This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Baby, we are lying here
Pretending that we're both asleep
I can hear your broken heart
In every single breath you breathe
It's hard to find the words to say
When we both hurt like this
So, I close my eyes and pray
Time will heal what we're bound to miss
No one can ever say
Why it goes this way
Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get, ain't really what we want
Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get, ain't really what we want
It seems for every one we win
There's another three we lose
We've waited for the answer here
Only just to leave confused
You know you're forever mine
And baby, I'm forever yours
I've waited in the darkest rooms
Waiting on the open door
We've been so long wishing for things
We just keep forgetting that we
Got all we'll ever need in you and me
Everything we have, anything we got
It was given baby. It was given baby
There ain't a thing we need that heaven forgot
It was given baby. It was given baby
Pretending that we're both asleep
I can hear your broken heart
In every single breath you breathe
It's hard to find the words to say
When we both hurt like this
So, I close my eyes and pray
Time will heal what we're bound to miss
No one can ever say
Why it goes this way
Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get, ain't really what we want
Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get, ain't really what we want
It seems for every one we win
There's another three we lose
We've waited for the answer here
Only just to leave confused
You know you're forever mine
And baby, I'm forever yours
I've waited in the darkest rooms
Waiting on the open door
We've been so long wishing for things
We just keep forgetting that we
Got all we'll ever need in you and me
Everything we have, anything we got
It was given baby. It was given baby
There ain't a thing we need that heaven forgot
It was given baby. It was given baby

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
