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.
Little things that you do
That we share, me and you
The air I breathe,
You supply me with such wonder stuff
Just one touch is all I need
It feels like I'm falling into Sun
Even on stormy days
In every way, it feels like we're one
As we watch the years go by
Feels like we're still flying high
Baby, you amaze me
You still knock me off my feet
And who would have ever guessed we'd last through it all
The reason I believe, can't you see?
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
Funny how,
Every time that I'm down
You pick me up, you stand by me
People ask "What's the deal?
Why you still so in love?"
Maybe it's meant to be
It feels like I'm falling into sun
Even when life is like a fight
But feels like we've won
As we watch the years go by
Feels like we're still flying high
Baby, you amaze me
You still knock me off my feet
And who would have ever guessed it would last through it all
The reason I believe, can't you see?
You still amaze me
It feels like I'm falling into sun
Even on stormy days
In every way it feels like we're one
As we watch the years go by
Feels like we're still flying high
Baby, you amaze me
You still knock me off my feet
And who would have ever guessed it would last through it all
The reason I believe, can't you see?
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
That we share, me and you
The air I breathe,
You supply me with such wonder stuff
Just one touch is all I need
It feels like I'm falling into Sun
Even on stormy days
In every way, it feels like we're one
As we watch the years go by
Feels like we're still flying high
Baby, you amaze me
You still knock me off my feet
And who would have ever guessed we'd last through it all
The reason I believe, can't you see?
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
Funny how,
Every time that I'm down
You pick me up, you stand by me
People ask "What's the deal?
Why you still so in love?"
Maybe it's meant to be
It feels like I'm falling into sun
Even when life is like a fight
But feels like we've won
As we watch the years go by
Feels like we're still flying high
Baby, you amaze me
You still knock me off my feet
And who would have ever guessed it would last through it all
The reason I believe, can't you see?
You still amaze me
It feels like I'm falling into sun
Even on stormy days
In every way it feels like we're one
As we watch the years go by
Feels like we're still flying high
Baby, you amaze me
You still knock me off my feet
And who would have ever guessed it would last through it all
The reason I believe, can't you see?
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
You still amaze me
You still amaze me

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.
