This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
How I long to be like a child again
Nothing to win
Enjoying You enjoying me
Yesterday is gone
Life won't stay the same
How I have changed
But You are and always will be
How I long to be like a child again
Nothing to win
Loving You just loving me
Memories aren't enough
Oh how I long for You
And You long too
Right here, right now I believe
Hear me cry
(Chorus:)
Please forgive me
Soften my heart I pray
Let me love You tomorrow
Even more than I do today
If You willed You would
My aspirings get the best of me
I'm sorry I push You so hard
It's not by might nor power
Holy Spirit consume me
My food is to do Your will
So hear me cry
(Chorus)
Nothing to win
Enjoying You enjoying me
Yesterday is gone
Life won't stay the same
How I have changed
But You are and always will be
How I long to be like a child again
Nothing to win
Loving You just loving me
Memories aren't enough
Oh how I long for You
And You long too
Right here, right now I believe
Hear me cry
(Chorus:)
Please forgive me
Soften my heart I pray
Let me love You tomorrow
Even more than I do today
If You willed You would
My aspirings get the best of me
I'm sorry I push You so hard
It's not by might nor power
Holy Spirit consume me
My food is to do Your will
So hear me cry
(Chorus)

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.
