I've never liked you from the day our eyes met
You're nothing but a burden to me
And I never cared for all the praise you received
Was told that I should be more like you
It tears me apart when I think I can live up to you
But I think I never will
All the pain we've shared
How I can stand you
All these goddamn years
They pass me by and I'm still right here

I never knew how much you could get under my skin
Like a thorn from inside
And I always hated the way you looked down upon me
Like I'm nothing to you
My father always said I'm just jealous of you
But I think this hate is real

All the pain we've shared
How I can stand you
All these goddamn years
They pass me by and I'm still right here

I pretend I care
Through these lost years
How I can't stand you
But I'm still right here

Lost years

All the pain we've shared
How I can't stand you
All these goddamn years
They pass me by and I'm still right here

I pretend I care
Through these lost years
How I can't stand you
But I'm still right here

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
