For a land of beauty
Where it's pretty and neat
There's a whole lotta ugly
Up and down the street
An ugly boy
An ugly girl
In an ugly home
There's not much pretty
Where the ugly roams
An ugly house falling down
So pretty you think
With ugly people washing dishes
In the kitchen sink
The scene is sad maybe tearful
But it still needs love
There's still warmth and kindness
Shining down from above

Well, there's a whole lotta people
All around the world
And there's at least one love
For every boy or girl
The majorities ugly though I
Don't know why
Every ugly has some pretty in
It's own little eye
What's ugly to you might be
Pretty to me
So I keep my eyes open to see
What I can see
I see through a bottle
To make it more clear
There's a whole lotta ugly
But the pretty's still there

[Chorus]
Whole lotta ugly
Ugly people need love too
No rest for the ugly
What's an ugly one to do

Ugly to the east
And ugly to the west
And I've ran from ugly
I must confess
I've seen ugly, seen pretty
Seen rich, seen poor
And ugly so tough
It knocks you to the floor
The ugly don't care
They live and they walk
And I'll bet your last dollar
That your one to talk
See the ugly's in charge
And that's no mistake
So sit yourself down
By your ugly date

[Chorus]

What's ugly to you might be
Pretty to me
So I keep my eyes open to see
What I can see
I see through a bottle
To make it more clear
There's a whole lotta ugly
But the pretty's still there

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.

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.
