This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah
Oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin' yo' mouth, let's go
Actin' like you've never seen a dick befo'
All these bitches in here
Oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin' yo' mouth, let's go
Actin' like you've never seen a dick befo'
All these bitches in here
Oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin' yo' mouth, let's go
Actin' like you've never seen a dick befo'
All these bitches in here
Will the real X to the Z please stand up?
With my niggas and my guns, not givin' a fuck
Stickin 'em up at point blank range
They say the more things change
They stayin' the same, I can't complain
Type of shit that make you wish you was dead
Make you bite the curb, and stomp down on the back of your head
Blow it out like a afro pick
Attract bitches like flies to shit
Pop pills and ride the dick
Niggas can't swing this quick, I'm Dark McGwire
Bangin' shit over the fence with Rockwilder
Listen, niggas do anything for a dollar, even
Killin' they own, let it be known, it's like
It ain't safe where I'm from
Niggas start beef, never knowin' the outcome
Rather be caught with it than caught without one
Leave it alone because the life that you save might be your own
It ain't safe where I'm from
Niggas start beef, never knowin' the outcome
Rather be caught with it than caught without one
Leave it alone because the life that you save might be your own
I'm pullin' pistols if you don't break bread
Mr. Wrong Side of the Bed, only get excited for head
Now print this in your industry books
If it wasn't for crooks you niggas'd still sport the Jordache look
Hit the switch, front to back, side to side
Natural born killers never let shit slide
Never rely on the next man to swing for you
A rock and a hard place, duck between the two
And y'all bitches just somethin' to do, don't get it twisted
You're easy like Sunday mornin' and shopliftin'
It go simple as that, I'm never givin' half to a rat
I'd rather bang in your face with a bat
You get tied down to the tracks
Used to make a living cookin' coke to crack, now I can't turn back
This is holocaust rap, nigga, overreact
And I'mma bring it to yo' chest like an asthma attack (ya heard? Yeah)
It ain't safe where I'm from
Niggas start beef, never knowin' the outcome
Rather be caught with it than caught without one
Leave it alone because the life that you save might be your own
Yeah, oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin' yo' mouth, let's go
Actin' like you've never seen a dick befo'
All these bitches in here
Oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin' yo' mouth, let's go

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/
