This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The way I see it, I just can't win it
Everybody's in it for their own game
You can't please them all
There's always somebody callin' you down
And I do my best and I do good business
As a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
And try and be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris, I was ? and alive
There was nobody to call me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I'm taking on
? star makin' machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers and telephone schemers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If I had my way, I'd walk through that door and wonder
Down the ? going cafe to cabaret
Thinkin' how I feel when I find
That very good friend of mine
Everybody's in it for their own game
You can't please them all
There's always somebody callin' you down
And I do my best and I do good business
As a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
And try and be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris, I was ? and alive
There was nobody to call me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I'm taking on
? star makin' machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers and telephone schemers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If I had my way, I'd walk through that door and wonder
Down the ? going cafe to cabaret
Thinkin' how I feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

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/
