I can't disguise the things I do
And things I say have a way of hurting you
I'm over there
These dreams are all I have left
I've nothing to spare
I can't pretend to be who I'm not
And there are things you need from me
I haven't got
No way but to end
Pick up the pieces of our lives
And maybe love again
There's only one way for things to be
Between you and me

    My Interpretation

    I have to admit I am a tad surprised that no one left a comment on this song. Maybe it is the context, but lately Ive really enjoyed this song. Personally, I relate it to a lot thats been going on this past year. Me and my love broke up a little over a year ago, and it was pretty rough. I don`t believe either one of us wanted it, so we kind of still hung out and did things that really only belongs to loving couples.

    However, during the last months Ive realized that things cant be this way. It all happened while I fell in love with another girl. Looking bvack, this text can describe how I shouldve acted. I shouldve said no, there is only one way for you and me to be with eachother.

    I like the essence of this song. Bottom line it says that even though things between you and me are difficult, we have to define our friendship, as it is the only rational thing to do.

    Thanks, John!

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
