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"
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
I've got no time to hesitate
The bathroom's fogging up with our heartbeats, sweat for me
I watch your nails scraping down the back of my neck
I've got a burning in my chest - its calling for your thighs
This is me and you, you and me for the first time
I've been waiting you've been dreaming of everything I'm talking about
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
We've got no time to hesitate x2
I've got a picture perfect memory under the covers
I'll say exactly what you want to hear, I'll make you scream
There's not a drop of your innocence when you shiver
Don't go love, stay all night, now you're mine
I've been waiting you've been dreaming of everything I'm talking about
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
We've got no time to hesitate x2
Sex is everywhere (sex is everywhere)
It's you and me
It's you to me x3
It's a war in your bedroom…
It's a war in your bedroom…
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
We've got no time to hesitate x2
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
I've got no time to hesitate
The bathroom's fogging up with our heartbeats, sweat for me
I watch your nails scraping down the back of my neck
I've got a burning in my chest - its calling for your thighs
This is me and you, you and me for the first time
I've been waiting you've been dreaming of everything I'm talking about
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
We've got no time to hesitate x2
I've got a picture perfect memory under the covers
I'll say exactly what you want to hear, I'll make you scream
There's not a drop of your innocence when you shiver
Don't go love, stay all night, now you're mine
I've been waiting you've been dreaming of everything I'm talking about
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
We've got no time to hesitate x2
Sex is everywhere (sex is everywhere)
It's you and me
It's you to me x3
It's a war in your bedroom…
It's a war in your bedroom…
It's a war in your bedroom baby
I'd cut off my tongue for just a taste
of a piece of your flesh my darling
We've got no time to hesitate x2

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
