Hey, I think you're cute
Would you like to be my new best friend?
We can talk for hours or just lay in bed
You're just the kind of kid I could grow old with
So won't you walk with me to the park up the road?

I told you that I'd be right back
You said that I'll be the judge of that
'Cause see boys, they have a tendency of running from me
As fast as they can, I don't know why

Well, I just laughed and asked if you'd like
A coke or some sort of assorted beverage
From the diner up the road, if so you should walk with me
Feel free to hold my hand, feel free to kiss me on the cheek
Even though I'd, even though I'd prefer
Even though I'd prefer the lips

Hey, I think you're groovy
Would you wanna see a movie with me?
We can sit in uncomfortable seats and eventually
I'll get up the nerve to put my arm around you
Can I put my arms around you 'cause I'd sure like to?

It'll be like an episode of 'Boy Meets World'
Except without the commercials
And I'm just fine with that
How about you? How about you?

I like the way you talk, I like your dyed black hair
I love the half-ass accent you stole from the foreign movies
I like your pretty eyes and how you're afraid of the dark
Well, I am too

So would you like to take a walk with me?
Through a well lit park just up the block
I'll be the bright side of your bad day
I'll be the bright side of your bad night
I'll be the bright side of your bad day
If you'll be mine

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
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/

Magical
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.
