The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Que tristeza me traigo por dentro, que no calma ni el vino ni nada
Voy sufriendo y no encuentro el remedio pa' curar lo que traigo en el alma
Tu recuerdo me tiene en cadenas, y tu engaño me trae mal herido
Porque tú te burlaste en mi cara, mientras yo era sincero contigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido
Yo no sé por qué tuve esta suerte, de encontrarte ese día en mi camino
Ni por qué fui a caer en tus brazos, a entregarte mi amor y mi cariño
Si en verdad tú no vales la pena y de amores nunca has entendido
Quiera Dios que en la vida tú pagues, las maldades que has hecho conmigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido
Voy sufriendo y no encuentro el remedio pa' curar lo que traigo en el alma
Tu recuerdo me tiene en cadenas, y tu engaño me trae mal herido
Porque tú te burlaste en mi cara, mientras yo era sincero contigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido
Yo no sé por qué tuve esta suerte, de encontrarte ese día en mi camino
Ni por qué fui a caer en tus brazos, a entregarte mi amor y mi cariño
Si en verdad tú no vales la pena y de amores nunca has entendido
Quiera Dios que en la vida tú pagues, las maldades que has hecho conmigo
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Hoy mi vida la traigo amargada
Me pagaste con la peor moneda
Te entregaste a otro cuando más te amaba
Por tu culpa, nomas por tu culpa
Ya mi barca perdió su destino
Tu retrato maldigo entre copas
Y ahogo tu recuerdo en el mar de mi olvido

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/
