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.
J'aime l'odeur de ta peau le matin.
Elle m'excite et je veux avoir mal.
Lit chaud. Air Froid.
Ton regard affamé me brûle, et j'ai besoin de sentir plus.
Le sang sur tes ongles me fait peur, mais malgré tout je veux que tu restes.
Je suis meurtrie et écorchée, et je devrais souffrir, mais tu me retiens et
tout me paraît bien.
Je t'en prie, crois-moi quand je te dis "Ne me quitte plus."
Tout ce que je veux faire see'est être couchée à tes côtés, ici dans ce lit.

I love your flirting
And I love your fingers
And I love your boots
And I love your sigh
I love your murmur
And I love your freckles
And I love the way
You say "goodbye"
I love the smell of your skin, in the morning
It excites me, and I want to feel sore
Warm bed, cold air, your hungry stare
Delights me, and now I need some more
I love your scratches
And I love your teasing
And I love your sweat
And I love your voice
I love your riddles
And I love your shivers
And I love your curl
And I love your toys
And seeing blood on your nails just never fails
To appal me, but I still want you to stay
I'm bruised, I'm cut, it ought to hurt, but
You enthral me, and that makes it okay
And please, just believe me, when I say "Don't ever leave me"
Because lying here beside you, is all I want to do
The smell of your skin, in the morning
Excites me, and I want to feel sore
Warm bed, cold air, your hungry stare
Delights me, and now I need some more
Blood on your nails just never fails
To appal me, but I still want you to stay
I'm bruised I'm cut, it ought to hurt, but
You enthral me, and that makes it okay
(Hers)
I love your stubble
I love your navel
I love your frown
I love your heels
I love your lipstick
I love your biting
I love your tongue
And the way it feels
I love your letters
I love your phone calls
I love your hips
Your naked wrists
I love your stories
I love your sisters
I love your tears
I love your breasts
I love your whispers
I love your dancing
I love your thirst
I love your lies
I love your tantrums
I love your perfume
I love your teeth
Your big surprise
I love your bleeding
I love your mischief
I love your eyes
Those things you said
I love your temper
I love your trembling
I love to lie
Here in your bed
I love your stubble
I love your navel
I love your frown
I love your heels
I love your lipstick
I love your biting
I love your tongue
And the way it feels
I love your letters
I love your phone calls
I love your hips
Your naked wrists
I love your stories
I love your sisters
I love your tears
I love your breasts
I love your whispers
I love your dancing
I love your thirst
I love your lies
I love your tantrums
I love your perfume
I love your teeth
Your big surprise
I love your bleeding
I love your mischief
I love your eyes
Those things you said

I love your trembling
I love to lie

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
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.
