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"
Sometimes I try, sometimes I don't
Sometimes the way I feel inside is gonna show
You know we're all the same
I know you're tired, you try to talk
But you think I don't hear you anymore
Here it comes again
But sometimes you just take it too far
You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
I know you'll tell your friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again
Sometimes you try, sometimes you don't
Sometimes the way you feel inside is gonna show
But some things never change
So walk away and count to ten
Say how you feel, don't say that again
We'll find another way
Cause you don't have to take it so far
You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
And I know you'll tell your friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again
If feels like
I'm breathing under water
It feels like
I'm watching my whole world crash
And you can say
You don't know if you love me
But never that you never have
You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
I know you'll tell your friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
Just give me back forever again
Sometimes the way I feel inside is gonna show
You know we're all the same
I know you're tired, you try to talk
But you think I don't hear you anymore
Here it comes again
But sometimes you just take it too far
You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
I know you'll tell your friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again
Sometimes you try, sometimes you don't
Sometimes the way you feel inside is gonna show
But some things never change
So walk away and count to ten
Say how you feel, don't say that again
We'll find another way
Cause you don't have to take it so far
You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
And I know you'll tell your friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again
If feels like
I'm breathing under water
It feels like
I'm watching my whole world crash
And you can say
You don't know if you love me
But never that you never have
You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
I know you'll tell your friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
Just give me back forever again

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/

"Scream until the neighbours all complain"
Apparently Male C loves to hear her bitches scream while she dominates them in bed and paddles their ass, if Male B knew about this she would put Male C in her place tbh
