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”
(Oh, yeah this
All original boy-)
Lick a shot
(Oh)
Comin' at ya
(Fiya!)
Zippedy-doo-da, zippedy-ayy
Cried oh my, wanna get that punk with my AK
Then get on the way
On a mission, puffin' on a fat ass jay
Prude, you can't hang
Flash back on the skills when I used to bang
On the corner
I'll warn ya
Gonna roll on ya
Fool
Hit ya with the golden rule
Don't turn your back on the street
When I hit that corner, feel the concrete
If ya push that button like nothin'
Watch me turn to a psycho all of a sudden
Blastin' at these fools with a passion
Look at the Glock when it's time for some action
Let the gat hum
Lick a shot!
So I let the gat hum
Let the gat hum
Lick a shot!
So I let the gat hum
Sunday mornin'
Wake up it's stormin'
Raindrops fallin' on my head, it's pourin'
Cats an' dogs
Pigs in a wagon
Lookin' for the Afro one that's saggin'
Scooby-Doo
And fuck you too
Try me
Won't let your punk ass try me
Gonna take more than you
Better call your backup team
And wait for the crew
I'm the one flippin'
Keepin' the clip on my hip and
Just watch your back if you're slippin'
Ooh, where did that .22 come from
When the bullet past through my lung?
I've lost my breath, I'm winded
I've been hit by a slug that wasn't intended
I hear thunder, I wonder
If a nigga like me's goin' under
Take a number
Let the gat hum
Lick a shot!
So I let the gat hum
Let the gat hum
Lick a shot!
So I let the gat hum
Had a bad dream woke up in a casket
Now I can't even get back at the bastard
Bull-shit!
This pine box ain't strong enough to contain the Afro Marx
Critical bell rings, snapped out the dream
What the fuck's up with the funny red beam
Pointin' at me, I got no strap G
What now? Gotta duck, they're gonna gat me
Bam, I feel numb
Where did the shotgun blast come from?
Let the gat hum
Lick a shot!
So I let the gat hum
Let the gat hum
Lick a shot
So I let the gat hum
All original boy-)
Lick a shot
(Oh)
Comin' at ya
(Fiya!)

Cried oh my, wanna get that punk with my AK

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/
