Five hundred will buy you a stack
Bet it on the red or the black and you lose
Bet on the blues
You tell me you are a gambling man
Try to beat the house if you can and you lose
Bet on the blues
If you're looking to get an inside slant
If you're looking for something so good you can't refuse
Bet on the blues
Find a man who thinks he's over the hump
And I'm here to tell you he's a kind of a chump, you can use
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Lucky old sun is shining today
Even money says you'll be paying some dues
Bet on the blues
You say you found your lady fair
Eight to five says she's wearing her traveling shoes
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues, bet on the blues
Five hundred will buy you a stack
Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose
Bet on the blues
If you're looking to get an inside slant
If you're looking for something so good, you can't refuse
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
You better, bet on the blues
Bet it on the red or the black and you lose
Bet on the blues
You tell me you are a gambling man
Try to beat the house if you can and you lose
Bet on the blues
If you're looking to get an inside slant
If you're looking for something so good you can't refuse
Bet on the blues
Find a man who thinks he's over the hump
And I'm here to tell you he's a kind of a chump, you can use
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Lucky old sun is shining today
Even money says you'll be paying some dues
Bet on the blues
You say you found your lady fair
Eight to five says she's wearing her traveling shoes
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues, bet on the blues
Five hundred will buy you a stack
Bet it all on the red or the black and you lose
Bet on the blues
If you're looking to get an inside slant
If you're looking for something so good, you can't refuse
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
Bet on the blues
You better, bet on the blues

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
