This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls n' a roof, electricity
Stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime
But still you, whine
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king
On just one crumb o'ya cake
N'ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine
Like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time
Don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
I was told as a child
I wants never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you
Ain't got no reason to be down
What d'ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sow, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls n' a roof, electricity
Stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime
But still you, whine
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king
On just one crumb o'ya cake
N'ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine
Like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time
Don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
I was told as a child
I wants never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you
Ain't got no reason to be down
What d'ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sow, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep

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/
