Somebody told me I should get a normal job
If I don't quit the band I have I'll end up as a slob
But I'm not listening to no one
Especially not the people who aren't happy with their lives
And yet they preach

Well, this is who I am and what I really want to do
Yeah, I do respect you, hope you will respect me too
Ready to go on with my life, know it's all me
I realize it now, I'm sure my life was free, I realize it now

Somebody told me that I dream my life away
If I don't start to live like him I'll end up being ashamed
But I won't fall, I'll never leaving
More important than this
I should be following just in me, go my own way

Well, this is who I am and what I'm truly standing for
Figure out the answers by myself and I'm quite sure
Working to whatever that I want it's all me
I realize it now, I'm sure my life was free, I realize it now

This is a beginning
Yeah, I know it never ends
Life's too short for you to doubt
There is always someway out
Try your own way, you will see
How much sweeter life can be?

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.

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/

Page

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.
