I got something on my mind
Makes me sad and makes me cry, oh no
Johnny want to live

Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away, oh no
Johnny want to live

Who's to say he got no rights
Even not a right to life
Don't know why it leaves you cold
Don't know how to make it show, oh no
Johnny want to live
Johnny want to live

Got to give his skin away
For coats the wear on summer days, oh no
Johnny want to live

Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from a test, oh no
Johnny want to live

Through his eyes I look inside his heart
He can feel like me and you
Can't defend himself cause he can't talk

And this is why I talk to you

Johnny isn't just a name
He stands for every creature's pain, on no
Johnny want to live
Johnny want to live

Go an try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistakes
Try to hide them thinking he can't talk
But he can read them on your face

Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear
I'm gonna to make it show, oh no
Johnny want to live
Johnny want to live

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/
