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/
If ya getting down baby
I want it now baby
Come and get it on baby
I want it not baby
I want to take a little time
To refresh your mind
'Cause the boys are back in town, with a
Different kinda funk
Who's got the funk?
We got da funk - right!
Everybody want to boogie down tonight
Now tomorrow your hand up in the sky
Move 'em from side to side
I got what it takes
The beat that brace the funky bass I'll
Give your body craze shakes (UH!)
[Chorus]
Wiggi, wiggi, I'm gettin jiggi, open up the
Door, I got the key to your city
You're looking kinda pretty
Dance 'till you drop and it don't stop until
It goes pop
Dance how you want to dance
Let's all get down while we got da chance
I've still got 12 seconds on the clock,
That's mine
And I ain't gonna stop 'till the shine shine
Line after line
I flow like rhyme after rhyme
Just like time after time
Keep it up 'till you feel the heat
And get down once you feel the beat (UH!)
[Chorus]
There ain't no problems that we can't fix
'cause we can do it in the mix
Noe if your man gives you trouble
We'll be there on the double
Guaranteed we'll be hittin' for six
(Come on)
If ya getting down baby
I want it now baby
Come and get it on baby
I want it not baby
I want it now baby
Come and get it on baby
I want it not baby
I want to take a little time
To refresh your mind
'Cause the boys are back in town, with a
Different kinda funk
Who's got the funk?
We got da funk - right!
Everybody want to boogie down tonight
Now tomorrow your hand up in the sky
Move 'em from side to side
I got what it takes
The beat that brace the funky bass I'll
Give your body craze shakes (UH!)
[Chorus]
Wiggi, wiggi, I'm gettin jiggi, open up the
Door, I got the key to your city
You're looking kinda pretty
Dance 'till you drop and it don't stop until
It goes pop
Dance how you want to dance
Let's all get down while we got da chance
I've still got 12 seconds on the clock,
That's mine
And I ain't gonna stop 'till the shine shine
Line after line
I flow like rhyme after rhyme
Just like time after time
Keep it up 'till you feel the heat
And get down once you feel the beat (UH!)
[Chorus]
There ain't no problems that we can't fix
'cause we can do it in the mix
Noe if your man gives you trouble
We'll be there on the double

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Ah! Whenever I am intoxicated, I MUST listen to this song. It's a very strange addiction, I know.
it makes me want so muuucchh!!
