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.
And a good man is hard to find
You always get the other kind
Just when you think that he is your pal
You look for him and find him
Fooling 'round some other girl
Then you rave
You even pray to see him
Laying in his grave
So if your man is nice
Take my advice
And hug him in the morning
Kiss him every night
Give him plenty lovin'
Treat him right
'Cause a good man nowadays
Is hard to find
You know girls
As you play the game of love
You put your heart on the spin of the dice
And when the dealer turns up the Jack of spades
Let the chips fall where they may
You pay the price
Yes girls
But a woman's gotta keep in mind
Even if she's the queen of hearts
He may discard her
And though the next good man is mighty hard to find
Remember girls?
A good woman is even harder!
Some of these days
You'll miss me honey
Some of these days
You're gonna feel so lonely
You'll miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You'll miss me honey
When you go away
I feel so lonely
For you only
And you know honey
That you had your way
So when you leave me
You know it will grieve me
You'll miss your red, hot mama
Some of these days
You'll miss my huggin' in the morning
Kissin' at night
You're never gonna find no other girl
Who can treat you so right
You'll miss your mama, papa,
Some of these days
You always get the other kind
Just when you think that he is your pal
You look for him and find him
Fooling 'round some other girl
Then you rave
You even pray to see him
Laying in his grave
So if your man is nice
Take my advice
And hug him in the morning
Kiss him every night
Give him plenty lovin'
Treat him right
'Cause a good man nowadays
Is hard to find
You know girls
As you play the game of love
You put your heart on the spin of the dice
And when the dealer turns up the Jack of spades
Let the chips fall where they may
You pay the price
Yes girls
But a woman's gotta keep in mind
Even if she's the queen of hearts
He may discard her
And though the next good man is mighty hard to find
Remember girls?
A good woman is even harder!
Some of these days
You'll miss me honey
Some of these days
You're gonna feel so lonely
You'll miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You'll miss me honey
When you go away
I feel so lonely
For you only
And you know honey
That you had your way
So when you leave me
You know it will grieve me
You'll miss your red, hot mama
Some of these days
You'll miss my huggin' in the morning
Kissin' at night
You're never gonna find no other girl
Who can treat you so right
You'll miss your mama, papa,
Some of these days

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
