Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Every night I see you standing on the corner
Shaking that thing like you're playing Pop Warner
Touchdown turnaround, play by play keep the score
Would you turn me down if I'm not what you're looking for
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
Threw so hard
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
Little league in '93 taught me how to take defeat
Good thing there's no mercy rule in love 'cause I would long be beat
Hit the ground look around, but you're nowhere to be found
Accept my loss and head back to the mound
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
Threw so hard
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
Threw so hard
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
Shaking that thing like you're playing Pop Warner
Touchdown turnaround, play by play keep the score
Would you turn me down if I'm not what you're looking for
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
Threw so hard
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
Little league in '93 taught me how to take defeat
Good thing there's no mercy rule in love 'cause I would long be beat
Hit the ground look around, but you're nowhere to be found
Accept my loss and head back to the mound
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
Threw so hard
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
(Don't give up on me)
I never knew you
Threw so hard
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine
Touchdown turnaround, I never see you around
Anywhere or anymore, you are what I'm looking for
Touchdown turnaround, everything is safe and sound
Everywhere and every time, I am yours and you are mine

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/
