First came the screams and blood on the floor
The alcohol and magazines
In my flashlight you're a star
Razor blade that cuts you clean

Smile for the camera
Take off that dress
Twenty dollars for a kiss

It's me who made you
It's me who will take you

I am not an evil man
I just have a habit I can't kick
It starts with an urge and ends with this
Hang up the phone, I ain't finished yet

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
