Hmm
Summer child
And Wendy, I ain't seen for a while
Since she's been working
Trying to catch her old style
With that, I got her back
My kettle's always boiling, snow is falling
And it's truly freezing
Danny ain't been calling
He's got a family
But outside my door still says
"Welcome on the floor"
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby (baby!)
Bring me up, baby girl (baby!)
One day someone will snatch me for their lady
The buds in their blooms now
But no letters come from Lucy
She's deep in her book
Trying to bring down the words
But she's on my mind profusely, my sister Lucy
The birds and the bees, yeah
They do their thing in trees
While we're hustling
Rosalind's playing the game of life
We're looking in the dark light
For the answers to the questions, like
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby (baby!)
Bring me up baby (baby!)
One day someone will snatch me for their lady (watch me now)
I could never be your number two, yeah
'Cause when you're not there
I'm sure someone is loving you
And I can't have it
I won't have it, now
'Cause one day someone will snatch me for their lady, oh yeah
You know, sometimes
See, I find myself confused
It's always "why this" and "why that"
See, have you ever heard the saying "it's just a game"?
Well, then one more "why"
Why can't I start playing?
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby (baby!)
Baby (baby!)
Ooh, ah, yeah
('Cause I could never) I could never be your number two
'Cause when I'm not there
I'm sure someone is loving you
And I can't have it, no (yeah, yeah)
I won't have it, no, no
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Life is just a big ol' game to me (it's a big ol' game, yeah)
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby (baby!)
Baby (baby!)
Ooh, ah, yeah
I could never be your
Your number two
'Cause someone else will come and start loving you
And I can't have it
I told you I won't have it, now
Oh, life is just a big old game to me
Hmm-mmm

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”
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
