I disappointed you
By sayin' things I never meant to say
Now after all this time
You say you wanna throw our love away

Let's pack our troubles off to bed
Forget those awful things we said
We'll try to sleep instead
We can talk it over in the mornin'

Without you by my side
The sun might never rise
Butterflies and bees might give up flyin'

Without your lovin' touch
The world won't be the same
All the birds that sing
Might end up cryin'

I think I've seen the light
Adn baby I admit that I was wrong
You know what's best for me
Your lovin' has a way that makes me strong

That kind of magic can't be taught
This kind of lovin' can't be bought
Just save the dream and babe, we ought to
Talk it over in the morning

Without you by my side
The sun might fail to rise
Butterflies and bees might give up flyin'

Without your lovin' touch
The world won't be the same
All the birds that sing
Might end up cryin'

Without you by my side
The sun might fail to rise
Butterflies and bees might give up flyin'

Without your lovin' touch
The world won't be the same
All the birds that sing
Might end up cryin'

    Although I am pretty sure a man wrote this song, Anne Murray wears it well. It's a classic "don't leave me baby, I'm sorry" tune, written post-argument, pre-bed, where the man (Anne's narrator) has realized he pushed the woman too far and now the woman wants out of the relationship.

    The male narrator disingenuously begins using nature as an allegory, pleading the woman to stay, warning her that if she leaves him, the world will spin awry.

    Funny, seems he should have thought about that before saying the words that hurt her. Also, notice how he is the one who initially said the cruel words ending this relationship - but once he starts pleading for the woman to stay, they "both" apparently said some. If you've ever been in an abusive relationship, you'll recognize these lyrics. Stay away from anyone who tells you them in prose.

    I just dumped a guy who tried these lyrics on me.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/
