This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
You hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand? Ooh, ah
Maybe I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand? Ooh, ah
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Oh, oh, oh
Hey-ey-hey
Oh, oh, oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
You hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand? Ooh, ah
Maybe I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand? Ooh, ah
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Oh, oh, oh
Hey-ey-hey
Oh, oh, oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
I think hes reached a feeling of amazement in the relationship. It sounds like such an obvious statement but it does define the song.Paul is amazed bc he cant believe he has the woman he does; hes amazed that he needs her so much.. instead of relenting over the necessity he takes on a feeling of gratitude-one that, just maybe, will get him through the tough times hes in.
@thisisptless56 do you think you can also be used for letting somebody know that this is how much they care about them this is what they have done for them and they just don\'t want you to leave they want you to hang on and know that they\'re willing to work with you on anything. Can that be what this song is used for also you think?
This song is more about how he needs his wife, how he doesn't understand life and really needs her help to get through it.
The way I took this song was the relationship is going through some trouble (Maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something that he doesn't really understand). And he is wanting comfort from his girl. I think this song is amazing.
I think he's scared because he's never felt something so strong and real. It's my hubby's and mine song. :)
Jeez, Asstronauts, it's not about Heather Mills - it was written 35+ years ago about Linda (wife #1).
This was on his first solo album (McCartney, released in 1970) and no doubt was written during the Beatles break-up. Paul has described the Beatles break-up as being quite emotional for him (probably all of them) - he said he felt a sense of loss and was depressed for a while and really didn't know what he was going to do. I think Linda was his salvation during this period and this song is a reflection of it.
Absolutely the best by McCartney, I think! When you have feelings so strong you try to catch up to it with your mind, but fail... One of the best love songs ever!
One of Paul's masterpieces!
Definately one of paul's best
i think this song is about the point in a relationship when you think it might really be something special, and your initial reaction is to pull back, out of fear. and you know you really don't want to but you're afraid of getting hurt. so this song is kind of like that plea to be patient and not let him get away...
there's a remake by a band called Jem...of course you can't compare it to paul mccartney, but it's pretty good
i love this song... it was on the OC final episode the other week, and i thought it was beautiful =)
