This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back the night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memory evergreen!
I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'
Even the palms seems to be swayin'
When they begin the beguine!
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are swearin' to love forever
And promising never, never to part!
What moments divine, what raptures serene
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted...
Now, when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean!
So, don't let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember...
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine!
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play!
'Till the stars that were there before return above you
'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine!
When they begin, the beguine!
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back the night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memory evergreen!
I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'
Even the palms seems to be swayin'
When they begin the beguine!
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are swearin' to love forever
And promising never, never to part!
What moments divine, what raptures serene
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted...
Now, when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean!
So, don't let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember...
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine!
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play!
'Till the stars that were there before return above you
'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine!
When they begin, the beguine!

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
