The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
{Hook- Ciara& BowWow}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
[Bow Wow]
Now I done been with different kind of girls/ So I gotta seen them all
/But ain't none of them at all (like you)
And I done seen the best of the best
Baby, still I ain't impressed cuz
Ain't none of them at all (like you)
If you know how I feel when I chill
If I'm seen with a girl
Then she gotta be just (like you)
And baby thats the way I feel
And I ain't got no choice
But for me to keep it real
Cuz when we/ first got together
Starting hanging out you was/ skeptical at first
Had to figure out if
I was the kind of guy that
Would try to dog you out but
I ain't that kind of guy you try to make me out
You found out when you turned to my baby
I showed them other brothers
How to treat a lady
I let you drive when I ride that Mercedes
And I ain't trippin' or actin' shady
Cuz baby you know
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
(Ciara)
And everytime I think about you I smile
When you ride, when you call, when you come around
Your love is amazing to me
I can't wait till I see you (I wanna be with you again)
And everytime your out on the road (I'll make a trip)
And whenever I'm doing a show (Don't you forget)
That I'm your main chick
Who got that game chick
One in the same chick
The one you can hang with
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
[Bow Wow]
Ok we/ hit the mall, pop tags
Spend a few G's [Cheesin']
Hit the runway to a new season
It ain't nothing
Spoil the one I care for
Feel like I ain't doin' enough
That's when I share more
I give you this, give you that
What chu need love
You know I got it
Holla at me if you need love
And affection cuz I'll be your protection
Kind of hard job but I'll do till perfection
And you can tell that I ain't tryin' to let you go
I get with you when I can
So thats how I let you know
And you be trippin' cuz sometimes I gotta go
But chu the first one
I holla to right after my show
Hey now I was trippin' in a sense
I was tense but my body's loose around you
But I'ma do without you
I gotta get it together, say whateva
Cuz since I met you my life seems so better
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In a special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
That is what you told and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you{2X}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
i thought that it meant in the filmclip that they'd only just met and like it was a daydream of what they could be doing if they didn't have partners??
