I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside, all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew
What would you do?

All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away

I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
'Cause no one understands

All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away

I'm going nowhere (on and on and)
I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on)
Take me away
I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on)
And off and on

All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away

Take me away
Break me away
Take me away

    I've loved Avril for about 5 years now, the whole time she's never been a poser as soon as a dumb ass spots a "punk rock chick" she's automatically a poser. How about you ELABORATE to us why she is a poser, she CREATED her own style that all you kiddies wear today. Better yet TRY to make more records than her, TRY to get more fans and people that love her, then you can talk.

    Wow, SaveTheLastDance. You sure you're not Avril? Because...you're acting like what Avril was when she first came out and is re-turning into now: a whiny bitch with a high-school mentality and a 3rd-grader's writing skills. Do you realize that both your comments were a paragraph long, but you barely broke for punctuation? At least SGK531 was polite and educated in her dislike of Avril. If you don't like her, then fine, that's all good. But don't write her fans off because you don't know each and every one of them.

    And by the way, I do like Avril and I also like My Chemical Romance and Head Automatica and Bikini Kill and Ima Robot and The Almost, so get it through your head that Avril Fan does not necessarily equal 11 Year Old Faux Punk Poser. Get over yourself.

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
