Bring the funeral cart around
Teenage love is dead
See the garden like a crown
On its youthful head

If there's a shadow of a doubt
We can figure it out in the morning
(Shadows on a youthful head)

See how carelessness becomes
Half an ocean deep
Now we don't know how to speak

If there's a shadow of a doubt
We can figure it out in the morning
(Teenage love is dead)
We were running in the dark
An emotional park
But I understood
If there's a comet in the sky
Like a terrible eye on the front yard
Then they shine the eyes
Of the innocent one
(Shadows on the youthful head)

Centuries of self-defeat
Coursing through my blood
When the spirit's broken
The eyes aren't open
To what might come

For my mortal sins
And so on, I repent
For my callous insincerity
And arguments
What I'm trying to say is
The world just seems to
Scare the life out of me

If there's a shadow of a doubt
We can figure it out in the morning
(Teenage love is dead)
We were running in the dark
An emotional park
But I understood
If there's a spirit in the sky
Like a terrible eye on the front yard
Then they shine the eyes
Of the innocent one
(Shadows on the youthful head)

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/
