The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Mom and Dad, I'm not sorry
For putting bullets in your body
One day I hope you'll understand
That I did it for the man, yeah
Well he came up to me
He said kill you mom and dad
He said it's time to be a man
And fill 'em full of lead and now
the devil made me do it and I'll do it again
Mom and Dad you're beautiful
With bullet holes in you skull
And red looks good on you two
Goodbye, good riddance, I hate you
It was a really simple plan
Go in and kill mom and dad
There's just one lesson to be learned
You fuck with me, you'll sleep with worms
Mom and Dad, I'm not sorry
For dismembering your bodies
In fact it was a dream come true
To have the honor to kill you
I hope you're both doing fine
With your god up in the sky
Well me, I'm doing well
In the luxories of hell
For putting bullets in your body
One day I hope you'll understand
That I did it for the man, yeah
Well he came up to me
He said kill you mom and dad
He said it's time to be a man
And fill 'em full of lead and now
the devil made me do it and I'll do it again
Mom and Dad you're beautiful
With bullet holes in you skull
And red looks good on you two
Goodbye, good riddance, I hate you
It was a really simple plan
Go in and kill mom and dad
There's just one lesson to be learned
You fuck with me, you'll sleep with worms
Mom and Dad, I'm not sorry
For dismembering your bodies
In fact it was a dream come true
To have the honor to kill you
I hope you're both doing fine
With your god up in the sky
Well me, I'm doing well
In the luxories of hell

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/
