We came in to the harbour and I saw signs
Not intending to find him standing there, all eyes
Why was I nervous to speak to a man of the sea
Maybe I was just so surprised to have found someone like me

So we stayed up and spoke of
Everything I wish I had done
And he showed me what life could be
And I’ve never been so interested but
I knew I had to wake up

We tied up and he knew that I played the guitar
So I stayed singing while he listened from afar
Why was I waiting for a small conversation?
I knew he was waiting for me
So I sat down and felt like I’d found something
I never thought I would see

So we stayed up and spoke of
Everything I wish I had done
And he showed me what life could be
And I’ve never been so interested but
I knew I had to wake up

It’s all so vivid it had to be real
All of the things he said I can still feel
And if he wasn’t so far from this place
I would go tell him I wish he could stay

Just stay up and speak of
Everything I wish I had done
And show me what life can be
Cuz I’ve never been so interested
So we stayed up and spoke of
Everything I wish I had done
And he showed me what life could be
And I’ve never been so interested but
I knew I had to wake up
I knew I had to wake up

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/
