In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Let's get creative
Thinking you could be my Romeo tonight
I bet you wanna taste it
I got what you've been looking for
Come with me, alright
Let's get creative
Think of all the things we'd like to do and say
To get syncopated
Body close to body till harmony
They say Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
Slow down, I think I love this baby
Throw down, don't keep me waiting
All night I know you want this baby
Playing around, hear what I'm saying
They say Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
I guess every part of me says yes
And baby I don't ever want regrets, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
'Cause lipstick's all about the kissing
Baby feel this, ain't got time for hugging
Come and take it, want you more than ever
Make me feel alive, feel the vibe
Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah, you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
I guess every part of me says yes
And baby I don't ever want regrets, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
Oh, oh, I'm a girl who can't say no
When it's you who says let's go
Keep the smile upon my face
Don't let it go because it feels good
Oh, oh, I'm a girl who can't say no
When it's you who says let's go
Thinking you could be my Romeo tonight
I bet you wanna taste it
I got what you've been looking for
Come with me, alright
Let's get creative
Think of all the things we'd like to do and say
To get syncopated
Body close to body till harmony
They say Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
Slow down, I think I love this baby
Throw down, don't keep me waiting
All night I know you want this baby
Playing around, hear what I'm saying
They say Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
I guess every part of me says yes
And baby I don't ever want regrets, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
'Cause lipstick's all about the kissing
Baby feel this, ain't got time for hugging
Come and take it, want you more than ever
Make me feel alive, feel the vibe
Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah, you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
I guess every part of me says yes
And baby I don't ever want regrets, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
Oh, oh, I'm a girl who can't say no
When it's you who says let's go
Keep the smile upon my face
Don't let it go because it feels good
Oh, oh, I'm a girl who can't say no

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/
Magical

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.
