The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
When I look at you it's like I've been baptised
It's so spiritual like I've been sanctified
Oh I'm drunk in love and you're Beyoncé
Let's get it on
All I gotta say is
I, I, I, I
I feel like a rolling stoner
Don't think I can keep my composure
Girl, until the night is over
I don't have a thought that is sober
Won't you take it off and leave it all behind
If you let me, darling, I could ease your mind
Baby, making love with you is all I want
Whoa, let's get it on
All I wanna say is
I, I, I, I
I feel like a rolling stoner (oh)
Don't think I can keep my composure (I don't think I)
Girl, until the night is over (girl until the night is over)
I don't have a thought that is sober (I don't have a thought)
Heat me up like a soup, baby
Smoke me up till your pupils' crazy
Double vision, everybody singing in sync
R. Kelly, Remix to Ignition
Now there's so many women here, living in the minute
They're stripping in my living room
I wanna be with you
You're just different like Lana Del Rey
You could play me all day like a video game (ooh ooh ooh)
Like a video game (ooh ooh ooh)
All I gotta say
I feel like a rolling stoner (yeah, yeah)
I've had too many Coca Cola's (I've had too many)
Living the la vida loca (oh livin' the la vida)
I don't have a thought that is sober (no)
I feel like a rolling stoner (I feel like)
Don't think I can keep my composure (oh, don't think I can keep my, no)
Girl, until the night is over (oh, girl until the night is over)
I don't have a thought that is sober (no, I don't have a thought that, I don't have a thought, ah)
It's so spiritual like I've been sanctified

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/
