This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
You take Sally and I'll take Sue
There ain't no difference between the two
Coke's for whores, it ain't for men
They say it kills but they don't know when
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my brain
Woke up this morning, had a hunger pain
And all I want for breakfast is my good cocaine
Oh mama, come here quick
That old cocaine's about to make me sick
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my brain
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my brain
I'm spendin' all my cash on cheap cocaine
And I've been wasted almost every day
And I don't know what to do
It kinda sucks being twenty-two
And now I'm back to pissing in my car
I'm back to doing lines in bathroom bars
And I don't know what to do
It kinda sucks being twenty-two
We were high as fuck on your back porch
And you didn't care anymore
But are you really gonna kick me out in this rain?
And I knew you would
I would've paid the rent if I could
And I know you do
Mean everything when you're all fucked on booze
I'm spending all my cash on cheap cocaine
And I've been wasted every day
And I don't know what to do
It kinda sucks being twenty-two
We were high as fuck on your back porch
And you didn't care anymore
But are you really gonna kick me out in this rain?
And I knew you would
I would've paid the rent if I could
And I know you do
Mean every fuckin' word when you're fucked on booze
And I knew you would
I would've paid the rent if I could
And I know you do
Mean everything when you're all fucked on booze
There ain't no difference between the two
Coke's for whores, it ain't for men
They say it kills but they don't know when
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my brain
Woke up this morning, had a hunger pain
And all I want for breakfast is my good cocaine
Oh mama, come here quick
That old cocaine's about to make me sick
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my brain
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my
Cocaine running 'round in my brain
I'm spendin' all my cash on cheap cocaine
And I've been wasted almost every day
And I don't know what to do
It kinda sucks being twenty-two
And now I'm back to pissing in my car
I'm back to doing lines in bathroom bars
And I don't know what to do
It kinda sucks being twenty-two

And you didn't care anymore
But are you really gonna kick me out in this rain?
And I knew you would
I would've paid the rent if I could
And I know you do

I'm spending all my cash on cheap cocaine

We were high as fuck on your back porch
And you didn't care anymore
But are you really gonna kick me out in this rain?
And I knew you would
I would've paid the rent if I could
And I know you do
Mean every fuckin' word when you're fucked on booze
And I knew you would
I would've paid the rent if I could
And I know you do
Mean everything when you're all fucked on booze

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/
