This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
It be night time when shadows fade
She was dressed like a chamber maid
All decked out in silk and I took her
Like a cat takes to milk
Come here little Queenie or...
Has the cat got your tongue?
Can't let nobody see me
Come on girl while we're still young
'Cause there's never been no lover's knot
Can tie you down 'cause you're so hot
Don't pinch me ass I may be dreamin'
Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
I like it, I like it, I like it
She looked sheik in a funky way
Tongue in cheek baby all the way
Home girls they got pride, she said
'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'
Come here little Queenie... or ah
Has the cat got your tongue?
My best shot for a C note baby she said
That's why this Janie's got a gun
Because there's nothin' like a good time girl
To take you twice around the world
I'm so in lust I think I'm trippin'
So in love I think I'm slippin'
Down to the river, down to the river of love
Where the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep
Down to the river, down to the river
Abover 42nd Street it's so sad
That the bad don't come cheap
Because there's nothing like a good time girl
To take you twice around the world
Right to the land of milk and honey
Leave your troubles, bring your money
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
I like it, I like it, I like it
She was dressed like a chamber maid
All decked out in silk and I took her
Like a cat takes to milk
Come here little Queenie or...
Has the cat got your tongue?
Can't let nobody see me
Come on girl while we're still young
'Cause there's never been no lover's knot
Can tie you down 'cause you're so hot
Don't pinch me ass I may be dreamin'
Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
I like it, I like it, I like it
She looked sheik in a funky way
Tongue in cheek baby all the way
Home girls they got pride, she said
'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'
Come here little Queenie... or ah
Has the cat got your tongue?
My best shot for a C note baby she said
That's why this Janie's got a gun
Because there's nothin' like a good time girl
To take you twice around the world
I'm so in lust I think I'm trippin'
So in love I think I'm slippin'
Down to the river, down to the river of love
Where the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep
Down to the river, down to the river
Abover 42nd Street it's so sad
That the bad don't come cheap
Because there's nothing like a good time girl
To take you twice around the world
Right to the land of milk and honey
Leave your troubles, bring your money
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
I like it, I like it, I like it

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/

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.
