Music: 'Just' in English

  Can you identify the meaning of 'just' in the following songs?

1) Bruno Mars - Just the Way you Are

Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know
When I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

2) Bill Withers - Just the two of us

I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I wanna spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

3) BENEE - Supalonely ft. Gus Dapperton (explicit)

I know I f*cked up I'm just a loser shouldn’t be with ya guess I’m a quitter 
while ur out there drinking I’m just here thinking bout where I should’ve been    

4) Jungle - Casio

Casio, playing on my heart just like a Casio
Breaking it apart so you can let it go
Wait another year that's not original, or cynical
Alright, let's go now
When all your dreams are gone
And you're still holding on
You waited far too long
Don't say
I know, you know it's over
Play it cool
I just want the keys back to my vehicle
They're just gonna tell you that it wasn't real
And I just wanna tell you this is how I feel
I know you feel
I know you feel it too

5) Carly Rey Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me, maybe

6) Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

7) Arcade Fire - Reflektor

I thought, I found a way to enter
It's just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor)
I thought, I found the connector
It's just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor)
