This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
[Jaheim]
Yeah yeah yeah, oh, long as I live.
[Chorus]
Long as I live, handle my biz,
Take care of our kids, 'cause loving you is what it is, oh
Long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
'Cause loving you is what it is
[Jaheim]
With this ring I thee wed, to share my life, to share my home, to share my heart and my bed,
To not make you weak but strengthen you instead,
Till death do us part,
From this day forth for all time baby,
Here on earth and where angels fly,
Gonna love you so much till it makes you cry,
With every beat of my heart, oooh
[Chorus]
[Jaheim]
Before our God, I take this vow, (take this vow)
With family gathered around it's official now,
So take my hand and lets take a bow,
And together we will win,
A commitment to make a sacrifice,
I gladly give it all up I've made my mind,
Just for being my friend, being my wife,
I'd do it all again
[Hook]
Won't you trust me, I will show you,
The type of man Iwas raised to be if you just let me,
Slide this ring up, up on your finger, (on your finger girl)
Cop the crib help raise the kids, yes I'll deliver,
Promise to never let you down, oh no,
I promise to always be right there, I'll be around
[Jaheim]
Just as long as you say the words:
Long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
'cause loving you, loving you is what...
[Chorus until fade]
Yeah yeah yeah, oh, long as I live.
[Chorus]
Long as I live, handle my biz,
Take care of our kids, 'cause loving you is what it is, oh
Long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
'Cause loving you is what it is
[Jaheim]
With this ring I thee wed, to share my life, to share my home, to share my heart and my bed,
To not make you weak but strengthen you instead,
Till death do us part,
From this day forth for all time baby,
Here on earth and where angels fly,
Gonna love you so much till it makes you cry,
With every beat of my heart, oooh
[Chorus]
[Jaheim]
Before our God, I take this vow, (take this vow)
With family gathered around it's official now,
So take my hand and lets take a bow,
And together we will win,
A commitment to make a sacrifice,
I gladly give it all up I've made my mind,
Just for being my friend, being my wife,
I'd do it all again
[Hook]
Won't you trust me, I will show you,
The type of man Iwas raised to be if you just let me,
Slide this ring up, up on your finger, (on your finger girl)
Cop the crib help raise the kids, yes I'll deliver,
Promise to never let you down, oh no,
I promise to always be right there, I'll be around
[Jaheim]
Just as long as you say the words:

'cause loving you, loving you is what...

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
