If there were a way
I would even the score.
You would love me less
And I'd love you more.

I think I knew all along
We were just wrong
But you were so kind
And I thought I was strong.

Now there's nothing left to do.
All the trying's been no use.

'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.
'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.

I can't say I wouldn't
Do it all over again;
Don't know if that means
We lose or we win.

All that you've ever done
Is just love me more
Than anyone else
Ever loved me before.

Now there's nothing left to say
That would make it all okay.

'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.
'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.

And there were just
Enough pieces that fit
To hold it in place,
But I have to admit

I know it's not broken
But it can't be fixed.

Now there's nothing left to do.
All the trying's been no use.

'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.
'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.

Heart wants
What the heart wants.
'Cause the heart wants
What the heart wants.

...what the heart wants.
...what the heart wants.
...what the heart wants.
...what the heart wants.
...what the heart wants.
...what the heart wants.
...heart wants.

    this song is about a couple in which the girl didn't really care much about the relationship and the guy was deeply in love with her,and now that he's gone, she realizes how much he really meant to her, and she tries to get him back, but he wont take her back. :[

    this will be my situation soon.

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/
