Well, I couldn’t get a date in high school
Couldn’t get a date before
Couldn’t get a date, can’t get a date, I’m heading back out the door
Couldn’t get a date in college
Couldn’t get a date in sites
Couldn’t get a date, can’t get a date, but that don’t mean I won’t lie

Poor old lonesome me
Said I’m so lonely, can’t you see
Poor old lonesome me
Said I’m so lonely, let me be

Couldn’t get a date in Pittsburgh
Couldn’t get a date in Spain
Couldn’t get a date, can’t get a date
I’m starting back over again
Couldn’t get a date with Mary
Couldn’t get a date with Tess
Couldn’t get a date, can’t get a date
I guess I’m such a mess

Poor old lonesome me
Said I’m so lonely, can’t you see
Poor old lonesome me
Said I’m so lonely, let me be

Well, I couldn’t get a date with Yolanda
Couldn’t get a date with Sue
Couldn’t get a date, wouldn’ta got a date
Couldn’t get a date with you (no way!)
Couldn’t get a date with a hygienist
Couldn’t get a date with a nurse
Couldn’t get a date with a little old lady
I ducked around and took her purse

Poor old lonesome me
Said I’m so lonely, can’t you see
Poor old lonesome me
Said I’m so lonely, let me be
Said I’m so lonely, can’t you see
Said I’m so lonely, let me be

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
