All 'round this empty space
Baseboards and change with dust
Discard hopeful display
Once it aroused the brave in us
Maintain every night
Bodies aching all the time

Things that made me smile
Made me think we'd last
Broken terrible piles
We couldn't know they'd turn so fast
She drinks red wine every night
Soaking through all the time

Oh, oh God I'm faded out
No more straight lines

We shared the very same room
The very same bed with love
Bad night she fell asleep
I flew away and I'll never stop
We cry every night
Words are broken all the time

Oh, oh God I'm faded out
No more straight lines

Oh, oh God I'm faded out
No more straight lines

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/
