This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I lie awake at night
And I think about it
Where I have been
And who I've been with
'Cause all around me
I see them dropping like flies
Everytime they tell us
We say it doesn't exist
And all we want to do
Just to have some fun
Reverend Jackson says
The time has come
That the holy book
Has been talking about
The good Rev. also said
Where there' s pleasure
There will always be danger
On his knees I heard him pray so hard
He said God save your children
[Chorus:]
Save us from the sins of the flesh
Things we have learned
From our good & loving parents
When temptation comes
It all becomes useless
Like an ashtray on a motorbike
Everything you do remember
The body bag hangs
Next to the first aid kit
It' s your life
It' s your world
I' m just passing through
Reverend Jackson said
The time has come
That the holy book
Has been talking about
[Chorus till fade]
And I think about it
Where I have been
And who I've been with
'Cause all around me
I see them dropping like flies
Everytime they tell us
We say it doesn't exist
And all we want to do
Just to have some fun
Reverend Jackson says
The time has come
That the holy book
Has been talking about
The good Rev. also said
Where there' s pleasure
There will always be danger
On his knees I heard him pray so hard
He said God save your children
[Chorus:]
Save us from the sins of the flesh
Things we have learned
From our good & loving parents
When temptation comes
It all becomes useless
Like an ashtray on a motorbike
Everything you do remember
The body bag hangs
Next to the first aid kit
It' s your life
It' s your world
I' m just passing through
Reverend Jackson said
The time has come
That the holy book
Has been talking about
[Chorus till fade]

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/

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.
