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/
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
I've never been one
For playing games
You can move your mouth forever
But the words sound just the same
Something like
Bang bang you're dead
Couldn't we just make love instead
Say yes because it's what we do best
And I've had sucha hard day
Take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just...
How much - do I have to say
What more - do you have to see
What will it take to make you love me
Well you're not the first
You're not the last
You're not even the one who loves me the best
But all I think about is you
So take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just...
So take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just...
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
Please don't wander from my door
I've never been one
For playing games
You can move your mouth forever
But the words sound just the same
Bang vang you're dead
Shouldn't we just make love instead
Say yes 'cause it's what we do best
And I've had such a hard day
So don't bring me down
Won't you give me a break
Somebody give me a break now!
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
Sweet little boy with oh such a big mouth
Harsh words can get you into hot water
When people don't understand you baby
I'm always here for you
And I
And I will never bring you down, down, down my baby
Trust me
I want you to trust me
Oh trust me
'Cause I won't bring you down
(Don't bring me down)
I won't bring you down
Do you trust me
Yeah
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
I've never been one
For playing games
You can move your mouth forever
But the words sound just the same
Something like
Bang bang you're dead
Couldn't we just make love instead
Say yes because it's what we do best
And I've had sucha hard day
Take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just...
How much - do I have to say
What more - do you have to see
What will it take to make you love me
Well you're not the first
You're not the last
You're not even the one who loves me the best
But all I think about is you
So take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just...
So take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just...
DON'T BRING ME DOWN

Bang vang you're dead
Shouldn't we just make love instead
Say yes 'cause it's what we do best
And I've had such a hard day
So don't bring me down
Won't you give me a break
Somebody give me a break now!
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
Sweet little boy with oh such a big mouth
Harsh words can get you into hot water
When people don't understand you baby
I'm always here for you
And I
And I will never bring you down, down, down my baby
Trust me
I want you to trust me
Oh trust me
'Cause I won't bring you down
(Don't bring me down)
I won't bring you down
Do you trust me
Yeah

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.

Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
Another Love
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
