In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
It doesn't matter whether sun is here or sun is gone
It doesn't matter where my rose is
It doesn't matter whether rain is here or rain is gone
It doesn't matter where my rose is
It doesn't matter where my rose is
So long as it's safe and warm
It doesn't matter where my rose is
So long as it's in, this is my ending heart
It doesn't matter whether if it's spring or if it's fall
It doesn't matter where my rose are
It doesn't matter whether I am glad or I am small
It doesn't matter where rose are
It doesn't matter where my rows are
So long as it's safe and warm
It doesn't matter where my rows are
So long as it's in, this is my ending heart
Oh and it's me that you might sway
Oh and it's me that my precious love will fade
Oh and it's me that you might sway
Something is eating me, something is eating me, something is eating me
Something is eating me, something is eating me, something is eating me
Something is eating me
Something is eating me
Something is eating me, something is eating me, something is eating me
It doesn't matter where my rose is
It doesn't matter whether rain is here or rain is gone
It doesn't matter where my rose is
It doesn't matter where my rose is
So long as it's safe and warm
It doesn't matter where my rose is
So long as it's in, this is my ending heart
It doesn't matter whether if it's spring or if it's fall
It doesn't matter where my rose are
It doesn't matter whether I am glad or I am small
It doesn't matter where rose are
It doesn't matter where my rows are
So long as it's safe and warm
It doesn't matter where my rows are
So long as it's in, this is my ending heart
Oh and it's me that you might sway
Oh and it's me that my precious love will fade
Oh and it's me that you might sway
Something is eating me, something is eating me, something is eating me
Something is eating me, something is eating me, something is eating me
Something is eating me
Something is eating me
Something is eating me, something is eating me, something is eating me

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/
