This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Hello, my love
Wish you were here
So many things in my heart that I'd like to share
A few warm thoughts, a subtle smile
Our conversation through silence could last all night
At ease my mind to see your face
Those sexy eyes could calm a heart of rage
You speak my name, I touch your
The chemistry only true love could understand
You've opened my soul to happiness
And shown me new ways of love
Smooth is life's travels with you beside me
I'll never walk alone
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
You give a few
All you can give
You've taught me love, laugh
You taught me to live
At rainbow's end
That pot of gold
Can't hold a light to you
'Cause you're my heart and soul
Such passionate love, the love we make
In tune, our bodies are one
When loving's done, the passion's still strong
'Cause spiritually we are one
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When I, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
Such passionate love, the love we make
In tune, our bodies are one
When loving's done, the passion's still strong
'Cause spiritually we are as one
Can't get enough of you
Baby, when we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
I can't get enough of you
When I, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Hello, my love
Wish you were here
So many things in my heart that I'd like to share
A few warm thoughts, a subtle smile
Our conversation through silence could last all night
At ease my mind to see your face
Those sexy eyes could calm a heart of rage
You speak my name, I touch your
The chemistry only true love could understand
You've opened my soul to happiness
And shown me new ways of love
Smooth is life's travels with you beside me
I'll never walk alone
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
You give a few
All you can give
You've taught me love, laugh
You taught me to live
At rainbow's end
That pot of gold
Can't hold a light to you
'Cause you're my heart and soul
Such passionate love, the love we make
In tune, our bodies are one
When loving's done, the passion's still strong
'Cause spiritually we are one
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When I, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
Such passionate love, the love we make
In tune, our bodies are one
When loving's done, the passion's still strong
'Cause spiritually we are as one
Can't get enough of you
Baby, when we, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
I can't get enough of you
When I, ooh
Can't get enough of you
When we, ooh
Can't get enough of you

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/

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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
