We've passed the point of no return
How can we make amends
All alone I watch the candle burn
Burning at both ends
Nothin's ever gonna change
Can tears wash away this pain

Tears in the rain
Here it comes again
I'll never know the reason why
I cry these tears in the rain (rain)

The time has come to make a stand
We've waited much too long
Nobody's gonna lead us by the hand
How could we be so wrong
We lost the chance to the play this game
Can tears wash away this pain

Tears in the rain
Here it comes again
I'll never know the reason why
I cry these tears in the rain

So many times, I've wondered why
We still play this game

Tears in the rain
Here it comes again
I'll never know the reason why
I cry these tears in the rain

Tears in the rain
Here it comes again
Oh, I'll never know the reason why
I cry these tears in the rain

Rain, tears in the rain
(Tears in the rain)
I've been cryin' now
Cryin' now
Cryin' tears in the rain
(Tears in the rain)
I've been cryin' baby
I wonder why I cry
Ohhh, I'll never know the reason why
(Tears in the rain)
I wonder why I cry these tears
(Tears in the rain)
Cryin...

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/

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.
