This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He came from Ohio
Married the first girl again
And somewhere in Reno
In his El Camino he never did see her again
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close
To the swinging door
One time's a shame
Two time and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
The Third Time Around
This ain't no freeway
You pay for it someday I guess
He came from Ohio
Another day another stain on your map of regret
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close to the swinging door
And you get no sleep and you're overdue
The faithful creep when they're leaving you
And you wonder why
One time's a shame
Two time and it looks like rain
And they say your luck is found
The Third Time Around
Married the first girl again
And somewhere in Reno
In his El Camino he never did see her again
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close
To the swinging door
One time's a shame
Two time and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
The Third Time Around
This ain't no freeway
You pay for it someday I guess
He came from Ohio
Another day another stain on your map of regret
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close to the swinging door
And you get no sleep and you're overdue
The faithful creep when they're leaving you
And you wonder why
One time's a shame
Two time and it looks like rain
And they say your luck is found
The Third Time Around

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
He's talking about how nothing can go back when it has been destroyed.
