Cold, as the darkest nights,
Yet we still fight for what we feel is right,
But there's no rescue boat's in sight,
We have to save ourselves
From the waves and the other set backs,
Otherwise this was all meaningless.
I've seen men and women drown,
As the air escapes, such a haunting sound,
But I still won't turn around
The past is in the past,
And I know you will poll through,
Despite everything will happen to you
You won't be swallowed whole,
You will make this all your own.
Dive deep cause it's the moment of truth,
The risk is here now what will you do,
We've been floating around for too long,
The way were living is so terribly flawed.
Cold, as the darkest nights,
Yet we still fight for what we feel is right,
But there's no rescue boat's in sight,
We have to save ourselves
From the waves and the other set backs,
Otherwise this was all meaningless.
Take the risk, risk it all,
Otherwise this was all meaningless.

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/
