my arms are open wide)
go slow so nothing goes wrong
sometimes I get so lonely want to call you, baby
just a little love is all I need
yeahhhhh
another day might be too long
go slow so nothing goes wrong
just a little love is all I need (my arms are open wide)
just a little love is all I need
yeah
woh ohhhhh
the feel of your warm embrace
I'm still waiting
for you to come back to love
to fulfill this life
we're dreaming of
(repeat chorus until fade)

@[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
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
