This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
What's my name
(blowing back on this marry jane I'm analyzin the game)
And the game done chose me
(to bring pain to pussy niggaz and pussy hoes, its one in the same)
Ever since you told me
(there's only room for 2, I've been making less room for you)
Not only god could hold me
(hug my, love me, judge me, the only man that help is above me, holla)
I met so many men its like they're all the same
My appetite for loving is now my hunger pain
And when I'm feeing sexy who's gonna comfort me?
My only problem is their insecurity
(tired of being alone) yeah yeah
(arguing on the phone) yeah yeah
(telling all you're friends)yeah yeah
(you'll never understand)my love
'Cause I'm real(the way you walk the way you move the way you talk)
'Cause I'm real(the way you stare the way you look you're style you're hair)
'Cause I'm real(the way you smile the way you smell it drives me wild)
'Cause I'm real and I can't go on without you
Girl, I've been thinkin' bout this relationship
And I want to know is this as good as it gets
'Cause we've been through the worst times and the best times
But it was our time, even if it was part-time
My baby lookin' at me, smilin' at me, laughin' like we wasn't happy
But not knowin', ever growin' and we're gettin' married
Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
Bitch, I ain't doin' this for nuttin'
I'm here to get it poppin', hoppin, let's ride up in the Benz
Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin, hey
I'm nasty, heh, you know me
But you still don't mess with your baby
'Cause I'm real(the way you walk the way you move the way you talk)
'Cause I'm real(the way you stare the way you look you're style you're hair)
'Cause I'm real(the way you smile the way you smell it drives me wild)
'Cause I'm real and I can't go on without you
Now people loving me and hating me treating me ungratefully
But not knowin' that they ain't making or breaking me
My life I live it to the limit and I love it
Now I can breath again baby now I can breath again
Now people screaming what's the deal with me and so and so
I tell the bitches mind ya biz but they don't hear me though
My life I live it to the limit and I love it
Now I can breath again baby now I can breath again
(tired of being alone) yeah yeah
(arguing on the phone) yeah yeah

(nigga don't understand)my love
'Cause I'm real(the way you walk the way you move the way you talk)
'Cause I'm real(the way you stare the way you look you're style you're hair)
'Cause I'm real(the way you smile the way you smell it drives me wild)

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is GREAT. I would never have guessed in a million years that it was a J-Lo song (the first time I heard it was the other night when I saw TSL live.) Anyway yeah they did an awesome job turning a stupid pop song into a great punk song.
