You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I'll always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything
Or anyone that I could be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be
What you have been to me, you will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times

Mama, mama, you know I love you
(You know I love you)
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars, yes, it is
Mama, I just want you to know, lovin' you is like food to my soul
Yes it is, yes it is, oh, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is, oh

You're always there for me
Have always been around for me, even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes, you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

There were so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you'd come to me and say to me
I could face anything

And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be, you will always be
The girl in my life, ooh, oh

Mama, mama, you know I love you
(You know I love you, you know I love you)
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (you are)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama, I just want you to know (ooh, mama I just want you to know)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day without you
Fills me up just thinkin' about you
I'll never go a day without my mama

Mama, mama, you know I love you
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (the queen of my heart)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Lovin' you is like food to my soul, oh yeah
You are the food to my soul, yes, you are

    I had failed my first big exam in first year of med school, was hopeless and crying my eyes out, I thought I couldn’t go on, like 2pac I felt all eyez on me and then my mother walked into my room and hugged me and it felt as if everything will be alright.....this is what this song reminds me of.

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
Ed Sheeran
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.
