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.

Still beauty
Colourful
These blossoms are up for bloom
I can't promise
'Cause just like hearts
They get broken
But I'll try my hardest
Even if you're rich
(Even if you're poor)
(Every breath you breathe I'll be there for you)
Even if you're strong
Even if you're not
Every breath you breathe I'll be there
Angelic
Little princess
I wanna wake up
To your face every morning
Another love song
A silly love song
But it's our song
It's forever
Even if you're rich
Even if you're poor
Every breath you breathe I'll be there for you
Even if you're strong
Even if you're not
Every breath you breathe I'll be there for you
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever

Even if you're poor
Every breath you breathe I'll be there for you

Every breath you breathe I'll be there for you

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/

I'll be there for you Cristabel
the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. A guy loves a girl and always will no matter what obstacles may cross his path and he will always be there for her. Clear, simple and beautifully written.
