Hey, what's up?
I want to dedicate this one
To all my ballers, shot callers, ha
You know how we do
We turned nothing into something

From the South Side to the East Side
From the ghetto to the high rise
Look at how we livin' now, oh yeah
Check out how we livin'now, oh-oh

From the hooptie to the Benz-o
From the Greyhound to the Limo
That's how we rollin' girl, oh yeah
Look at how we rollin' now, oh

[Chorus: ]
We took nothing
And turned it into something
We took nothing
And turned it into something
Turned it into something

Check it out
From the iced tea to the Cristal
From the swap meet to the big mall
That's how we ballin' girl
Check out how we ballin' now, yeah

From sexin' to making love
From protection to no glove
That's how we're making babies now
A little G, look just like me, hey can't you see?

[Chorus: ]

[Repeat: 2X]
I ain't never gonna leave you girl
I ain't never gonna go nowhere
I ain't never gonna hurt you girl
I ain't never gonna beat you girl
And I ain't never gonna let you down
I ain't never gonna make you frown
I ain't never, I ain't never, I ain't never gonna
I ain't never gonna

Look, we've got so much her together, babe
You see we took nothing and turned it into something, oh

(We took nothing)
(We turned it into something)
You and me together
Check it out, lemme break it down
(We took nothing)
See one year of courting
Two years of kissing
Three years of *uckin'
And four years of making love
Said just you and me, you and me
So that equals eternity, hey hey
(I know you feelin' me now, huh) They said it wouldn't last
Said it wouldn't last

(We took nothing)
See one year of courting
Two years of kissing
Three years of *uckin'
And four years of making love
(Turned it into something)
That's you and me
That's the way a love should be, yeah
Oh, you and me did, oh, you and G did
Said we did, yeah

(We took nothing)
Look at what we did, look at we did
(Turned it into something)
We took all our tiny fingers and we put them together
(Turned it into something)
And we made up something so good, so sweet
Everybody everybody wants it, everybody wants it
We took nothing, nothing
(We took nothing)
Nothing, nothing, ah baby baby

Ah, nothing, nothing
Said we took nothing, me and you
You and me, you and me baby
Uh huh, uh huh

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Blue
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.

Plastic Bag
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.
