This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I never thought about it before
Just close your eyes and ignore
The dark that troubles you most
Don't let it be here
And if you see it again
Hold your breath and pretend
That you're already dead
You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me
Forget the story you heard
Why are you worried about the dirt?
I don't think that you'll mind
When it's your time
'Cause I will be there with you
And we'll figure out what to do
So that you don't get bored
You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me
So try to sleep with a smile
Promise I'll wait a while
To make sure that you moved on
You won't be lost
I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me
Just close your eyes and ignore
The dark that troubles you most
Don't let it be here
And if you see it again
Hold your breath and pretend
That you're already dead
You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me
Forget the story you heard
Why are you worried about the dirt?
I don't think that you'll mind
When it's your time
'Cause I will be there with you
And we'll figure out what to do
So that you don't get bored
You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me
So try to sleep with a smile
Promise I'll wait a while
To make sure that you moved on
You won't be lost
I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with 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/
