This song
Is called the song
This song has a story
About downtown in L.A.

I once gazed upon a mountain
About the time when I was 5
I used to see old Uncle Bob on weekends
But now he's gone

This song
Is called the song
This song has a story
About down by the river

I once went fishing down in brook
About the time when I was 15
I used to see tons, and tons of fish
But now they're all gone

This song
Is called the song
This song has a story
About me singing the song

I once wrote a song
About now when I'm 25
I used to play the electric guitar
But now it's gone

This song
Is called the song
This song has a story
About me singing the song

The song.

    This big hit of theirs has got one of the greatest arcoustic guitar solos i've almost ever heard before.

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/
