Tell me which way is up, 'cause I never get there
Feels like I'm stuck in the mud
(Feels like I'm goin' nowhere)

I need a new kind of sign, not just "stop" every time
You try to talk and just keep on tryin'

C'mon, throw me a bone (c'mon throw me a bone)
Thought you'd leave me alone (thought you'd leave me alone)
Spend another night goin' over and over
All the things that you said we shoulda known

You're hidin', baby
In the time it takes me
To see what I've done wrong you'll be gone

You're hidin', baby
In the time it takes me
To see what I've done wrong you'll be gone

Something set you right off
So you took off without sayin'
If I'd have known what it was
(I mighta stopped all the playin')

Now I'm lyin' like lead
On your side of the bed
Feelin' something unwind in my head

You gotta turn out a shine (gotta turn out a shine)
On your two-dollar shoes (on your two-dollar shoes)
Will the nail in your heart
Stop it flyin all apart
When what you've done dawns on you

You're hidin' baby
In the time it takes me
To see what I've done wrong
You'll be gone
You're hidin' baby
In the time it takes me
To see what I've done wrong
You'll be gone

Oh if it gets too much
All of my messing it up
I keep on trying to read your mind
And figure out what makes you want to run

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/
