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.
I've got a sweet secret under my bed
I've got to hide it from my friends
Cause my pony is the fastest in the world
She almost flys in the morning sky
She so cool, her eyes burn brighter
She could suck me dry
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says that it's inside my head
I'm getting older..........?
Nothing matches her fire
I've got a sweet secret under my bed
Or inside my head like mum said
She's all i got, she makes me perfect
And they can see me and i am pretty
When i'm riding she's so cool, her eyes burn brighter
I could suck her dry
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says it's inside my head
I'm getting older.........?
Nothing matches her fire
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says it's inside my head
I'm getting older..........?
Nothing matches her fire
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says that it's inside my head
I'm getting older..........?
Nothing matches her fire
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says it's inside my head
I'm getting older........?
Nothing matches her fire
I've got to hide it from my friends
Cause my pony is the fastest in the world
She almost flys in the morning sky
She so cool, her eyes burn brighter
She could suck me dry
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says that it's inside my head
I'm getting older..........?
Nothing matches her fire
I've got a sweet secret under my bed
Or inside my head like mum said
She's all i got, she makes me perfect
And they can see me and i am pretty
When i'm riding she's so cool, her eyes burn brighter
I could suck her dry
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says it's inside my head
I'm getting older.........?
Nothing matches her fire
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says it's inside my head
I'm getting older..........?
Nothing matches her fire
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says that it's inside my head
I'm getting older..........?
Nothing matches her fire
Why shouldn't i just kill my pony?
She says it's inside my head
I'm getting older........?
Nothing matches her fire

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This is my opinion from personal expiriences of my own.
A girl has an imaginary thing in her life. She wishes it was real. Her friends won't understand this imaginary entity and she feels like she has to keep it secret. Her mom says that it's not real and wants her to give it up. This entity makes her whole and feel loved and beautiful. She then realizes that people want her to get rid of it. It drives her crazy and thats where the "why shouldn't I just kill..." comes in. She feels that she has been lied to because she thought she could keep it forever.
PS I have a similar story in my personal life.
