This world is gonna fuck me up
I gotta get out of the rain
Thinking I could slit my wrists
Over and over again

Quacking like a fucked up duck
The doctor she knows I'm insane
I'm sliding back a slippery slug
Trickling from muddy brain

Then maybe
You gotta be crazy
Won't you swing down on your rope
Scoop me up and show me hope
And drop me a sunblind and elope
Without it

Oh great, so now I'm blind as shit
Stumbling 'round in the rain
And no one's there to tell you off
Over and over again

A moment with the strangest grace
To make you believe you belong
To flicker like a far-off star
Twinkling, there then gone

A favour
You goddamn saviour
Won't you swing down on your rope
Get me cracked out on your dope
And drop me fucked up and elope
Without it

Give me one more blooming rest
One more tasting, one more test
One more night sleep, laid to rest
Without it

Something's happening to me
Something I cannot see
Something swells around me
Something I cannot breathe

You've (...) it all on your own
And it was (...) as you go home
But you've gotta make it there alone
Without it

You may think the world is shit
But you know it's always been shit
You've got nothing to do with it
Or without it

Do you doubt it?

Give me one more burning sky
One more failure, one more try
One more dream so I can die
Without it

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/
