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"
Chicka-pow! Don't shoot me down
Oh no, how low can you go
Driving fast to get to work
Queen is there just being a jerk
Running her mouth a million times an hour
She's talking trash
It's going sour
That stuff that makes you hurt
Cut you down, make you hit the dirt
Say, she's driving that DIVA thing
That D-I-V-A diva thing
Sing
Why can't you say you're sorry
For treating me so naughty
Just want an apology
Is that against your personal theology
What'd I do to deserve this
How'd I get on your bad list
Just want to make it right
Please Queen please
Let's not fight
Let's not fight, let's not fight
I don't wanna fight tonight
You had your chance to right your wrong
Can't we all just get along
[Chorus:]
You go and talk behind my back
Don't you know that's whack
It's a personal attack
Oh snap
Some friend you are to me
You're Miss Personality
Are you too blind to see
You're such a drama queen
Fresh off the chopping block
She cut me deep and it hurts a lot
She hit me with her best shot
And never gave a second thought
That's too much drama for me mama
Why do you like to stir it
When I am near you throw fits
You cry oh me, me, me
Ain't you got no decency
You dish it out, I take it
I wish you'd just stop fakin'
In your mind your grass is green
But I know you's a drama queen
You're such a, you're such a
You're such a drama queen
[Chorus]
She's a drama queen, if you know what I mean
She'll get under your skin and make you scream
Oww, drama queen
I need a vaccine 'cause you so mean
You got a disease I don't need
And it pays no heed to get it
So better quit it
'Cause a friend in need is a friend indeed
And you ain't that
You's a drama queen
Emphatic, dramatic, you're like a psychosomatic
You're always so problematic
Your drama is cinematic
There's no comparison to the damage you've done
But you've only begun with your hit and runs
[Chorus]
Oh no, how low can you go
Driving fast to get to work
Queen is there just being a jerk
Running her mouth a million times an hour
She's talking trash
It's going sour
That stuff that makes you hurt
Cut you down, make you hit the dirt
Say, she's driving that DIVA thing
That D-I-V-A diva thing
Sing
Why can't you say you're sorry
For treating me so naughty
Just want an apology
Is that against your personal theology
What'd I do to deserve this
How'd I get on your bad list
Just want to make it right
Please Queen please
Let's not fight
Let's not fight, let's not fight
I don't wanna fight tonight
You had your chance to right your wrong
Can't we all just get along
[Chorus:]
You go and talk behind my back
Don't you know that's whack
It's a personal attack
Oh snap
Some friend you are to me
You're Miss Personality
Are you too blind to see
You're such a drama queen
Fresh off the chopping block
She cut me deep and it hurts a lot
She hit me with her best shot
And never gave a second thought
That's too much drama for me mama
Why do you like to stir it
When I am near you throw fits
You cry oh me, me, me
Ain't you got no decency
You dish it out, I take it
I wish you'd just stop fakin'
In your mind your grass is green
But I know you's a drama queen
You're such a, you're such a
You're such a drama queen
[Chorus]
She's a drama queen, if you know what I mean
She'll get under your skin and make you scream
Oww, drama queen
I need a vaccine 'cause you so mean
You got a disease I don't need
And it pays no heed to get it
So better quit it
'Cause a friend in need is a friend indeed
And you ain't that
You's a drama queen
Emphatic, dramatic, you're like a psychosomatic
You're always so problematic

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/
