In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
six six six am on the weekend, she's creepin out of the east end
and you said it was nothing, you just slipped and missed your ride from your girlfriends
and hey jenny, your hair looks crazy messy
did you all nod off with your shoes on, did you fuck and fall asleep on the futon?
i can't believe you were crashed out watching some movies
wake up little floozie, jenny looks a little jonesy
she said i don't quite know what happened, woke up with my dress wide open
and i like the lights and i like em pretty bright
and he pulled out a pipe in the taxi
and i like the lights and i like em pretty bright
and he took off my tights in the taxi
and you said it was nothing, you just slipped and missed your ride from your girlfriends
and hey jenny, your hair looks crazy messy
did you all nod off with your shoes on, did you fuck and fall asleep on the futon?
i can't believe you were crashed out watching some movies
wake up little floozie, jenny looks a little jonesy
she said i don't quite know what happened, woke up with my dress wide open
and i like the lights and i like em pretty bright
and he pulled out a pipe in the taxi
and i like the lights and i like em pretty bright
and he took off my tights in the taxi

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Amazing
