You were always changing clothes
Torn sundress and panty hose
Crumpled up upon my floor.
And you'd abandoned all your dreams
Gave them up or so it seemed
For the chance to be my girl.

And the world won't ever change, if you only stay the same.

I'd give you the moon if I could.
I'd give you the stars if I could.
I'd give you my heart if you would take me as I am.

You were always switching roles.
Now you love me, now you don't
Like a lover in disguise.

And I was always chasing dreams, without an end or so it seemed, but I guess that's how it goes.
And the world won't ever change, if you only stay the same.

I'd give you the moon if I could.
I'd give you the stars if I could.
I'd give you my heart if you would take me as I am.

And if only stars coud shine as bright as you and I
Maybe then I'd grow some wings and I could learn to fly.

I'd give you the moon if I could.
I'd give you the stars if I could.
I'd give you my heart if you would take me as I am

    It's about a guy who is in love with a girl. Plain and simple. Geez, I really love this song. I can really relate. He keeps chasing, never getting anywhere, or so it seems.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/
