This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
She's got every quality
From A all the way to Z
It's easy to see she's the perfect girl
She's got every single thing
That makes up my wildest dreams
Sometimes I still can't quite believe she's holding me 'cause
She's got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love, my hugs, my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All my life I spent-a-hopin'
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all
You know that I admit
That someone to love like this
Only existed in my prayers
Until I saw her face
I knew I found the place
Where I could keep every faith eternally 'cause
She's got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love, my hugs, my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All of my life I spent-a-hopin'
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all
All my life I spent-a-hopin'
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
All my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love, my hugs, my kisses
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all
She's got it all
From A all the way to Z
It's easy to see she's the perfect girl
She's got every single thing
That makes up my wildest dreams
Sometimes I still can't quite believe she's holding me 'cause
She's got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love, my hugs, my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All my life I spent-a-hopin'
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all
You know that I admit
That someone to love like this
Only existed in my prayers
Until I saw her face
I knew I found the place
Where I could keep every faith eternally 'cause
She's got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love, my hugs, my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All of my life I spent-a-hopin'
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all
All my life I spent-a-hopin'
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
All my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love, my hugs, my kisses
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all
She's got it all

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song I think is just saying that this woman he has found is just, in his eyes, perfect. Everything she does and he's, as the song shows, decided to devote all he has to her.
