Louise, she just wasn't thinking
When she climbed into his bed
She only wanted to lie beside him
To hell with his best friend
She woke him up and she whispered
But the answer wasn't good
Whatever made you think I would ever love you
Even if I could?
Louise, Louise
You can't be anybody's friend
Louise, Louise
I'll love you 'til I'm dead
Louise, Louise
Not even if she likes the way you dance
Louise never heard about puppy love
Cuz they don't know that term in France
She came from across the country
Just to stare into her phone
She came to the same apartment
She only wanted to be left alone
And she could catch anybody's attention
But it never won her friends
Love could kick you out on the streets
But it never paid your rent
Louise, Louise
You can't be anybody's friend
Louise, Louise
I'll love you 'til I'm dead
Louise, Louise
Not even if she likes the way you dance
Louise never heard about puppy love
Cuz they don't know that term in France

    Song Meaning

    The lead singer sometimes explains the story behind Louise before he plays it. Its based off real people he met and it centres around a French model who is caught in a love triangle with two photographers. She quickly finds out that neither of them love her, oblivious to the fact because "Louise never learned about puppy love, cause they don't know that term in France" and "she could catch anybody's attention but it never won her friends".

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/

Page

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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
