This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Didn’t talk much through this
Can’t Say that I knew it
Gonna have to get used it
Stuck here in this mess
Now where’d that flame go
The one I used to know
Did it grow out of control
And burn you to the ground
Chorus
Now we know a lot about each other - double lower voice
But we don’t know nothin’ about fallin’ in love
When we say I ain’t talking to you
til you fix what you’ve done, now what you gonna do?
Now we lookin for some reasons
Trying to figure out what it was that we needed
Why don’t we just talk it through in the morning time
Do do do do
Now you’re looking for me
But you better get yourself some help
Cause how you supposed find me
When you’re still searchin’ for yourself
Chorus
Bridge:
How do we love? (3Xs)
And Why do we love?
Chorus
Can’t Say that I knew it
Gonna have to get used it
Stuck here in this mess
Now where’d that flame go
The one I used to know
Did it grow out of control
And burn you to the ground
Chorus
Now we know a lot about each other - double lower voice
But we don’t know nothin’ about fallin’ in love
When we say I ain’t talking to you
til you fix what you’ve done, now what you gonna do?
Now we lookin for some reasons
Trying to figure out what it was that we needed
Why don’t we just talk it through in the morning time
Do do do do
Now you’re looking for me
But you better get yourself some help
Cause how you supposed find me
When you’re still searchin’ for yourself
Chorus
Bridge:
How do we love? (3Xs)
And Why do we love?
Chorus

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/
