You would look a little better
Don't you know
If you just wore less make-up
But its hard to realize
When you're sky high
Fighting off the spaceships

And so you're drinking in your room
To make it all go
It didn't end too soon
You've got the next one
You're holding on too long
You've got to let go
Your other love is gone
And you know

Its too late
Its too late
You've got another one coming
And its going to be the same

I tried to find a quiet place that we could go
To help you make decisions
But I didn't find it easy to tell them apart
With double vision

And so you're drinking in your room
To make it all go
It didn't end too soon
You've got the next one
You're holding on too long
You've got to let go
Your other love is gone
And you know

Its not the same
Its not the same
Its not the same
You're going to tell me that I'm right
You're going to come back down
And find yourself
Where you are again

You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
So don't pretend you saw it now
Its not something you'd want to happen
Now you know who you are again

    My Interpretation

    The song definitely seems like it's about a relationship that's going wrong. "And so you're drinking in your room" means that one of them is drinking to make the pain go away while the other (also have drunk) "tried to find a quiet place that we could go To help you make decisions". The one who was drinking will realize in the end that the other was right "Its not the same You're going to tell me that I'm right You're going to come back down And find yourself Where you are again."

    Even though the meaning (that I've interpreted) is kind of sad, the music is very happy and something I've listened to quite a lot!

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/
