Ain't nothing working ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try

Hey bartender hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bubble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby
I'd be the quarterback
Hike hit the tailback
Watch it on playback
Jah smash that hitting that redbone
Up in the endzone biting on the collarbone

[Chorus]
I just want your company
I just want you to comfort me just come with me

Hey bartender hit me with another
I just about had to kill this brother
Shit I'm looking for trouble tonight
You be the beauty - baby
I'd be the beast
Who gives a fuck take it to the bedroom
Take it the streets
Take it like a man muthafucker
Yo bitch chose me muthafucker

[Chorus: x 2]

Take me there take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight

Baby please don't trust me tonight
No please don't trust me tonight

Ain't nothing working
Ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try
Ain't nothing sweeter there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I receive keeps me strong
It keeps me moving on

I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me

Comfort me just come with me
Comfort me just come with me

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

Magical
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.

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.
