Mýa, oh Mýa
Mýa
Mýa, will you please come out the bathroom? (Oh)
Just put the brush down and walk away
Just say no, will you come on?

It's going down, I can feel it (uh huh)
All around, and I need it (yeah)
It's taking me where I love to be (uh-huh, where I love to be)
So come on
Pack it in, fill the room now
Throw it up, for the crew now
I close my eyes and touch the sky

See, I don't mind
If people wanna look at me crazy (crazy)
It don't even phase me (phase me)
The feeling is making me high yeah (uh huh)

I don't wanna stop (don't stop)
My body heat (my bod-ay)
Knocking me right, off of my feet (yeah, uh huh)
Making me so high (so high)
I can't deny (so high)
The feeling's takin' me over
Over, over, over (now that's what I'm sayin')

Fellas, where ya game at?
For the ladies, that you aim at
Take a shot, show 'em what you got (show 'em whatcha got)
So come on, whatcha say, better move it (uh-huh)
Whatcha know, ya better use it (yeah)
Make a play before it slips away

I can't wait, the second that I finish my business
Can I get a witness? (Amen)
There's no better feeling than this

I (oh, I) don't wanna stop (don't stop)
My body heat (my bod-ay)
Knocking me right, off of my feet (uh huh, yeah, yeah)
Making me so high (so high)
I can't deny (so high)
The feeling's takin' me over
Over, yeah, baby

Now somebody has some explaining to do
Now why is it the club manager keeps sweatin' me?
Just 'cause I show up with a gang of about twenty-three
Packed beyond capacity, we all getting in free
It's straight to VIP nothing but hands grabbing on me
I'm a star, so I start my tab at the bar
It's one of the benefits when everybody knows who you are
Like my car, valets salivate like it's a cookie jar
Just keep it up front fellas, don't take it too far
It's been since October since the last time I was sober
Music's like a drug when it starts takin' me over
I see Mýa ain't fightin' it, she's on the dance floor
But it's all good 'cause we splittin' the cash from the door (well)
Well, fourteen bottles of Dom P later
It's just me, Mýa, the DJ, and the waiter
I go outside find my ride dented up like now-or-laters (damn)
Almost cried, swallowed my pride and said
Peace you valet player hater

I don't wanna stop (don't stop)
My body heat (my bod-ay)
Knocking me right, off of my feet (yeah, uh huh, come on)
Making me so high (so high)
I can't deny (so high, deny)
The feeling's takin' me over
(Come on, let's do this again everybody)

I don't wanna stop (uh, don't stop)
My body heat (my bod-ay)
Knocking me right, off of my feet (yeah, uh huh, come on)
Making me so high (so high)
I can't deny (yeah)
The feeling's takin' me over
Over (ah)
Over (don't stop)
Over (my bod-ay)
(Knockin' me right)

Okay, people the party's over
Just return to your simple lives and forget

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
