6 am alarm sounds i'm roused from bed
throw cold water in my face to clear my head
put on a tee and jeans in the dark
and step downstairs and drive to a place that only you'd know where
i think for a while
i pick up the phone dial your area code and some more tones
and i say hello
hello
i miss you

when you least expected it
when you least expected me to call
when you least expected it
it's like i never even left at all

6 am alarm's loud i'm roused from bed
can't get the sound of your voice out of my head
what you said last night starting to sound right
and it's echoing can't hear nothin' else
it's echoing loud
and the echoes are deafening
and i can't help it
i can't help it
i miss you

all this time spent thinking of you
deciding what the hell i should do
trying not to be so confused

what'd you think i meant when i said we were meant to be together?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
