Just wakin' up in the mornin',
gotta thank God,
I don't know,
but today seems kinda odd,
No barkin' from the dog,
no smog,
And Momma cooked my breakfast
with no hog.
I got my grub on,
but didn't pig out,
Finally got a call from a girl
I wanna dig out.
Hooked it up for later
as I hit the door,
Thinkin' will I live
another twenty-fo'?
I gotta go 'cause I got
me a drop-top,
And if I hit the switch,
I can make the ass drop.
Had to stop at a red light,
Lookin' in my mirror,
not a jacker in sight,
And everything is alright,
I got a beep from Kim,
and she can fuck all night.
Called up the homeys
and I'm askin' y'all,
Which park are y'all
playin' basketball?
Get me on the court
and I'm trouble,
Last week, fucked around
and got a triple double, yeah
Freakin' niggas every which way,
just like M.J.,
I can't belive today was a good day.

Creep to the pad
and hit the showers,
I didn't even even get no static
from the cowards,
'Cause just yesterday
them fools tried to blast me,
they saw the police,
and they rolled right past me.
No flection',
didn't even look
in a brother's direction,
As I ran the intersection,
Went to Short Dog's house,
they was watchin' Yo! MTV raps,
What's the haps on the craps?
Shake 'em up, shake 'em up,
shake 'em up, shake 'em,
Roll 'em in a circle of niggas
and watch me break 'em,
With the seven, seven eleven,
seven eleven,
seven even back do' little Joe,
I picked up the cash flow,
and then we played bones,
and I'm yellin' domino,
Plus nobody I know
got killed today
in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day.

Left my homey's house payed,
Picked up a girl
been tryin' to do
since the twelfth grade,
It's ironic,
I had the brew,
she had the chronic,
The ROCKETS
beat the Supersonics.
Woke her up around one,
She didn't hesitate
to me the top gun.
Drove her to the pad
and I'm coastin'
Took fifth of the potion,
hit the three-wheel motion.
Drunk as Hell,
but no throwin' up,
Halfway home,
and my pager's still blowin' up,
Today I didn't even
have to use my AK,
I gotta say it was a good day.

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/
