There's no other love like you
Did you see that guy?
Which one?
You're so
Well he looked
He looks so fine
He were lookin' at you for sure
He weren't lookin' at me
So?

Sweet, my sweet, funky thing
Sweet, my sweet, funky thing
Oh baby

Cherry kisses on a summer's day
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
My heart's on fire when I think of you
You stay on my mind, sweet like honey dew
I need you baby like a flower needs the rain
There's nobody who can make me feel the same

Sweet, your mine, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing
My baby, oh

I need your loving baby, every day
I give it all to you boy when you say
I want your loving right here and now
You've got me burning inside and out
I need you boy, like a flower needs the rain
When you wash away the hurt and ease my pain

Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing

(Sweet funky thing, my sweet funky thing)
If you're feeling the same my heart calls your name
The time is right for you and me tonight
My love runs so deep, it's yours to keep
Turn off the light, I know you want to be with me

Sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing

I need your loving every day
Like a flower needs the rain
Late at night I think of you
And the special things you do
I need you baby every day
Like a flower needs the rain
Late at night I dream of you
And the special things you do

My sweet
(Sweet funky thing, my sweet funky thing)

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
