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/
I've got my sight set on you
And I'm ready to aim
I have a heart that will never be tamed
I knew you were something special
When you spoke my name
Now I can't wait to see you again
I've got a way of knowing
When something is right
I feel like I must have known you in another life
'Cause I felt this deep connection
When you looked in my eyes
No, I can't wait to see you again
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinking 'bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
When all my friends said
"You're just being crazy"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart, it can't rest till then
Whoa, whoa, I, I can't wait to see you again
I got this crazy feeling deep inside
When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night
I'm not a mind reader
But I'm reading the signs
Now you can't wait to see me again
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinking 'bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
When all my friends said
"You're just being crazy"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart, it can't rest till then
Whoa, whoa, I, I can't wait to see you again
I've got my sight set on you
And I'm ready to aim
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinking 'bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
When all my friends said
"You're just being crazy"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart, it can't rest till then
Whoa, whoa, I, and I can't wait to see you again
And I'm ready to aim
I have a heart that will never be tamed
I knew you were something special

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Dude...better than the original...BC rules...
I like this song. Breathe Carolina has managed to make a Miley song bearable, HAHAHA.
I'm not sure about the "When all my friends said "Let's be crazy"" part though. Does anyone know for sure what it says? (:
on the recording on punk goes pop, it's "When all my friends said, You're just being crazy". if you listen really close, that's it.
but I saw them live the other day and they sang it "My best friend Kyle said, He's just being David" for fun.
haha either way. i love BC :]
LOVES OF MY LIFE.
SICKEST COVER EVERR(LLLLLLLLLLLL)
actually, i think it's
"when all my friends said you're just being crazy"
yeah, it's not "let's be crazy", its "when all my friends said "you're just being crazy""
SELF-EXPLANATORY (:
Breathe Carolina's version >>>>>>>>>>>> Miley Cyrus's version
