I woke up yesterday
To the sound of
People in my head
And I didn't know their names
And they won't tell me because I won't play their game

Sometimes I get
Crazy from it

When can I talk?
Not while they're watching
They won't let you
But if you make it up
And maybe leave real loud
You get to stay

I woke up yesterday
To the sound of people at my feet
And I wanted them to stay
But they never because I don't sing so
Sweet

Sometimes I get
Crazy from it

When can I talk?
Not while they're watching
They won't let you
But if you make it up
And maybe leave real loud
You get to stay

Sometimes I get
Crazy from it

When can I talk?
Not while they're watching
They won't let you
But if you make it up they'll take you down
And if you make it up they'll take you down
Somehow you get to stay
Who lets them stay?

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/
