I Just Can't Help It

Washboard Sam

I woke up this mo'nin
Feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the good times
I once have had

Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Man, just sho' as you born

Now, there ain't but one thing
Grievin' my mind
All of these women's
An ain't none of 'em mine

Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Man, just sho' as you born

(sax & instrumental)

Yas, yas

I hittin' my woman
With a single tree
You might-a heard her holl'in
'Daddy, don't murder me'

Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it

Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born

Now, my mama told me
Papa told me, too
'These girls you lovin'
Gon' be the death of you'

Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it

Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born

(piano & instrumental)

'Let's help it now, boy'

'Yas, yas'

I went home last night
Fell down 'cross my bed
I was in such a fix
Ev'rybody thought I was dead

Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it

Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
