[Incomprehensible]
You know them people be strugglin' every day
You got to get up, get out and move your body line today
Say listen to me people said I've got to tell you something true
And don't be falsified by what others want you to do
It took forever just to chase you
It took a second to replace you
But I will not bother and disgrace you
And send you to the judge and let him case you
Her time has left you behind
Time won't let you be mine
Maintain me soul and me say maintain me mind
Time is the master and the master is time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Deceiver [Incomprehensible] and this will leave her
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, and you will melt in this time
The time hasn't left you, you say so far behind
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
You know them people be strugglin' every day
You got to get up, get out and move your body line today
Say listen to me people said I've got to tell you something true
And don't be falsified by what others want you to do
It took forever just to chase you
It took a second to replace you
But I will not bother and disgrace you
And send you to the judge and let him case you
Her time has left you behind
Time won't let you be mine
Maintain me soul and me say maintain me mind
Time is the master and the master is time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Deceiver [Incomprehensible] and this will leave her
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, and you will melt in this time
The time hasn't left you, you say so far behind
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time
Yes, these are the hands of time

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/
