This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Baby come save me
I'm going crazy without you
Steal me away
These nights just ain't the same
And you can watch me wisely but I'll turn on a dime
You can try and surprise me but I've made up my mind
And you've known the whole time
I want you beside me
Or we can weight our lines here
Let it drown us, drag us down
Tangled in fear that it won't come around
That we've lost what we'd found
Neither of us freer
I'm going crazy without you
Steal me away
These nights just ain't the same
And you can watch me wisely but I'll turn on a dime
You can try and surprise me but I've made up my mind
And you've known the whole time
I want you beside me
Or we can weight our lines here
Let it drown us, drag us down
Tangled in fear that it won't come around
That we've lost what we'd found
Neither of us freer

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/

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
See, I don't see this as a "getting over someone" song at all. I see it as a "new love" kind of song... maybe they both have just gotten over breakups, but the "tangled in fear" line to me is about not wanting to rush into a relationship, and "neither of us freer" because their new relationship with each other allows each of them to be freer than they were in their previous relationships...
