Diamond Ring

Pedro the Lion

You said that you would not love me last summer
And you said that you would not love me last spring
But I hoped that you would change your mind by autumn
Especially when I bought that diamond ring

But you still said no
You wouldn't have me
You still said no, no, no

I heard that you've been sleeping with your old friends
And I heard when each one left, and broke your heart
I told you then that I would never leave you
And I told you that I loved you from the start

You still said no
You would not have me
You still said no, no, no

And even though you haven't any answers
You still think that you don't need anyone
To save you from the mess that you've created
And even when I gave my only son

You still said no
You wouldn't have me
You still said no, no, no

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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/
