Uh, Britt
Crae
Ready
Or not
Yeah
Let's go!
I tried to cover my shine
I've tried staying in the lines
I, I, I don't wanna hide
No, not tonight
You, you, you want me to take my light, light
Fit it in your box, right? I want
you to look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye
Ready or not
Here, here, here, here I come
I'm about to show you where the light comes from oh oh
ready or not, here, here I come
This is who I am, I won't hide it
I'mma take it all over the world
To the young, to the old, every boy and girl
Ready or not, here, here I come
I'mma show the world where the love is
I'm not ever selling out
A love out loud is what it's all about
Giving everything to see the lost get found
Yeah, it's going down
You, you, you want me to take my light, light
Fit it in your box, right? I want
you to look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye
Ready or not
Here, here, here, here I come
I'm about to show you where the light comes from oh oh
ready or not, here, here I come
This is who I am, I won't hide it
I'mma take it all over the world
To the young, to the old, every boy and girl
Ready or not, here, here I come
I'mma show the world where the love is
I refuse to keep this buried deep inside of me
Yeah this little light of mine, it's time to let it shine a bit
'Cause there's no point in hiding it, it's everything I am
The source of all my hope and it's the reason why I stand
And I pledge allegiance to be somebody real
There's no more holding it back, I'm showing them how I feel
'Cause love is more than a word it's a noun, and a verb
and hiding it is absurd
Ya heard
Ready or not
Here, here, here, here I come
I'm about to show you where the light comes from oh oh
ready or not, here, here I come
This is who I am, I won't hide it

To the young, to the old, every boy and girl
Ready or not, here, here I come
I'mma show the world where the love is
Ready or not

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
It's about showing the world the light and love you have through Jesus
