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"
-Mission Pimpossible-
It was a monday, about a week before X-mas.
packed a bowl of evergreen in the spleen of Scarlet,
she ain't no mother fuckin harlot. No botch can touch her
she only purrs when I got it.
Pupils wide when I breathe in this earth
it's the fighting, clawing, biting, pawing
for what it's really worth. "Fuck man, I got I'm all out of Cap'n Crunchies."
"damn boy, I got the motha fucking munchies."
We went to get some food, we met some honeys
you might think it's pretty cool but we spent all our money
on some whack ass shit that they wanted to get
but I said fuck it though, cause it's worth it.
The girlies was askin what we're gonna do
I told em I don't really care as long as I'm with you
One of em said why don't we dip and go
Dash over here said, "Yeah but I'm hungry though. Bitch!"
Just then they told us they ain't havin it
they said if you're gonna do that shit, we're gonna dip
we got places to, and people to see, and in case you don't get it
time is money
Every one minute is another dollar spent
so inconsistently consistent
God.... mama mia
to hell with dollar bills I pay with Sacagawea!
So we said ( what'd we say?) Fuck then trick ass bitches
with their shik shown and their trickses
we continued our quest but that ain't even the rest
so just chill right there lemme tell you what up
we got in a predicament involving a duck!
You might think it's crazy but i think it's sane
everybody called him Jimmy but Milton was his name
he told us if we do some shit for him we'd get some food
i said to him, "buddy, i ain't in the mood."
right there he dropped on his knees and started to beg
i looked over at Will as he popped him in the head
we dipped out on that fool, we continued on our journey
damn man it's already morning
By this time it is morning
I'm horny and it's boring
my stomach is storming
in the air it is pouring
what did we do? we lit it up
to get so calm we're like embalmers
naturally spittin this shit like it was never wrong
We came, we saw, I even brought my lucky rabbit paw
the sun sets in the south
just want some food in my mouth but not a penis
don't want no cock in my mouth
cause why? Cause I am not a homosexual
IF THEY COME...
THEY'LL BURN,
WE'LL BUILD.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
