Ow
Oh yeah
If you want to put a message
Through my heart
Shoot the arrow in the morning hey
I'm gonna rise and shine
And wake you up
And move you without warning
Call my name

I understand the reason for desire
The band I give to you will be the ring of fire
Something in your kiss that lasts forever
Burning in the heat for you
Love you 'round the clock
You get the best of what I got
Oh yeah

Gonna work all day to buy you pretty things
Cause you're such a pretty girl
You can work me overtime knock me out
Got my senses in a whirl
Like a locomotive burning down the track
You're my destination
One on one and kiss for kiss
You're my fascination
Something in your touch that holds the promise hey
You've got me feeling all shook up
Love you 'round the clock
You get the best of what I got
Oh yeah

I put my key inside your door
And it feels so good
When I come home at night
We're rocking the neighborhood
Rocking the neighborhood
Something that you read about in headlines
I feel the heat for you

I wanna rock you 'round the clock
You get the best
You get the best of what I got
Oh yeah
You get the best of what I got
Ow

I want to love you 'round the clock
(Best of what I got)
Oh

You get the best of what I got
(Best of what I got)
Ow

That's right
I want to love you 'round the clock
(Best of what I got)
Ow

Ooh yeah
(Best of what I got)
That's right
You get the best of what I got
(Best of what I got)

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
(Best of what I got)

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
