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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I love the video. Moz and the gang are just cruising through LA.
yea its a great vid
this song makes me cry
this song reminds me of a personal experience of mine -about a relationship that is very much one sided...the person in question is in love with the someone but they only have time for themselves...
this song is so beautiful. I love the video as well. I know the feeling of this song...:(
It is beautiful. does anyone know where it's to be found on record?
I always thought that it was about being in love with someone who already is in love with someone else.
love to someone else already in love to someone
unfair relationship
To be in love with someone who is taken. To love someone who loves another, yeah. The way in which he sings it sounds desprete. We all know that its not pracital just begging someone to "Do something new". You cant change the way people feel about eachother. And if Morrissey is as gay as i think he is then its probs about a straight lad who cant/wont love him back. As most Moz enthusiasts, i relate it alot to my own situation, that being the case, i bloody love this song, never fails to make me cry. xxx
The video was shot in DOWN TOWN PHOENIX, NOT LA. The band cruises down Van Buren and up Central in a classic Rolls Royce convertible.
I know you love one person But why don't you love two?
Love those lines.
