This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I realize the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
So lift your eyes if you feel you can (feel you can)
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan (show you a plan)
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me (oh, oh-oh)
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long (I've been loving you too long)
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (on, carry on)
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
Now I'm lost (lost in love and I don't know much)
Lost in love (was thinking aloud and fell out of touch)
Lost in love (but I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted)
Lost in love
Now I'm lost (lost in love and I don't know much)
I'm lost in love (was thinking aloud and fell out of touch)
I'm lost in love (but I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted)
Lost in love
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out

You know you can't fool me

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/

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.
Ah the way my life is right now it feels like I'm living in an Air Supply song!!
