I heard you whisper on the train
You weren't as free as you'd been lately
Before we walk this way again
I could tell you stories that changed me
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Nobody wants to feel they're being left out
Not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
Nobody wants to feel they're being left out
I heard you whisper in the trees
You weren't as free as you could have been lately
Before we wonder one of these
I could tell you stories that saved me
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
And nobody wants to feel they're being left out
Not everybody want a family and a fancy house
Nobody wants to feel they're being left out
So let's sit at home and count the stars and think it out
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
And even when it rains
Love protects you
Call her secret name
And don't forget you
Want a world you can't explain
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Nobody wants to feel they're being left out
Not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
Everybody wants to know what love is all about
So let's sit at home and count the cars and laugh it out
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Don't forget you
Want a world you can't explain

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
