This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
He had a cheap guitar
And he wrote this tune
It goes: "Somebody
Owes me something,
It might as well be you"
Hey now
You're gonna get
Your blood sucked out
He had a dirty mind
And sent this note
It said: "We're gonna get
Some money for nothing,
On every song you wrote"
Hey now
You're gonna get
Your blood sucked out
You were sent
From the devil himself
To me (yeah)
And I'll see you in hell
Before we're through
'Cause I got nothing to
Prove to you
He had a crooked eye
With a sideways glance
And thought: "I'll catch
You in some twisted logic
And then I'll watch you dance"
Hey now
You're gonna get
Your blood sucked out
Six billion people
Six billion ways (to do)
Six billion kinds of damage
That all feel the same
Hey now
You're gonna get
Your blood sucked out
You were sent
From the devil himself
To me (yeah)
And I'll see you in hell
Before we're through
'Cause I got nothing to prove
You're gonna get
Your blood sucked out
Your blood sucked out
And he wrote this tune
It goes: "Somebody
Owes me something,
It might as well be you"
Hey now
You're gonna get

Just A Little Lovin'

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.
Record industry?
So I wrote these lyrics down after watching the brand new video for this song. It's from their yet-to-be released album "Get Yr Blood Sucked Out", due out Sept. 12th. I hope that they're all correct..I'm pretty confident. If anyone wants to see the video for this song, here's the address:
