I was walking down a one way street
Just a-lookin' for someone to meet
One woman, who was looking for a man
Now I'm hopin' (hopin') that the feeling is right
And I'm wonderin' (wonderin') if you'll stay for the night
So I'm coming (I don't wanna be lonely, baby, please tell me)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe it's true?
Do you believe in love?
Oh, you're making me believe it too

Now the feeling is beginning to grow
And the meaning is something you only know
If you believe it, take my hand and I'll take your heart
Come on
Now I wonder (wonder) where does true love begin?
I'm going under (under), so I'm lettin' you in
My woman (I don't wanna be lonely, baby, please tell me)
I wanna love you all over

(Do you believe in love?)
Do you believe in love?
(Do you believe it's true?)
You believe that it's true?
(Do you believe in love?)
Oh, you're making me believe it too
Yeah

(I used to have you in a photograph)
I'm so glad it's changed
(But now I've got you and it's gonna last)
Do you believe in love?

(Do you believe in love?)
(Do you believe it's true?)
I'm so glad, I'm so glad
(Do you believe in love?)
Oh, you're making me believe it too, yeah

(Wee-ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-ooh)
Do you believe in love?
(Wee-ooh, ooh-oh, wee-ooh)
Do you believe it's true?
(Wee-ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-ooh)
Do you believe in the love?
(Wee-ooh, ooh-oh, wee-ooh)
I believe in love too
(Wee-ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-ooh)

    This is a classic, timeless song about meeting someone and falling in love. It combines a straightforward message with an absolutely irresistible hook -- that harmony in the chorus kills me every time. The lyric is not deep or complicated, but I actually prefer it that way -- its very simplicity captures the naiveness and excitement of first love.

    RE: "I'm so glad it's changed" The singer is "so glad" because now he has a real woman ("now I've got you") and not just a photograph of one (see the preceding line). I guess the next logical question is how the singer acquired a photograph of this woman. Perhaps she's a model or a beauty queen. Or maybe she's a former schoolmate, so it was a yearbook picture. Perhaps a mutual friend passed along the photo. Or (shudder) did the singer stalk the woman with a camera and snap her photo surreptitiously? Ah, I guess it doesn't really matter.

    The Mutt Lange wrote this one? There is no innuendo.

    "I'm so glad it's changed"

    Huh?? It's a good song and all, but that one line doesn't sound right all of a sudden.

    The chorus is incorrect; the last line should be:

    Oh you're makin' me believe it too

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
