Hey it's my time
To change my direction in life just by reading the signs
Hey it's my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck
No time for sorrow it's your judgment day
It's not far away It's not far away
There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
It's not far away
Hey I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away
I'm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get it right
I hear voices echo from the grave
Whispering softly it's your judgment day
Hey I won't rest in peace
Until this world is sick of hearing from mr
Hey get outta my way
I got a lot more living to do before my
Judgment day

    Yeah, pretty much it's about somebody to stop messing around and start making changes for the better, because life will be over any time it wants to be

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/
