This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I ain't no saint
I can't turn the other cheek
But you can cool my temper
By the words you speak
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
If I'm falling over, she makes the pieces fit
If I get arrested or in some legal twist
She talks to the judge and gets the case dismissed
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
Well I feel alright down hear lord
I think Heaven's gonna have to wait
Aooh
Don't tell me how to make a living on it
Don't lock her love up with a key
If I'm down my head is spinning
Don't call a doctor or a priest
I ain't no saint
Won't tow the party line
I ain't no saint
Won't tow the party line
But you get my nomination
Every single time
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
Believe the taller stories
If I heard it from your lips
Don't need to worry about the
Crazy shit I'm in
This tender magic surely give me a thrill
I ain't no saint
I won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down here, Lord
I think Heaven's gonna have to wait
Yeah
I can't turn the other cheek
But you can cool my temper
By the words you speak
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
If I'm falling over, she makes the pieces fit
If I get arrested or in some legal twist
She talks to the judge and gets the case dismissed
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
Well I feel alright down hear lord
I think Heaven's gonna have to wait
Aooh
Don't tell me how to make a living on it
Don't lock her love up with a key
If I'm down my head is spinning
Don't call a doctor or a priest
I ain't no saint
Won't tow the party line
I ain't no saint
Won't tow the party line
But you get my nomination
Every single time
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
Believe the taller stories
If I heard it from your lips
Don't need to worry about the
Crazy shit I'm in
This tender magic surely give me a thrill
I ain't no saint
I won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down here, Lord
I think Heaven's gonna have to wait
Yeah

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/
