I been pushed.
I been shoved too long
They even tried to buy my song
But it ain't gonna be that way no more
I been hurt. I been shut inside
I've even tried to fix and die
But I'm just gonna kick out through that door
Yeah, tell me lies, and place your lovin' arms around me
I've been caged, like a wild cat
By fools who don't know where its at
But it ain't gonna be that way no more
In my head there's a cry of pain
I wear my heart out and kill my brain
But I'm just kick out through that door
Yeah, tell me lies and place your lovin' arms around me
Don't it make ya, make ya wanna open up and bleed?
I'm a bitter man
But anyone can see
You wont get me
Down on my knees
I been shoved too long
They even tried to buy my song
But it ain't gonna be that way no more
I been hurt. I been shut inside
I've even tried to fix and die
But I'm just gonna kick out through that door
Yeah, tell me lies, and place your lovin' arms around me
I've been caged, like a wild cat
By fools who don't know where its at
But it ain't gonna be that way no more
In my head there's a cry of pain
I wear my heart out and kill my brain
But I'm just kick out through that door
Yeah, tell me lies and place your lovin' arms around me
Don't it make ya, make ya wanna open up and bleed?
I'm a bitter man
But anyone can see
You wont get me
Down on my knees

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/
