This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Well, I don't know where they come from, but they sure do come
I hope they're comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it, but they sure do it good
I hope they're doin' it for free
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Well, the first time that I got it I was just 10 years old
I got it from some pussy next door
I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
I think I wanted some more
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got it bad, scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
It's nothing dangerous, I feel no pain - I've got to change
You know you got it when you're goin' insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry - Oh, won't you make my bed?
Well, I make a pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they're gettin' it from me
And they know just where to go when they need their lovin' man
They know I'm doin' it for free
I give 'em cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They got it bad, scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I hope they're comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it, but they sure do it good
I hope they're doin' it for free
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Well, the first time that I got it I was just 10 years old
I got it from some pussy next door
I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
I think I wanted some more
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got it bad, scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
It's nothing dangerous, I feel no pain - I've got to change
You know you got it when you're goin' insane
It makes a grown man cry, cry - Oh, won't you make my bed?
Well, I make a pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they're gettin' it from me
And they know just where to go when they need their lovin' man
They know I'm doin' it for free
I give 'em cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They got it bad, scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

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/
