This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What it was, wasn’t my fault
If I would have known, but,
Who could have known?
The cameras and the kids
The candids and the kindling
We’re fighting them all
They’ve done it again
What do her friends say?
Who was involved?
I’ll call it all off.
Cause I should have known but,
Who could have known?
Who could have known?
The needles, the space.
That time can’t erase
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
The thrill of it all.
The rise and the fall
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
On the way back to the bank.
His head sinking low.
He should have known.
How hard did it come?
When was it that you
Lost your soul?
What does it take?
What did they make you?
What do you know?
Well we’ve done it again, again,
Again, now we’ll let you in but,
We should have known.
We should have known
The needles, the space.
That time can’t erase
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
The thrill of it all.
The rise and the fall
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
Now buttoned down, you’ll get the best of me.
Buttoned down, you’ll get the best of me.
If I would have known, but,
Who could have known?
The cameras and the kids
The candids and the kindling
We’re fighting them all
They’ve done it again
What do her friends say?
Who was involved?
I’ll call it all off.
Cause I should have known but,
Who could have known?
Who could have known?
The needles, the space.
That time can’t erase
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
The thrill of it all.
The rise and the fall
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
On the way back to the bank.
His head sinking low.
He should have known.
How hard did it come?
When was it that you
Lost your soul?
What does it take?
What did they make you?
What do you know?
Well we’ve done it again, again,
Again, now we’ll let you in but,
We should have known.
We should have known
The needles, the space.
That time can’t erase
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
The thrill of it all.
The rise and the fall
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
Now buttoned down, you’ll get the best of me.
Buttoned down, you’ll get the best of me.

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/

I feel like this song is about a death, one that he feels like he should have been watching out for, so maybe like suicide or drugs or something. Time cant erase the death. The line "When was it that you lost your soul" also makes me think of death and suicide a little bit.
I think the song is called Buttoned Down because he is in a nice Button down shirt for a funeral. I think he might be saying he feels like this person deserves his best so he is going to dress up real nice in a button down shirt.
