The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
When I was young
I never knew
What this thing called love
Could do to you
But since you been gone
And I've been on my own
I've been feeling quite peculiar
But I'll get by without your smile
I'll get through without you
But I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
Cause Elvis ain't dead
And you're coming back
And Elvis ain't dead
And you're coming back
Oh
Since you been gone
I can do what I like
But it doesn't mean a lot to me
I'm all shook up
And I'm lonesome tonight
I think I need a lot of lobotomy
But I'll get by without your smile
I'll get through without you
But I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
Cause Elvis ain't dead
And you're coming back
Cause Elvis ain't dead
And you're coming back
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
You
Me
Maybe we we're never meant to be
[2x]
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Cause I heard him on the radio
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
And you're coming back to me I know
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Yes I heard him on the radio
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
Cause Elvis ain't dead
And you're coming back
And Elvis ain't dead
And you're coming back
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
Elvis has left the building
Thank you and good night

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.

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/
this is my favorite song by them and i kind of agree with the person above but i believe that the "Elvis isn't dead And you're coming back to me I know" part is because people dont really know if he is or not and there is always a slight chance that he might be alive cause some people think his death was a hoax or whatever . so he thinks that if he keeps an open mind she might come back to him. and comparing it to elvis because the truth is, chances are hes dead, and the chance is she wont come back to him
sorry if that didnt make sence xD
