If You Asked

Long-View

Hear you talk so loud and clear
Can't help feeling something's near
Though you've not said much
You said it all

Been four weeks it starts to show
Last in line for you I know
Though you've not said much
You said it all

But I'd stay for you
I'd go right through
I'd be here close
When you need it most
I'd be around
If you felt down
I'd bring you flowers
Sit and talk for hours

Finish up and dry my face
I'm shining like a new penny
I'll never light your eyes up like they should

But I'd stay for you
I'd help you through
Though your not mine
Already knew
I'd cheer you up
If you felt down
I'd make you smile
I'd be around

I'd stay for you
I'd go right through
I'd be here close
When you need it most
I'd be your type
Whatever you like
I'd bring you flowers
Sit and talk for hours
I'd cheer you up
If you felt down
I'd make you smile
When you came around

    Scottish Lion, i know that feeling.. this song hurts.. it just reminds me of the person i love but can never be with, the one i'd do anything for.. "Sit and talk for hours" i stayed up till 4 am just to talk to them.. heh 7 hour conversation.. "Though you've not said much You said it all" i love that line, well love the whole song actually.. He know's she doesn't feel the same, or isn't nearlly as important to her as she is to him.. "Last in line for you I know" but he loves her all the same and is still there for her throughout everything "I'd stay for you, I'd go right through I'd be here close" sigh

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
