My head can't recall what the sight was like
Was I all 20 something doom and gloom
When I came out of your womb and did you spank and shake
My little eyes awake like my anxiety will do
The bar flies can't kick it after two
And me I'm stuck on gunk paper my world just gets smaller
And that's why no one can find me

Sit up and stand tall but my legs give out and I withdraw
And my apartment walls can tell stranger tales
Than anything I've been through at all
Except when I tumbled down the 15
Now I'm kickin' nickels in the pan-hands
Hoping that shit comes right back to me

And the pursuit's the only thing that I have

Oh yeah ain't it grand to be bland in an unavoidable
Yet a probable pin-drop of a chance
No one can find me here

That's why I have a tendency to go and run my mouth
Cause I can't depend on no one else
I've got my living costs and a bumper sticker that reads
"All who wander are not lost"
Screw aligned planets and star belts
Man, I can't depend on no one else

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/
