This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well, well
Hey little boy you're not allowed to stay
You have to evolve inevitably
And I've sure come a long way
The road up ahead is so unclear
Back slidin' down the bottom of beer
Nobody knew if I would make it here
And hey sweet music set me free
From the statistic that I started to be
I wish my mama was alive to see
The memories of the pain have scarred
And when I fall it's usually hard
But I get up and keep followin' God
Hey, I'm gettin' grown, gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown hey
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Now I remember the good ol' days
Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze
Now I got three children to raise
I-I-I never won't be perfect I know
But workin' on it is worth it I know
Life is just learning as you go
Been selfish once or twice
I had to learn how to sacrifice
To live to my late nineties'd be nice
Every day that goes by I find
It either hits me or it robs me blind
God I owe You this life of mine
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Ooh, time changed but it feels the same
There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang
And hey hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay
But thanks for wakin' me up today
Prepare me for what may come my way
And hey say, young man, there's no need to cry
Because I know you will get by
Look your destiny in the eye
Ooh everyday my heart burns to try
You got to walk before you learn to fly
And we all got to earn to die
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)
Gettin' grown, gettin' grown
(La la la la la, la la la la la)

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran

this isn't the correct transcript of the song...please disregard whomever posted this set of lyrics.
Wow, four years since a single post. Here's the correct lyrics, and as far as what the song means...well, 99% of Cee-Lo's songs are straight-forward.
Ohhhh, mmhmmm. Well, well, mmmhmmm. Hey, heyy.
Little boy, you're not allowed to stay, You have to evolve inevitably, And I've sure come a long way. Hey, hey, the road up ahead was so unclear, Backsliding down the bottom there, Nobody knew if I would make it here.
And hey, sweet music set me free, From the statistic that I started to be, I wish my momma was alive to see. Mmhmm, the memories of the pain are scarred, And when I fall it's usually hard, But I get up and keep followin' God.
I'm gettin' grown, Lalalala, lalalala, I'm gettin' grown.
Mmmm, gettin' grown, lalalala, lalalala, I'm gettin' grown, hey.
Aha-ha-ha-ha, I remember the good ol' days, Brawls, and boxes of blunts to blaze, But I got three children to raise. I-I-I-I'm never gonna be perfect, I know, But workin on it is worth it, I know, Life is just learning as you go. Mmmhmm, been selfish once or twice, I had to learn how to sacrifice, To live til my late nineties'd be nice. Mmmhmmm, everday that goes by is divine, Resentment, it'll rob ya blind, God I owe you this life of mine.
I'm gettin' grown, Lalalala, lalalala, I'm gettin' grown.
'Gettin grown, Lalalalala, lalalala, Gettin' grown.
Whistling
Times changee, but I feel the same, There's no tellin' what tomorrow'll bring, And if I could, I wouldn't change a thing. Hey, heyy, Lord I know I'm not here to stay, But thanks for wakin' me up today, Prepare for what might come my way.
And heyy, young man there's no need to cry, Because I know we will get by, Look your destiny in the eye. Oooh, everyday my heart burns to try, You gotta walk before you fly, And we all gotta earn to die.
I'm gettin' grown, Lalalalala, lalalala, Gettin' grown.
Gettin' grown, Lalalala, lalalala, Gettin' grown.
Whistling begins, chorus repeats until fade
well, cee lo isn't allways strait forward, actually, most of the time he's prety cryptic.
