By the look on your face you've been awake all night
It started raining the early light
You're fooling the mirror but you don't fool me
Adrift in your own sympathy

Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark
Alone deep in the dark of your devotion
Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion

You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl

Now you're drunk in the dream of your life as dirt
It might last forever, and that really hurts
And I still hope you're gonna realize
There's only one kind of happy in that glass of wine

Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark
Alone deep in the dark of your devotion
Let go of the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion

You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl

That's you falling apart, for so long in the dark
So long deep in the heart of your devotion
Let go the love that he stole, let go y'got to let go
To get back in control of your emotion

You can make it through tomorrow
Set free your butterfly girl
And when you rise above the sorrow
You'll be a butterfly girl
You can fly, yeah, yeah
Set free your butterfly girl
You'll go high, yeah, yeah
You'll be a butterfly girl
Set free your butterfly girl
Set free your butterfly girl

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”

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/
