This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She took my cowboy boots and my fishin' gear,
My George Jones CD's and my case of beer.
She left a little note up on the table sayin' we were through.
Hey mister, you tell me, what's a good ol' boy to do?
I had a cherry red pick up, '75.
Last time I saw it, it was headin' out the drive.
Her hair was blowin' in the wind,
I think that she was laughin' too!
Hey mister, you tell me, what's a good ol' boy to do?
Time's are a changin', things are rearrangin'.
Lordy, it's a hell of a mess.
Who's in control, well I don't know.
It ain't me I guess.
I had a dog named Jack; she took him too.
That was the coldest thing she could ever do.
She left behind the cat,
You know, the one that I'm allergic to.
Hey mister, you tell me, what's a good ol' boy to do?
Time's are a changin', things are rearrangin'.
Lordy, it's a hell of a mess.
Who's in control, well I don't know.
It ain't me I guess.
Well, I went on over to the Savings and Loan.
I walked through the door and everybody moaned.
She had been there yesterday,
And left me with the dead-broke blues.
Hey mister, you tell me, what's a good ol' boy to do?
Time's are a changin', things are rearrangin'.

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
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.
