[Verse 1]
This time she's really out my life, oh
I know I gotta get her back
Just need one night to hit it right
But I can't get her alone, no
Know she deserves to up and leave
If it was me I'd do the same
I see that girl, know that she hopes
So I'll be damned to let it go, damned to let it go
[Chorus]
I discover, discover I love her
Oh, I gotta get her back, oh
I discover, discover that I love her
Ooh, that would get her back
[Verse 2]
I'm guessing this is where it ends (You don't even pick up for a nigga)
I know she's calling all her friends (And they don't like me, fuck y'all bitches)
They probably tryna take her out (All up in the VIP so they can take a picture)
And tryna find her ass a man, shit, make a nigga mad
Cause she know I'm hurting, she know that I'm hurting
Yeah she know I care, she know that I care
I can't understand, know I treat you bad
But you don't get me back like that, no, no
Oh, oh, I gotta get my baby, girl don't leave me
All this crazy shit that you been dealing with it, you probably hate me, hey
Cause baby if you cheated, I couldn't handle that
To know that another nigga is making you smile like
[Chorus]
I discover, discover I love her
Oh, I gotta get her back, woah yeah
I discover, discover that I love her
Ooh, that would get her back
[Bridge]
I can't breathe, yeah
Can't breathe, can't breathe, yeah
Girl let me breathe again, breathe again
Let me breathe again, oh
I can't breath, can't sleep
Can't dream, so weak, girl
Gotta get you back, gotta get you back
Can't think, oh gee
[Chorus]
I discover, discover I love her
Oh, I gotta get her back, oh
I discover, discover that I love her
Ooh, that would get her back
[Outro]
Get you back oh, get you back oh
Can't think girl, oh gee oh, gee oh
This time she's really out my life, oh
I know I gotta get her back
Just need one night to hit it right
But I can't get her alone, no
Know she deserves to up and leave
If it was me I'd do the same
I see that girl, know that she hopes
So I'll be damned to let it go, damned to let it go
[Chorus]
I discover, discover I love her
Oh, I gotta get her back, oh
I discover, discover that I love her
Ooh, that would get her back

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/

Plastic Bag

“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.
