She’s been my best friend
She’s been there for me
Always had good times
Nowhere else I’d rather be

One day a friend came over and asked me
Are you completely blind how can’t you see
She keeps it all locked up inside
More than friendship in mind
She loves you more than you know
And won’t just let go
And I pray she’s not headed down a one way street headed the wrong way

So time went by everything was great
We moved in together I saw then no mistakes
One day I came home she was crying on the floor
She needed something from me something more

She kept it all locked up inside
More than friendship in mind
And I did not know what to do
I was so confused
I couldn’t say she’s not headed down a one way street headed the wrong way

So I got scared and ran away
Spent a few days thinking about exactly what I would say
Suddenly I realized how much she meant to me
But when I came home all there was was a note for me

I kept it all locked up inside
More than friendship in mind
And now I guess you’ll never know
So I’ll just let go
Maybe someday you’ll come back and we can start things off headed the right way

Please don’t go

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/

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.
