Sit down I think I love you
Anyway I'd like to try
I can't stop thinking of you
If you go I'll know I cry

Can't you see that I'm a desperate man
I get high, just being around
You want to know
What they say about the bird in my hand
And that's why I ain't leaving without you

So if you want someone to love you
Pretty babe I'm your guy
It's not much I'm asking of you
Just please give me a try

Can't you see that I'm a desperate man
I get high, just being around
You want to know
What they say about the bird in my hand
And that's why I ain't leaving without you

So if you want someone to love you
Pretty babe I'm your guy
It's not much I'm asking of you
Just please give me a try

Sit down I think I love you
Sit down I think I love you
Sit down I think I love you
Sit down I think I love

    I love this song because this is literally my experience with love. I go up to them saying hey I love you and they say 'That's nice bye now'. It does make you desperate and think you know what folks just give me a try.

    this song is a little different from the rest of the Springfield catalog - Stills used Beatles-type styling when he wrote this, sort of his imitation of the then current British Invasion bands - and why not? everybody was enjoying the Beatles, and I'm quite sure that Stills was not the only guy paying attention

    People have such a close-minded idea about love these days. Back when these songs were written love was everywhere and I think it's written in that mindset of spreading the love.

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/
