While ARS would never reach the commercial success of Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Marshall Tucker Band, the group had a strong following in the south and charted a number of hits such as "Imaginary Lover," "I'm Not Going to Let it Bother Me Tonight," "Champagne Jam," "So Into You," and a remake of a Classics IV hit, "Spooky."
The band also influenced a number of rock and country artists, notably Travis Tritt, who recorded a cover of the ARS songs, "Back Up Against the Wall" and "Homesick." The group Shudder to Think covered "So Into You."

Atlanta Rhythm Section Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on baby
Why don’t you love me just a little, sometimes
Come on woman
Love me just a little, sometimes
Love
La la la la love
La la la la love
Woman I don’t want much
All I want is a, a touch of you
When I need me some love
Don’t you know, don’t you know
You’re the one I’m thinking of
Love me just a little, sometimes
Come on baby
Why don’t you love me just a little, sometimes
Come on baby
love me just a little, sometimes
Love
La la la la love
Love
La la la la love
Woman if you only knew
All the nights I have dreamed of you
Please don’t turn me away
Look at me
Can't you see what I’m goin’ through
Love me just a little, sometimes
Come on baby
Why don’t you love me just a little, sometimes
Come on woman
Love me just a little, sometimes
Love
La la la la love
Love
La la la la love
The Atlanta Rhythm Section's "Love Me Just A Little" is a love song that talks about a man's desire for his woman to show him affection, even if it's just a little. The repetition of "love" in the chorus signifies that all the man wants is the woman's love. He pleads with her to give him attention, saying he doesn't want much, only a touch of her. He declares that whenever he needs love, he thinks of her, and implores her not to turn him away.
The verse continues with the man trying to convince the woman of his love for her, stating that he has dreamt of her on several nights. He hopes she recognizes what he's going through and asks her again to love him just a little sometimes.
The song's message is simple but powerful, conveying the importance of affection in a relationship. It's more of an appeal than a demand, which makes it even more compelling. The Atlanta Rhythm Section's use of the chorus that repeats "love" over and over again reinforces the song's theme, creating an unforgettable melody that sticks in the listener's mind.
