You're out there having fun, and I need you
I'm alone with this song about being empty
And the fear of missing out
It's hard to be alone,
Now eight miles I've walked up and down the hall
Long hall

Oh god, I miss my girl,
It's only been a night
I miss the last time that we had a fight
Isn't it sad?
Won't you say it's bad?

I don't care and if I have to
I'll read yoru books because they'll remind me of you
And I'll learn your notes so that I have a clue
And I'll watch your films, so that I know them through and through

And I'll do the things that remind me of you
And I'll wash my hair in your shampoo
And I'll buy your perfume and spary it 'round my room
And I'll smoke your cigarettes so that I'm dying too
And I call you up
Fa la la la
Fa la la la
Fa la la la

Oh, am I sane?
Am I sane?
Am I sane?

    Can't believe I'm the first to comment. I love this song, it's so true. He misses his girl, which makes him feel empty as he already says in the song itself. And because of this feeling, he asks himself if he's sane. Actually kinda sounds like something I'd do...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
