This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for you)
Another night out, another dance floor
Here we go, another night out
Waited all week just to get out
Where do we come from, do I know your name?
Doesn't really matter, in this life we're all the same
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
A DJ a light show
Speakers putting up, as we go
This way and that way, getting past the night
Doesn't really matter, in this life we're all the same
Move for you, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me)
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me)
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me, I'll move for you)
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me, I'll move for you)
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for you)
Another night out, another dance floor
Here we go, another night out
Waited all week just to get out
Where do we come from, do I know your name?
Doesn't really matter, in this life we're all the same
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
A DJ a light show
Speakers putting up, as we go
This way and that way, getting past the night
Doesn't really matter, in this life we're all the same
Move for you, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Move for me, I'll move for you
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me)
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me)
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me, I'll move for you)
Another night out, another dance floor
(Move for me, I'll move for you)
Another night out, another dance floor

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
