This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Your the kind of boy who likes the kind of girls
That like to fool around with the boys on the first date
Im the kind of girl who ain't supposed to like those boys
But I kinda like those boys that like those kind of girls
Well maybe its fate we should meet up for a date so
We can sit around and talk about
Those things we just cant talk about
like making love and drankin till the sun comes up
Well hallelujah I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy I think I'm in a fantasy
You may talk a lot of stuff sayin' what you gonna do and what do
you want to do with me Well
Hallelujah I finally found a boy like me
Your the kinda boy my daddy used to warn
would walk into my life and lead me down the wrong way
Im the kinda girl who tried hard to ignore
those things that daddy warned about those kinda boys
Well whats a girl to do with a big ole' boy like you
when we sit around and talk those we can just talk about
like making love and drankin' until the sun comes up

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
