This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I bring out the best in you
But you bring out the worst in me
There's nothing that I wouldn't do (for you)
But you don't give me anything
Wish that I was strong enough to weather this storm
My friends are saying they don't recognize me from before
But when I say "I'll leave" you don't believe me anymore
'Cause you know that I'll always be there
Maybe that's why you don't care
So just take it all
And watch how I fall
Always thinking you'll catch me
You are killing me slowly
I keep holding my breath
'Cause I love you to death
I love you to death
I love you to death
You're the reason I still hope
You're the reason I still choke
Used to be your love will take my hurt away
But now you love to watch me break, mm
How I'ma suppose to leave if you refuse to let me go
Don't know how I ever let you have so much control
Every time you feelin' high you make me feel so low
Cause you know that I'll always be there
Maybe that's why you don't care
So just take it all
And watch how I fall
Always thinking you'll catch me
You are killing me slowly
I keep holding my breath
Cause I love you to death
I love you to death
I love you to death
Every time you come back I believe it
But I know that you don't really mean it
You're so good being bad that I buy it
Every time you come around
You're the reason I still hope
You're the reason I still choke
'Cause you know that I'll always be there
Maybe that's why you don't care
So just take it all
And watch how I fall
Always thinking you'll douche me
You are killing me slowly
I keep holding my breath
'Cause I love you to death
I love you to death
I love you to death
But you bring out the worst in me
There's nothing that I wouldn't do (for you)
But you don't give me anything
Wish that I was strong enough to weather this storm
My friends are saying they don't recognize me from before
But when I say "I'll leave" you don't believe me anymore
'Cause you know that I'll always be there
Maybe that's why you don't care
So just take it all
And watch how I fall
Always thinking you'll catch me
You are killing me slowly
I keep holding my breath
'Cause I love you to death
I love you to death
I love you to death
You're the reason I still hope
You're the reason I still choke
Used to be your love will take my hurt away
But now you love to watch me break, mm
How I'ma suppose to leave if you refuse to let me go
Don't know how I ever let you have so much control

Always thinking you'll douche me
You are killing me slowly
I keep holding my breath
'Cause I love you to death
I love you to death
I love you to death

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/
