This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Let me out of your iron grip
I don't want your lover's tips
I don't need your interrogations
Don't ask me 'bout my other relations
You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
I come in late an' you throw a fit
You sit me down and give me some lip
Well I don't have to waste my time
A wimp like you ain't worth a dime
You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby
Go away an' don't come back
I don't want my mirror cracked
Go and find somebody new
Got no time to mess with you
You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby
I don't want your lover's tips
I don't need your interrogations
Don't ask me 'bout my other relations
You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
I come in late an' you throw a fit
You sit me down and give me some lip
Well I don't have to waste my time
A wimp like you ain't worth a dime
You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby
Go away an' don't come back
I don't want my mirror cracked
Go and find somebody new
Got no time to mess with you
You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby

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/
