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.
I mean I've been doing some thinking you know
And we only teenagers but I do love you
But I think we gotta move on
Don't cry though
Listen this is teenage love baby
When I'm alone all I'm thinking about is my girl
You smile your pretty face' and them light brown curls
At first I was playing and saying cause love is a horrible thing
The way straight to it didn't hesitate
Wit any these Tyga my friends call me fly than yah
X-men head is flying
Being honest I am more than what you can find in cereal boxes
Be my goddess higher in this world
I could take your body
Probably being a man is not an option its a hobby
So you holding my hand is what other girls is watching
Picks up your prints in your locker
Put this lip gloss on and get the haters poppin lil mamma
[Chorus]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Don't don't don't hurt me again
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Don't don't don't hurt me again
You call up the studio
I said about another hour
But you refused to hear it, saying baby do you miss me
But my intentions were to play this song when I visit you
Screaming up conversations everybody's trying to listen
But we only young and infatuated, sprung, in lust
I think I'm all the above two teenagers in love
I gave up them girls you gave up the club
I gave you everything you wanted just because
I was waiting for cupid to come shooting arrows through my heart
Now you wanna be apart
Watcha mean you finished
We only at the start and to leave when it girl we come oh so far
[Chorus]
Listen up pivit its to risky
I don't get it
I'm feeling dizzy
The rooms spinning
You've got to be kidding
My teenaged misses, you leave now my life is ended, my life is ended
Teenage love its a teenage love [Repeat x2]
Don't don't don't hurt me again
Its a teenage love love love love [Repeat x3]
Don't don't don't hurt me again
[Chorus]
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't don't don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
And we only teenagers but I do love you
But I think we gotta move on
Don't cry though
Listen this is teenage love baby
When I'm alone all I'm thinking about is my girl
You smile your pretty face' and them light brown curls
At first I was playing and saying cause love is a horrible thing
The way straight to it didn't hesitate
Wit any these Tyga my friends call me fly than yah
X-men head is flying
Being honest I am more than what you can find in cereal boxes
Be my goddess higher in this world
I could take your body
Probably being a man is not an option its a hobby
So you holding my hand is what other girls is watching
Picks up your prints in your locker
Put this lip gloss on and get the haters poppin lil mamma
[Chorus]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Don't don't don't hurt me again
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Teenage love [teenage love]
Don't don't don't hurt me again
You call up the studio

Don't hurt me again
Don't don't don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again

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/
