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/
Don't wanna be so angry
Don't wanna keep so quiet
Now its open fire
and I can move.
Don't wanna be so careful
Don't care enough to mind
Don't leave me with no headroom
to climb back down.
I'll just wait for a lindslide
Made up my mind
to make me whole again.
Take up your time
when I'm alone.
Don't wanna be so anxious
Don't care to stand in line
I lay in an open fire
as you watch me burn down
and wait along the wayside.
CHOURS:
Made up my mind
to make me whole again.
I take up your time
when i'm alone.
Don't wanna let you down
Don't care to bring this up again
When my defense doesn't make sense
why you even come around.
Then over and over you lay around
and watch me go back out before the storm.
CHOURS:
Made up my mind
to make me whole again.
I take up your time.
I am....
To make me whole again.
I take up your time
when I'm alone.
Don't wanna keep so quiet
Now its open fire
and I can move.
Don't wanna be so careful
Don't care enough to mind
Don't leave me with no headroom
to climb back down.
I'll just wait for a lindslide
Made up my mind
to make me whole again.
Take up your time
when I'm alone.
Don't wanna be so anxious
Don't care to stand in line
I lay in an open fire
as you watch me burn down
and wait along the wayside.
CHOURS:
Made up my mind
to make me whole again.
I take up your time
when i'm alone.
Don't wanna let you down
Don't care to bring this up again
When my defense doesn't make sense
why you even come around.
Then over and over you lay around
and watch me go back out before the storm.
CHOURS:
Made up my mind
to make me whole again.
I take up your time.
I am....
To make me whole again.
I take up your time
when I'm alone.
