This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Never a flaw
A different kind of high
You know
Feel me on this, huh, uh, uh
Ladies and gents, your dopest host presents
Extravagance in the lady frame
Leavin' cum stains, niggas remain in awe
When I brought a Derringer, throw it to your jaw, uh
Never a flaw
Never before have you seen such magnificence in the black princess, yes
Flow's phenom, I'm the bomb-diggity, ask Biggie
Keep a dedicated squad with me, call us the Gabbana girls
We dangerous, bitches pay a fee just to hang with us
Trust, niggas lust
Without a bank account, I doubt we could swing that route
Feel me out, uh, I'm used to
Hangin' with boosters in the best name brand with the insane clan
Man, listen
My position is lieutenant
Like a block of hash, got the burners up in it, percent it
I send it back to your greasy
Freak it Arabic style, Sharmoota elhas teeze
To please me you got to be well off
Bust a shell off with a tattoo that starts off, uh
Damn, ma, I love you like the lah, the ganja
Sensimilla, can I feel you?
All I wanna do is touch you
The ultimate rush, you're drugs, baby
Damn, ma, I love you like the lah, the ganja
Sensimilla, can I feel you?
All I wanna do is touch you
The ultimate rush, you're drugs, baby (uh)
To my niggas that trick a little
To my bitches that suck dick a little
While they niggas lick the middle
I'm the Don, y'all
High driven Jean-Paul Gaultier wear
Yeah, enough glorifying, lyrically electrifying
Bitches be lying 'bout the clothes they be buying
Some stores won't even let you whores in
'Til I begin to embarrass that ass and get crass
Kim surpass all crews
Bitches still drinking booze, I sip Cristal and Landcruise'
Receive all the "Ooh's" and the "Ah's", the jewels and the cars
Slick nigga, I'm sticking you, Baby Pa, uh
Yes, indeed, flows first class and yours is coach like the bag
The Prada mama
Jog five miles a day then I hit the sauna
My girls rock Chanel and smoke mad marijuana
Damn, ma, I love you like the lah, the ganja
Sensimilla, can I feel you?
All I wanna do is touch you
The ultimate rush, you're drugs, baby
Damn, ma, I love you like the lah, the ganja
Sensimilla, can I feel you?
All I wanna do is touch you
The ultimate rush, you're drugs, baby
Inhale this, clench your fist
Then you feel the mist through the uterus
Can you picture this?
Life without me, wake up you're having bad dreams
'Cause your fiend for a toke
My crew tote Tocques and mink coats
On the cell with the boat, what you thought?
We get caught and get bailed out?
Fuck the jailhouse, Hennessy on the rocks is all we got as we sail out
Entrepreneurs, Cristal pourers, be glad we ain't takin' yours
Boring, huh? I'm warnin' you
Style waits for no bitch, I dream rich
When I fuck with scratch and sniff
Now I stacks the shit, practice it
So no bitch can tax the shit, miraculous
So I can relax a bit, and get my toes licked
The drugs, nigga
Uh, damn, ma, I love you like the lah, the ganja
Sensimilla, can I feel you?
All I wanna do is touch you
The ultimate rush, you're drugs, baby
Damn, ma, I love you like the lah, the ganja
Sensimilla, can I feel you?
All I wanna do is touch you
The ultimate rush, you're drugs, baby
A different kind of high

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
