Would you like to sit and talk to me
About the way things change so
Suddenly
When your senses come and the feeling
Goes?
Can you remember feeling much
Too close?

Stop your hands from shaking.
Look at me.
Are your senses racing endlessly
Tracing
Past impressions? So were mine
Have you ever been used
Or will this be the first time?

It's come so clear to me
Light fuse and get away
No gain, no pain
It's a fatal game
And the true lose everything

I can see
What trust and loyalty have done
For me
Falling miles from the mark
With a thirst for revenge
And a dangerous heart

I've tried to wash from memory
Feelings of betrayal and the incidents
That plague me since I lost my sense
Of innocence

A history of changes now I'm loving
Now I'm losing keeps me constantly
In fear of hearing "I can't see where
This is going"

You lie alone with the memory
Feeling the ceiling and walls closing
In on
Your conscience, my ally
The guilt, your affliction
From preying on praise as you fed
An attention addiction

Someone told me
Light fuse and get away
No gain, no pain
And when it's lust to dust you can
Crawl from the wreckage

I can see
What trust and loyalty have done
For me
Lying bleeding in the dark
With a thirst for revenge
And a dangerous heart

It's come so clear to me
Light fuse and get away
No gain, no pain
It's a fatal game
And the true lose everything

I can see
What trust and loyalty have done
For me
Falling miles from the mark
With a thirst for revenge
And a dangerous heart

    K, on the When Dream and Day Reunites Song by Song documentry review, Kevin Moore said it is about using someone for sex, but it's not from any one partically view, and it's not about using them because the person has no feelings, but about being afraid to get attached in the off chance they might get hurt. That's what the line "No Pain, No Gain" means.

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/
