⁠⁠⁠Don't you know anything can get you down if you let it
Somedays more than others this is how I lived and learned to divide them
If you needed a friend I could lend some of my time to remind you

[Chorus]
Oh you dreamer every little place you go I go, I go
Oh you dreamer every little place you, I'm with you
Stop look around keep your head down and let the words stop it pass on by you
Words that are somewhere in told are cold if it's not fun then it's funny to show
With the advice like this what else could you want if a body need a body I know

[Chorus]
You dreamer every little place you go I go, I go
Dreamer every little place you go, I'm with you

Well I found heaven is a place on earth when you're around
Well I found heaven is a place on earth when you're around
Well I found heaven is a place on earth when you're around
Well I found heaven is a place on earth when you're around

    Wow noone commented yet. Firstly I really enjoy the music video with it's subtle aesthetics and charming irony. The meaning of lyrics seems easy to find, but as I'm not a native english speaker, I don't quite understand "Words that are somewhere in told are cold if it's not fun then it's funny to show" thing. Could anyone explain it?

    For me it seems that Courtney is telling about his way out from touchiness and thanks his spouse for learning that. Actually this is only my feelings, I like thinking about it this way.

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/
