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.
Late again, no time waiting,
to get what you need,
still how you feel
just to keep it real,
you've never really needed anyone
to tell you what to be,
or what u should do,
this is your dream.....
what you want it to be you can be
saved by love and your faith....

climb the ladder how high do you get
no one will know..
when you get time
pull on trough..
cant tell just how much time we get
wish that we knew..
if its guidance you seek
look inside of you..
what you wanted to be ..
you can be..
what you wanted to see
in front of me..
what you want you wanted to give
you have gave..
saved by love and your faith

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/

dude.. those lyrics are wrong, and you lefted out a BIG chunk of the song... here's the real lyrics:
Late again, no time wait in line To get what you need Still how you feel just to keep it real You never really needed anyone to tell you what to be Or what you should do This is your dream
What you wanted to be, you can be What you wanted to see's in front of me What you wanted to give, you have gave Saved by love and your faith
[Chorus 5x] Saved by love
Climb your ladder, how high do you get? No one will know When you get time, pull on through Can't tell just how much time we get Wish that we knew If it's guidance you seek, look inside of you
What you wanted to be, you can be What you wanted to see's in front of me What you wanted to give, you have gave Saved by love and your faith
[Chorus 5x] Saved by love
What you wanted to be, you can't be What you wanted to see's in front of me
[Chorus repeat till end] [In background over chorus] What you wanted to be, you can be What you wanted to see's in front of me What you wanted to give, you have gave Saved by love and your faith
