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/
Looking for a cure within the human race
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take
Burning up the tents of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country tis' of me
Cry for absolution, it's not the end for me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war maching, don't get in its path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
I don't know how much more I can take
Fight!... It's my country
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take
Burning up the tents of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country tis' of me
Cry for absolution, it's not the end for me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war maching, don't get in its path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
I don't know how much more I can take
Fight!... It's my country

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
As completely inappropriate as that was, it was even more wrong. Fight For Freedom was an early 90s group of Los Angeles community activists/vigilantes. Dave wrote a(nother) song about hating the system but loving his country and its freedoms.
this song is abviously about someones "fight for freedom" and wants to get away from all the man made things and live in peace
Protest to the Government
damn when i saw FFF on here, i thought it was about my 3 F's......Find 'em, Fuck 'em, and Forget 'em.oh well. i'm a huge Megadeth fan, but i honestly have never heard this song.NO CODE you're just mad because Hanson hasn't come out with a new CD.get over it, they slob johnsons, like you and you're old man
who sandman take it easy
*whoa
Um...dude, people put together the FFF = 666 connection before the album was even released in 1997. When it turned out that FFF = Fight For Freedom, it was abandoned like any half-assed theory should be.
yeah, the whole fff=666 thing is purely coincidental there, pal.
seriously, I'm sick of this. IF YOU DON'T LIKE A BAND, DON'T LISTEN TO THEM AND THEN GIVE THEM BAD REVIEWS AND COME ON HERE AND SAY THEY SUCK. this sin't a site where people can make or break a band, its a website that allows fans to give their feedback on songs
whoever thought FFF=666, please lock yourself in a room wiht nothing but this song and listen to it until the message is burned into your brain because the lyrics aren't talking about satan and shit, they're about standing up against a corrupt government.
this song bears a very technical solo from Marty
