We wake up and we're together
I wanna be with you all day
But you get dressed and go to work
Capitalism takes you away
I think about you while we're apart
Maybe when you get home, we'll sing
But when you arrive after a long day, you're too tired to do anything
I feel very happy we ever met
But I hate the system that will not let
The two of us be together
To enjoy all types of weather
The job you have isn't necessary
You get paid to do things that are scary
But we have bills to pay, so off you go
When will the system end?
I do not know

Capitalism no more
Chasing dollars is a bore
Capitalism no more
It's not what we're here for
Capitalism no more
I don't wanna shop in that store
Capitalism no more
It's rotten to the core

We wake up and we're together
I wanna be with you all day
Finally, we can do just that
We live in a shareocracy
We spend our days doing what we want
And we get a lot of pleasure
Volunteering at free community meals
Feeding people is a wonderful treasure
We help our fellow beings get their needs met
All jobs are done by volunteers
A moneyless world is here at last
When we cry, they are happy tears
Finally, all beings are free
We can be together, be happy
Capitalism kept us apart, but not anymore
We're united; that makes my heart soar

Capitalism no more
Chasing dollars is a bore
Capitalism no more
It's not what we're here for
Capitalism no more
I don't wanna shop in that store
Capitalism no more
It's rotten to the core

Capitalism no more
Chasing dollars is a bore
Capitalism no more
It's not what we're here for
Capitalism no more
I don't wanna shop in that store
Capitalism no more
It's rotten to the core

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
