The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Words nothing but words
For me to show
How much my love for you
Unfolds through trouble and fears
This love feels so real, and I need you to know
Even though we're far apart
You're right beside me in my heart
Don't you know my love is here?
Don't you know my love is real?
You should know by now
This much is true
My love is here for you
Time, nothing but time
To make up your mind
I'll give you all that you need
I want you to know, I'll never let go
Till you come back to me
And even though you're far away
I am right beside you day by day
Don't you know my love is here?
Don't you know my love is real?
You should know by now
This much is true
My love is here for you
And even though we're far apart
You're right beside me in my heart
Don't you know my love is here?
Don't you know my love is real for you?
You should know by now
This much is true
My love is here for you
For me to show
How much my love for you
Unfolds through trouble and fears
This love feels so real, and I need you to know
Even though we're far apart
You're right beside me in my heart
Don't you know my love is here?
Don't you know my love is real?
You should know by now
This much is true
My love is here for you
Time, nothing but time
To make up your mind
I'll give you all that you need
I want you to know, I'll never let go
Till you come back to me
And even though you're far away
I am right beside you day by day
Don't you know my love is here?
Don't you know my love is real?
You should know by now
This much is true
My love is here for you
And even though we're far apart
You're right beside me in my heart
Don't you know my love is here?
Don't you know my love is real for you?
You should know by now
This much is true
My love is here for you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
