Hey hey, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move when my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh, it was sweet, it was wild, and oh how we
I trembled, stuck in honey
Honey, cling to me

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Oh, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
To never go home

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

    This is one of those wonderful understated songs by the Cure - a few lines which say so much and spark off the imagination. You can almost imagine the scene - a dusk filled with foreboding, the sunset streaking the sky with red as clouds roll in, and the tormented soul pacing the streets trying to work out what he should do...sometimes you just don't want to go home...things there are too uncomfortable; maybe it feels like a prison, maybe it tempts you into self-destructive behaviour, maybe you just need the courage not to go back there again...you are sick of home (hence "the homesick")

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/
