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.
Nunca necesitaste a nadie para vivir
Ni siquiera te fijaste que había a tu alrededor
Desesperado mirabas las paredes de tu habitación
Y gritaste fuerte pero nadie te conoció
Y ahora tendrás que seguir
Cargando tu cruz
Por el resto de tus días, por el resto de tus días
Creías que la balanza siempre estaba a tu favor
Y lo mejor de todo es que solo lo creías vos
Solo si diste algo, algo podrás recibir
Y el amor que esperas solo, solo depende de ti
Y ahora tendrás que seguir
Cargando tu cruz
Por el resto de tus días, por el resto de tus días
Y ahora tendrás que seguir
Cargando tu cruz
Por el resto de tus días, por el resto de tus días
Ni siquiera te fijaste que había a tu alrededor
Desesperado mirabas las paredes de tu habitación
Y gritaste fuerte pero nadie te conoció
Y ahora tendrás que seguir
Cargando tu cruz
Por el resto de tus días, por el resto de tus días
Creías que la balanza siempre estaba a tu favor
Y lo mejor de todo es que solo lo creías vos
Solo si diste algo, algo podrás recibir
Y el amor que esperas solo, solo depende de ti
Y ahora tendrás que seguir
Cargando tu cruz
Por el resto de tus días, por el resto de tus días
Y ahora tendrás que seguir
Cargando tu cruz
Por el resto de tus días, por el resto de tus días

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.
