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"
We've done our time (we've done what you said)
Twitch through the night (I wish I was you violation)
So hold on tight
I watch her spin out of control (she spins)
I watch her spin out of control (she spins)
I watch her spin out of control (she spins)
I watch her spin!
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
And this feels like heaven
The sin has become a massive piece of mind,
I guess I ran it over a thousand times in my head,
I can say I never felt this way
Because your violation was only skin deep
I've ended your pain and written my own ending
I'm guilty but flawless
If this is justice, I'm your jury
The chamber is loaded
And now I have the shotgun riding shotgun
Your open door (this pain will pull me through this)
That leaves you helpless (this sorry plea that leaves you helpless)
But life won't wait
Why can't I just gain control (she spins)
Why can't I just gain control (and she spins)
Why can't I just gain control (she spins)
While I watch her spin!
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
This feels like heaven! Heaven!
A feeling of grief
But life won't wait
She spins She spins She spins!
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
And this feels like heaven
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
And this feels like heaven
And this feels like heaven
And this feels like heaven
And this feels
Twitch through the night (I wish I was you violation)
So hold on tight
I watch her spin out of control (she spins)
I watch her spin out of control (she spins)
I watch her spin out of control (she spins)
I watch her spin!
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
And this feels like heaven
The sin has become a massive piece of mind,
I guess I ran it over a thousand times in my head,
I can say I never felt this way
Because your violation was only skin deep
I've ended your pain and written my own ending
I'm guilty but flawless
If this is justice, I'm your jury
The chamber is loaded
And now I have the shotgun riding shotgun
Your open door (this pain will pull me through this)
That leaves you helpless (this sorry plea that leaves you helpless)
But life won't wait
Why can't I just gain control (she spins)
Why can't I just gain control (and she spins)
Why can't I just gain control (she spins)
While I watch her spin!
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
This feels like heaven! Heaven!
A feeling of grief
But life won't wait
She spins She spins She spins!
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
And this feels like heaven
And we are the ones who held you tightly
(the trigger is cold as blood
And your pain is now my depression)
And this feels like heaven
And this feels like heaven
And this feels like heaven
And this feels

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/
