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 got seven hours, baby
So what ya want to do?
(Ooh, I want to melt with you)
(Ooh, I want to melt with you)
This is safe sex (ooh, I want to melt with you)
New Power Generation style
A funky little story about you and me (ooh, I want to melt with you)
Getting busy for awhile
From the tip of my typhoon (ooh, I want to melt with you)
To the bottom of your ankle chains
We gonna shake and shake and shake
Until we're both deranged
With endorphins
This is the ultimate rave
Ooh, I want to melt with you
S to the S
Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough to stick
And I'll melt with you
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves
I want to melt with you, yeah
Don't look now, but there's a river of blood
You must have been a virgin
What am I guilty of? Oh no (oh no)
Are you afraid? Then take me to the next phase
Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough to stick (oh yeah)
And I'll melt with you (melting)
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves
I want to melt with you, yeah (hit me)
I'm thinkin' about the quivery ocean (ooh, I want to melt with you)
And drippin' all over your every motion
And thinkin' about the way that you kiss (I want to melt with you)
I'm thinkin' about some of this
And I'm thinkin' about some of that
And then my backbone slips (I want to melt with you)
And then my lips just drip
And then the hips (I want to melt with you)
Just whip
And whip and, ah, ow (I want to melt with you)
Uh, yeah, do that baby
Uh, yeah, do that baby
Uh, yeah, do that baby, uh, just like a dog
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with you)
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with you)
Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven)
I want to melt with you
And I'll melt with you
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove
Until the earth moves (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven)
(Ooh)
(Ow)
Melting, melting, melting
Slow and slippery, groovy
If we bathe in each other's hips
In other words, get close enough to stick
And I'll melt with you
And you can melt with me to
And we'll groove and groove until the earth moves

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.
