This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I always thought I had a pitch-black mind
Surrounding voice change my view
I feel fine now, it is a shame how I found out:
A) When I was a kid I was full of hate
B) Couldn't save the teenager that never felt blame
C) Thought I blazed a path on a dead end street
Always incomplete
D) None of these are an excuse for the person
I've avoided
And all you fuckers in denial
Looks like you'll have to get there soon
to wait awhile
Before you send me off in a nailed shut box
Stopped feeling insecure with what was said
Indifferent to the voice attatched to the head
"What we will become, is how we choose"
Fight like a dumb man when you make him think
You stay afloat for now, but surely you'll sink
With synthetic friends
Now I conclude, I won't confide in you
Hypocrite please, you know the truth
you're just to "happy" to decide it
Like a prediction in a nursery ryhme
To shut me up you'll have to wait a whole life time
Before you send me off in nailed shut box
please let me know
Before you send me off in a nailed shut box
Please let me know.

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/
