The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Hold my hand let's chase the sun
We both know something's begun
Nothin' feels that real without you
Wanna learn so much about you
Shining star I've seen your face
Everything falls into place
Nothing else seems to matter
You bring me to life
Feels so lonely
Won't you show me
Where I need to be?
You bring me to life (bring me to life)
Feels like the raindrops on my skin
You reach me somewhere deep within
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
I whisper things you never knew
I can't believe that tonight I'm here with you
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
See it burning in my eyes
Don't want words
Don't want the lies
They say more than what is spoken
Promises always get broken (broken)
Feels so lonely
Won't you show me?
Where I need to be
You bring me to life
Feels like the raindrops on my skin
You reach me somewhere deep within
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
Feels like the raindrops on my skin
You reach me somewhere deep within
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
We both know something's begun
Nothin' feels that real without you
Wanna learn so much about you
Shining star I've seen your face
Everything falls into place
Nothing else seems to matter
You bring me to life
Feels so lonely
Won't you show me
Where I need to be?
You bring me to life (bring me to life)
Feels like the raindrops on my skin
You reach me somewhere deep within
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
I whisper things you never knew
I can't believe that tonight I'm here with you
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
See it burning in my eyes
Don't want words
Don't want the lies
They say more than what is spoken
Promises always get broken (broken)
Feels so lonely
Won't you show me?
Where I need to be
You bring me to life
Feels like the raindrops on my skin
You reach me somewhere deep within
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life
Feels like the raindrops on my skin
You reach me somewhere deep within
You make my body come alive
You bring me to life

Just A Little Lovin'
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.
not my type of music normally, but it's fun and unsettlingly catchy.
Those lyrics are totally wrong, they go like this:
