Oh yeah, I wanna tell you 'bout my baby
I wanna tell you 'bout my baby, oh yeah now

When the sun goes down
Everybody outta be with the one you love
When the sun goes down, oh yeah, yeah, yeah now
I can just feel you in my arms right now
Baby, please come back home

You see I love you, I want you, I need you, I love you
Baby, come on, come on, come on baby
I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved
Need you, love you, won't you baby, yeah

When the sun goes down
Talking about the sun, oh now, now, now, oh yeah
That's when I want you the most
I wanna work for you all day long
I wanna be with you, only you can satisfy, baby, baby

I wonder if anybody, anybody know the way I feel
I wonder if I can get the whole band, I wonder if I can get everybody
I wonder if I can get everybody to help me
Come on, help me Carla, come on girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on baby, that's it, come on, come on baby, yeah

When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
I wonder if I can get the piano man to help me one time
When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down
I need my baby when the sun goes down

Everybody help me sing one more time
But I'm about to blow my mind
When the sun goes down, that's when I need you the most
Come on, come on, come on, everybody now
When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down
That's when I need my baby around, when the sun goes down
One more time with the dear one, come on one time
That's it, that's it, that's it, everybody now

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
