Don't want to see the sun before tomorrow
Annie's got to sleep, that's all I see
Anyone can stay but then who cares?
Who's got any time?
And I've got a cough and god bless you
It hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I speak
And it hurts when I talk
And it hurts when I breathe yeah
I haven't got a thing but what I'm wearing
Annie's got a dress, it's scarlet red
She's gonna set the candles round her bed
She's gonna light them all
Everything is silent when I'm gone
It hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I speak
And it hurts when I talk
And it hurts when I breathe yeah
Annie's gonna dream about tomorrow
And Annie's got a secret she can't keep
It's getting kinda late, it's dark outside
I want to say goodbye
Don't want to say goodbye so no one cares
It hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I speak
And it hurts when I talk
And it hurts when I breathe
And it hurts when I laugh
And it hurts when I speak
And it hurts when I talk
And it hurts when I breathe yeah
Mary says hi
Hello
Annie says hi
Hello hello
Ronnie says hi
Hello
Donna says hi
Hello
Jackie says hi
Hello
Johnny says hi
Hello hello hello hello hello
Hello hello hello hello hello

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
