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/
Maybe its crazy when you let it begin
It's all you ever want, all you want to start
And then they tire you, you want to throw it away
Still everything I bleed, bleed because its
All of me, and I believe it still,
It was written in a letter to me.
And bleed to sign my name and then
I'll send it in a letter, send it in a letter to me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
Maybe it's crazy and maybe even I'll fall,
But if I fall, then I will bleed and you'll see it's all of me
But then they tire you, you want to throw it away.
Still everything I bleed, bleed because
All of me, and I believe it still,
It was written in a letter to me.
And bleed to sign my name and then
I'll send it in a letter, send it in a letter to me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
You'll never see me walk away,
All I have is all I need,
So stencil me and watch me bleed.
They've stenciled out the world and then colored it in as more,
So stencil me, and watch me bleed,
All I have is all I need,
So stencil me, and watch me bleed.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
It's all you ever want, all you want to start
And then they tire you, you want to throw it away
Still everything I bleed, bleed because its
All of me, and I believe it still,
It was written in a letter to me.
And bleed to sign my name and then
I'll send it in a letter, send it in a letter to me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
Maybe it's crazy and maybe even I'll fall,
But if I fall, then I will bleed and you'll see it's all of me
But then they tire you, you want to throw it away.
Still everything I bleed, bleed because
All of me, and I believe it still,
It was written in a letter to me.
And bleed to sign my name and then
I'll send it in a letter, send it in a letter to me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
You'll never see me walk away,
All I have is all I need,
So stencil me and watch me bleed.
They've stenciled out the world and then colored it in as more,
So stencil me, and watch me bleed,
All I have is all I need,
So stencil me, and watch me bleed.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.
I'll be the one, be the one they take,
And I'll be the one they try to break,
And I've just begun, just begun now
And I'm not a lot but you can have all of me.

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.
This song is aweeesome. Watashi Wa is gunna be huge I can't wait for them to get big. This song is about somebody being true to himself and giving it his all even though people are gunna try and break him and he keeps fighting. Great song.
