This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Now she's walking in the dark
Every time, it's her spark
Trying hard to find her will
There's the man she must kill
Tell me what you're gonna do
Tonight
She's gonna
Make you wanna follow through
Tonight
She's gonna
Make your heart wanna dance
But romance
Has no chance
So, she'll walk into the night
She's going to want to win the fight
She's gonna talk to you
But still she'll keep on turnin'
There she goes
A tainted rose
And when she stops
Nobody knows
She's gonna talk to you
But 'til she'll keep on turnin'
Hey!
Now she's talkin' in her sleep
Every night, the thoughts creep
Tryin' hard to find that will
She's got secrets to spill
Tell me what you're gonna do
Tonight
She's gonna
Make you wanna follow through
Tonight
She's gonna
Make your heart wanna dance
But romance
Has no chance
So, she'll walk into the night
She's going to want to win the fight
She's gonna talk to you
But still she'll keep on turnin'
There she goes
A tainted rose
And when she stops
Nobody knows
She's gonna talk to you
But 'til she'll keep on turnin'
Two thousand and one cigarrettes
Each one to hide
Every single one of her regrets
My love, wait!
Don't you know the morning light?
Not tonight, not tonight, tonight
Don't you want to see her fight?
Not tonight, not tonight, tonight
Every time, it's her spark
Trying hard to find her will
There's the man she must kill
Tell me what you're gonna do
Tonight
She's gonna
Make you wanna follow through
Tonight
She's gonna
Make your heart wanna dance
But romance
Has no chance
So, she'll walk into the night
She's going to want to win the fight
She's gonna talk to you
But still she'll keep on turnin'
There she goes
A tainted rose
And when she stops
Nobody knows
She's gonna talk to you
But 'til she'll keep on turnin'
Hey!
Now she's talkin' in her sleep
Every night, the thoughts creep
Tryin' hard to find that will
She's got secrets to spill
Tell me what you're gonna do
Tonight
She's gonna
Make you wanna follow through
Tonight
She's gonna
Make your heart wanna dance
But romance
Has no chance
So, she'll walk into the night
She's going to want to win the fight
She's gonna talk to you
But still she'll keep on turnin'
There she goes
A tainted rose
And when she stops
Nobody knows
She's gonna talk to you
But 'til she'll keep on turnin'
Two thousand and one cigarrettes
Each one to hide
Every single one of her regrets
My love, wait!
Don't you know the morning light?
Not tonight, not tonight, tonight
Don't you want to see her fight?
Not tonight, not tonight, tonight

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/
