give me a proud look and your lying tongue
come on; sing your song
be my lust puppet let's burn long
come on; speak in wrongs
power is calling
I'm falling, I'm falling down
help me, I'm dirty
I'm dirty, I'm dirty, I'm dirty

I don't have a god
I don't have a church
it's a faithless world and I need saving
I don't have a god
I don't have a church
it's a messed up world and I've got cravings

I'd give my right hand for your bloodied gold
come on; sell my soul
be my boy prophet, don't get old
come on; dance on coals
glory is calling
I'm falling, I'm falling down
help me, I'm greedy
I'm greedy I'm greedy I'm greedy

I don't have a god
I don't have a church
it's a faithless world and I need saving
I don't have a god
I don't have a church
it's a messed up world and I've got cravings

our mothers our lovers our friends our brothers

Mother forgive me, for I have sinned. I want to be a good person but I have evil thoughts. I smashed my boyfriend's head against the wall and made him cry because he humiliated me and showed me up. I feel dirty. I feel dirty. (our mother, our father, our mother, our mother)

I don't have a god
I don't have a church
it's a faithless world and I need saving
I don't have a god
I don't have a church
it's a messed up world and I've got cravings

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/
