Even Mr. Lights-out feels alive at times
He says so baby
But even when he's not crash crashin our heads
He tries to scare us baby
And I'l pretend that I'm still one of them
So tell everyone that I'm still one of them

I am the things you talk in your sleep
But don't believe in, don't believe me

I've been headed for the window since I remember
And I've been kickin
I'll be hangin from the willow when I surrender
No more killin

I know every word but I won't speak for them
I love everyone but I can't fight for this
Just pretend

Everybody put your light on
Believe in somethings till your nothings turn out right
And then your nothings and your somethings get in fights

Everybody put your light on
Everybody in the street
Everybody put your light on
Everybody after me

(Indecipherable nonsensical jumbo)

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/
