The pressure builds up all year long
But I'll try and stick it out
Just one more day

my teachers and my parents
They never let up - they're always on my case
Just one more day

the homework I get sometimes is way too much
So I'll copy off my friends
Just one more day

the friends I've made - I'll never forget
When I need help - they push me on
Just one more day

I open my eyes to another day
I know what's ahead and I want to stay in bed
I haven't studied for my test and all my homework is a mess
Back to school again

down by the lockers at lunch time
That's where we'll be my friends and I
Planning our weekends - hooking up dates
Till the lunch bell rings
Then we know it's back to school again

the things I learn in my school
Math, science, and all the rules
Seem stupid now - but I'll get good grades
Instead of blowing my summer away
Back to school again

you - must never give up
You - must always push on
You - must have the will to succeed
You - must not fall victim to the dropout disease

I've made it through another day
Kept out of determination - and that's okay
I wonder what tomorrow will bring
Will I cut school or bring my homework in

no one believes in me
I have faith in myself now
I know I can do it
No problem

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
