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/

She blamed him for stoking up controversy
In a dreamworld
It\'s a long way down from Heaven\'s gate
In the absence of a jury
The case continues
White lies
Seal his bitter fate
The case continues

Take a fish
And a potato
Hold the fish
And the potato
In your hand
In your hand
Put the potato
In the fish
Make it digest it
Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up
This is how you make fishcakes
This is how one makes fishcakes
Smash it up
Poke it up
Fishcakes
Fishcakes
Fishcakes
Fishcakes
Put it down the fish
Put it down the fish
Throw it against the wall
Stamp on the fish
Fishcakes
Fishcakes
Fishcakes
Fishcakes
Throw it on the wall
Smash it on the wall
Throw it on the wall
Smash it on the wall

Do you always keep drumsticks on the piano?
Take it easy
Avoid risks
And if possible, stay at home
Not only is trouble very difficult
But your are advised of staying off ladders
For there may be the danger of performance
There is a lot of stress and strain
Both at work, and at home
But we know
Tomorrow is another day

Naturally enough
The others have been doing their utmost to match this performance
This is something people get when they continually drink whiskey
I can\'t drink
I hardly eat these days
Ok, that\'s fine

In a dreamworld
It\'s a long way down from Heaven\'s gate
In the absence of a jury
The case continues

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Its the b-side of passion of lovers. I always refer to it as "the passion of brothers" because they share vocal duties and are competing with each other as mentioned by Daniel Ash's bit. p.s:you can only hear daniels words correctly if you reverse it. Audigy works well for this.
