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/
O bófia empurrava-me e dizia para desandar. Eu não podia compreender porquê. Quiz-lhe perguntar. O bófia sacou do casse-tête e deu-me com ele uma, duas, três vezes nos costados. Senti um choque eléctrico percorrer-me o corpo e uma humilhação que não podia ficar impune. Não percebia porque ele me batia. Quiz-lhe perguntar. Mas o gajo continuou a dar-me cassetadas e já os outros bófias se aproximavam de casse-tête na mão. Não ia ficar para ali, especado, feito bombo da festa. Uma raiva surda trepava-me à cabeça. Ah, que raiva! Quando dou conta, mandava-lhe uma joalhada aos tomates. Senti-os a espalmar de encontro ao joelho. Já os outros bófias descarregavam sobre mim os seus casse-têtes virados ao contrário. Senti uma dor de vertigem quando um me acertou na cara. Percebi que a carne se rasgava e um esguicho de sangue me inundava os olhos. Já me acertavam por todos os lados. Mas não interessava. Já nada interessava.
Sede de sangue!
Sede de sangue!
Sede de sangue!
Sede de sangue!
Já nada interessava. A não ser aquele bófia agarrado aos tomates. Num último esforço disparo-lhe um pontapé à cara. Assim, de baixo para cima - pás! Senti a biqueira da bota entrar-lhe pelas fuças dentro. Os ossos a quebrar. Os dentes a saltar numa baba de cuspe e sangue. Senti o olho a esborrachar-se sobre a biqueira da bota. Os outros bófias continuavam a descarregar sobre mim os seus casse-têtes virados ao contrário. Mas eu já nada via. Só sangue. Dores. Senti-me dobrar. Cair. Aaaaaaaaaahhh!...
Sede de sangue!

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.
