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"
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But my fear is it's too late
Won't go making no trouble
'cause I feel like I could break
All of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
All of those plans I had
To give it all
And I feel like I could break
And I feel like I could break
Now it's more than I can take
And I feel like I could break
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I'm feeling your heartache
Your creation through your eyes
There is pain it's no mistake
Closer I get to you I see
Souls full of hurt, full of need
The closer I get I see less of me
And I feel like I could break
And, I feel like I could break
Lord, I know now it's getting late
Let my heart be broken by your heartache
And I feel like I could break
Now, it's more than I can take
'cause all of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
And all of those pains I feel
Revealed to me
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I feel like
But my fear is it's too late
Won't go making no trouble
'cause I feel like I could break
All of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
All of those plans I had
To give it all
And I feel like I could break
And I feel like I could break
Now it's more than I can take
And I feel like I could break
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I'm feeling your heartache
Your creation through your eyes
There is pain it's no mistake
Closer I get to you I see
Souls full of hurt, full of need
The closer I get I see less of me
And I feel like I could break
And, I feel like I could break
Lord, I know now it's getting late
Let my heart be broken by your heartache
And I feel like I could break
Now, it's more than I can take
'cause all of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
And all of those pains I feel
Revealed to me
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I feel like

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/
