It was just the month of May,
Words got in my way, girl I'm so sorry
So I'm reaching out to you,
With the hope to see you through
Just another day

Do you see
the words I'm trying to say,
But words get in my way, girl I really mean it,
Yes I warned you from the start
That I could break your heart
So girl don't stay

Ooh, ooh little girl
Ooh, ooh little girl
ooh, ooh little girl

I'm the fool that plays the part, the one
That broke your heart,
Girl I'm so sorry, so what more can a poor boy do,
I'm reaching out to you,
So now don't you stay

Ooh, ooh little girl
Ooh, ooh little girl
ooh, ooh little girl

Shades turn red from green to blue,
What more can I do, I told you this before,
So please walk out hat door
I told you from the start
That love could break your heart,
Girl I'm so sorry, ooh ooh little girl

Ooh, ooh little girl
Ooh, ooh little girl
ooh, ooh little girl

    One of my all time favorite Journey songs, it even sounds a little like Pink Floyd in the guitar solo.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
