In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Don't think I can't feel that there's something wrong
You've been the sweetest part of my life for so long
I look in your eyes, there's a distant light
And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight
This is getting serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
Oh, baby, think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
For the fire and the faith that was you and me
Babe, I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for higher ground
'Cause when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down
But, baby, this is serious (this is serious)
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
Baby, this is serious (this is serious)
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Baby, don't say what you're about to say (no, no, no, no)
Look back before you leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
(Baby, think twice) don't do what you're about to do
My everything depends on you (I depend on you)
Whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice
Before you roll those dice (don't do it, baby, no, don't do it, baby)
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
You've been the sweetest part of my life for so long
I look in your eyes, there's a distant light
And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight
This is getting serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
Oh, baby, think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
For the fire and the faith that was you and me
Babe, I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for higher ground
'Cause when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down
But, baby, this is serious (this is serious)
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
Baby, this is serious (this is serious)
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Baby, don't say what you're about to say (no, no, no, no)
Look back before you leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
(Baby, think twice) don't do what you're about to do
My everything depends on you (I depend on you)
Whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice
Before you roll those dice (don't do it, baby, no, don't do it, baby)
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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

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.

Celine has an amazing voice, really powerful and i think that this song is great for singing along to into your hairbrush!! i reckon the meaning of this song is "dont leave me"!! She loves him ans she is saying that he should.......think twice.... before leaving her...awwww!
when ever me and my boyfriend a row no matter how small and he threatens to finish it i just start crying and i sing this song to him and this part makes him hold on to what we've got "Don't say what you're about to say Look back before you leave my life Be sure before you close that door Before you roll those dice Baby think twice" and here i am 5 months down the line and i'm now engaged to him and in around a year and a half we are getting married.
