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/
And we wait above a road.
We're turning to go home.
And the silence from the side of the car,
Tells me everything and how we are.
'Cause there's no more trying to make this so right.
There's no more trying tonight.
And you know it's not so easy when
You're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone
In your head.
I know something is wrong,
I just don't know what to do.
You say it's only me, and that I'm so perfect for you.
I don't want to try no more,
I don't want to make this right.
I just want you to be true to me one time.
And you know it's not so easy when
You're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone
In your head.
Twelve days gone by since I have saw you last,
I'll give this one more try,
I'll give it all my best, and I'll ask
What could you be doing that is so much fun?
Without me by your side,
Without me by your side.
And I will take a step back, and I'll let you ahead,
And I will take a step away, and see if you come back,
Because there's no more trying to make this so right,
There's no more trying,
There's no more trying tonight.
We'll never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
Until you're done.
We're turning to go home.
And the silence from the side of the car,
Tells me everything and how we are.
'Cause there's no more trying to make this so right.
There's no more trying tonight.
And you know it's not so easy when
You're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone
In your head.
I know something is wrong,
I just don't know what to do.
You say it's only me, and that I'm so perfect for you.
I don't want to try no more,
I don't want to make this right.
I just want you to be true to me one time.
And you know it's not so easy when
You're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone
In your head.
Twelve days gone by since I have saw you last,
I'll give this one more try,
I'll give it all my best, and I'll ask
What could you be doing that is so much fun?
Without me by your side,
Without me by your side.
And I will take a step back, and I'll let you ahead,
And I will take a step away, and see if you come back,
Because there's no more trying to make this so right,
There's no more trying,
There's no more trying tonight.
We'll never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
Until you're done.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is beyond words. I can barely listen to it. But it explains me so well. My boyfriend and I broke up because he needed time apart...it sucks...
and the funny thing is that....it has been 12 days since i have seen him...but i miss him too death :(
