you wanna talk about stress?
and the heart left hangin from a string like a necklace?
I’m the guy that you’ve been warned not to mess with
the farthest thing away from an emotional investment
step back.
girl, you don’t want this.
might look good in your head
but I’m a monster.
caused more tears than i can even account for
that drowns my soul face down when it showers.
i wanna die like a rock star
all alone in my lost thoughts
can’t live how i wanna
and spoke no lies when i told you I’m a lost cause
.............(bridge)............
but still your gonna go and try
and show me a different life
and get eaten up alive
and say "I"

(chorus)
I ate your soul..
"and i’ll eat you up"
"go hide for i eat too much"

I ate it whole...
"and this is what i do"
"go hide girl I’m just like you"

I ate your soul..
"and i’ll eat you up"
"go hide for i eat too much"

I ate it whole...
"and this is what i do"
"go hide girl I’m just like you"

you wanna talk about luck?
how no body loves you and your whole life’s _____?
girl, i was born to be crushed
and enjoy what its like to be thrown in the mud.
go.
and never come back.
stay where the sun shines and cover your tracks
i don’t wait for the fun times and savor the laughs
i drop dead at good bye and lay straight in my casket.
i wanna live where the blood dries
a lot quicker than some like.
without a smidgen of guilt
I’m a sit right here till the next woman comes bye
.............(bridge)............
but still your gonna go and try
and show me a different life
and get eaten up alive
and say "I"

(chorus)
I ate your soul..
"and i’ll eat you up"
"go hide for i eat too much"

I ate it whole...
"and this is what i do"
"go hide girl I’m just like you"

I ate your soul..
"and i’ll eat you up"
"go hide for i eat too much"

I ate it whole...
"and this is what i do"
"go hide girl I’m just like you"

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
