1, 2, 3 - Go!

Broken,
Yeah, you've been living on
The edge of a broken dream
Nothing,
Yeah, that's the only thing
You'll ever take away from me

I'm never gonna stop,
I'm never gonna drop,
Ain't no different
Than it was before

So take some good advice,
You better stop and think twice,
Before you take your first step,
Out that door

If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down)
If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down

You had your chance to walk away
Live to see another day

If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...

Aaah...

Suffering,
Yeah, that's the only thing here
That's left for you
Nothing,
Yeah, that's the only thing
You're ever gonna - do

I'm never gonna stop,
I'm never gonna drop,
Ain't no different
Than it was before

So take some good advice,
You better stop and think twice,
Before you take your first step,
Out that door

So if you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down

You had your chance to walk away
Live to see another day

If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...

You're gonna get knocked down...

And now you've crossed that line...
You must be out your mind

Go

If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down

You had your chance to walk away
Live to see another day

If you want to step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...

You're gonna get knocked down (step up)

You're gonna get knocked down...

You're gonna get knocked down (step up)

You're gonna get knocked... down!

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.
