This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Check it out
what's crackulatin?
Finna get boisterous
Sisters with voices
And you heard of me
Straight from the 'V', E-40, Fonzerelli
Turn the lights down low
And come lay next to me
I want to fill your mind up, baby
With passion and ecstasy, yeah
Come and get some of my lovin' (Come on)
What I've got it outta sight (Ooh, baby)
Come and get some of my lovin'
I want to ride you all night (Come on)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Oh ho)
What I've got it outta sight (Mmm)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Uh)
I want to do you all night
Ooh, baby, baby, baby
You got me soakin' wet
Lay on your back, now baby
So I can rock you into the sunset, uh
I just want to hear you moan
Up and down, round and round, it's alright
Close your eyes, don't be shy
Just lay back and enjoy this ride
Come and get some of my lovin' (Oh, yeah)
What I've got it outta sight (What I got it outta sight)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Uh uh)
I want to ride you all night (Come on)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Oh ho)
What I've got it outta sight (Yes, it is, baby)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Oh, oh)
I want to do you all night
Might not be a fax machine, but I got a little bit of paper
Mix your Coko with my forty ounce, let's make a boiler maker
My thing-a-majig, be straight up on four
Like I'm fresh up out of the Pen, wearin' a uniform
Standin' at attention, perpin' on some of that ruby red grapefruit juice gin
And must I mention, it leans to the side like the Eiffel Tower, nice and naughty
Niggas talkin' about, Who the hell he think he is, Ron Hightower or some damn body??
I ain't gon' slip it in your tycoon talkin' playboy, partners limpin'
Check it out, after the club you can find me and my dudes
Up in the parkin? lot Sasquatch pimpin'
Ball and tactics, up out of the Bay all damn day
What's up wit mattress, let me display my survey
We could kinda like take our time and do some more nice and slow
About two and a half hours of romantic business
Or we can hurry up and do some more Speedy Gonzales
Better get your rock off before your daddy get home in twenty minutes, huh
Smell me on this one
Sneakin' outta windows, climbin' up on backyard fences of the hinges
Is it fiendsy, Fonzerizi
Tryin' to spit game at Taj and LeLee, SWV
Come and get some of my lovin' (Come on, come on, baby)
What I've got it outta sight (What I got it outta sight)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Yeah)
I want to ride you all night (Come on)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Oh oh ho)
What I've got it outta sight (Yes, it is, baby)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Yeah, ho)
I want to do you all night
I want to do you low and love you slow
My baby boy, you bring me so much joy (So much joy, yeah, oh)
I'm gonna make it right (Oh), gonna make you mine (Oh)
My baby boy, I know you will enjoy (I know you will enjoy, oh, boy)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Come on)
What I've got it outta sight (Yes, it is, baby)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Uh-huh)
I want to ride you all night (I'm gonna ride you, baby, baby)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Come on)
What I've got it outta sight (What I got is outta sight)
Come and get some of my lovin' (Ooh)

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”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
