all he wanted was a simple life of love
someone to notice he was there
but all he found were empty rooms
of loneliness no one seemed to care

so this is life after all

all she wanted was a boy to love and hold
help her make it through the day
but all she found was a heartache
everybody a mistake broken dreams just fade away

so this is life after all

here we stand in line waiting for the turn of tide
hoping life will lend a hand
when we just dont understand
we move them on

we move them on and on

why dont you feel why dont you see
does it hurt too much to notice me

and everything we did was wrong
them moving on

all he wanted was to fit in
with the other kids that always laughed at him
but all he found were other broken hearts
searching for more than anyone could give

we move them on and on

    i think its about people who just want some one to love, but will never find it because people dont notice them "does it hurt to much to notice me" about people who dont fit in, and all they want is to fit in i think great song either way, wrong or right :P

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
