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"
I feel the darkness coming over me
Feel me falling into scary places, such a sight to see
I'm breakin out of my mental cages - nothing else can hold me
Even the pills the doctors gave me have the slightest control over me
I've got those thoughts again, the ones they said were dangerous
Scratching through my flesh, I cry and put up another plan for us
I'm getting out of here, it's time to get a move on
Time to break the bottle, let me out, it's time to get my groove on
Yeah yeah we get the groove on
See you can never stop us
We're top-notch, Rated R
Veterans and what not
Don't get the rules fuck up when you're engaged kid
Make them vaporize & dissapear without a trace
Shit, you don't wanna see me let the beast out the cage
You're lonely rages inside and the night's bigger than Jason's
So take your friends to a cottage on a silent hill
You can go psychotic it's just you & your violent kills
Here they come again, the demons in my mind
I scream & shout my lungs out that the people passing by
Go on, get out of here, you don't know what you're dealing with
I will crush your soul & tear you up, you mother fucking piece of shit!
But they don't listen & it's out of my hands
Cause I have no say to what I do the demon demands
You are the lucky one, the other one I've chosen
Now you leave this earth in torment, your boddy battered up and broken
Crack their skull open, see the pavement drenching in BLOOD
And Leave a fucken mess for the forensics team
Can't you sense it I'm contempted to satisfy
Everytime we take a life & end it, I grow inside
I can't help it, I was told to master genocide
Take these precious people to my car, take em for a ride
Hiding in the darkness, drowning at my own scream
I pray to God that one day that I'll wake up from this death dream
Kill Frenzy x4

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/
