This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The smoke smell clings to sweat-soaked jeans
Once you spoke well, now you lean and sway
And the day dies, unfulfilled, unseen
As you search for something true to say
These undone things like strings holding me down
Wires 'round a champagne cork
Oh come on unsung singer, shake your wings
The world's all ears and you're not talking
Speak up, speak up
Cus' there could be some truth in the things you say
Speak up, speak up
And show us all the gold underneath the grey
Where's the colour?
Does what you see in me agree with
What you want and where you are
D'you want a troubled soul to save you
Crave an image to worship from afar
So hold back, hold back
The fear, the facts
The in-box stacked with angry numbers
The world attacks
And the ink is on your hands
Compress the stress you're under
Speak up, speak up
Cus' there could be some truth in the things you say
Speak up, speak up
And show us all the gold underneath the grey
(Hear) the gilded horns say:
Speak up, speak up
Cus' there could be some truth in the things you say
Speak up, speak up
And show us all the gold underneath the grey
Where's the colour?
Once you spoke well, now you lean and sway
And the day dies, unfulfilled, unseen
As you search for something true to say
These undone things like strings holding me down
Wires 'round a champagne cork
Oh come on unsung singer, shake your wings
The world's all ears and you're not talking
Speak up, speak up
Cus' there could be some truth in the things you say
Speak up, speak up
And show us all the gold underneath the grey
Where's the colour?
Does what you see in me agree with
What you want and where you are
D'you want a troubled soul to save you
Crave an image to worship from afar
So hold back, hold back
The fear, the facts
The in-box stacked with angry numbers
The world attacks
And the ink is on your hands
Compress the stress you're under
Speak up, speak up
Cus' there could be some truth in the things you say
Speak up, speak up
And show us all the gold underneath the grey
(Hear) the gilded horns say:
Speak up, speak up
Cus' there could be some truth in the things you say
Speak up, speak up
And show us all the gold underneath the grey
Where's the colour?

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/
