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.
he held his breath
to hold your hand
to walk the stairsteps in pairs
climbing up the slippery slope
I'm in love
love I hope
don't go home Angelina
stay with me
hanging around in the lost and found
kissed you quick
feeling weird
lonely lived and disappeared
this is such a simple place
passing time can't erase
don't go home angelina
paint tomorrow blue
day breaks
and every morning when he wakes
he thinks of you
I'm alone
that's okay
i dont mind
most of the time
I dont feel afraid to die
she was here passing by
don't go home angelina
stay with me
hanging around in the lost and found
stay with me
hanging around in the lost and found
to hold your hand
to walk the stairsteps in pairs
climbing up the slippery slope
I'm in love
love I hope
don't go home Angelina
stay with me
hanging around in the lost and found
kissed you quick
feeling weird
lonely lived and disappeared
this is such a simple place
passing time can't erase
don't go home angelina
paint tomorrow blue
day breaks
and every morning when he wakes
he thinks of you
I'm alone
that's okay
i dont mind
most of the time
I dont feel afraid to die
she was here passing by
don't go home angelina
stay with me
hanging around in the lost and found
stay with me
hanging around in the lost and found

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Wow. This is such a goddamn good song. It's so cute and amazingly nice and kind of sad at the same time. I want to listen to it all the time.
I think I might.
