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/
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause its probably filled with punx and skins who hate my band but still decided to go.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my girl is gonna be upset that I can't spend any time with her alone.
But will things change if we sign our lives away?
I'll never have to work a day in your GAP society
What will we be if this gets bigger than iced coffee
Will we ignore the kids we meet?
For starters ask the question what we planned to seek
When we practiced on Pine St. Nobody knows.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my voice is gone I can't hit a note we played for an hour yesterday.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my parents will say "You got home too late, did you get paid?" cause they don't understand me or the reason I play.
But will things change if we sign our lives away?
I'll never have to work a day in your GAP society
What will we be if this gets bigger than iced coffee
And you don't wanna know me
-diocre us getting played on your MTV
How come we "practiced" on Pine St. Nobody knows
I don't wanna go to the dance today.
The rectum of society.
Gonna fuck the fucking world away tonight!
Don't like me 'cause my hair is green.
Why should I talk to you anyway?
You talk more shit what can I say?
I'll tear your fucking world down tonight! (234)
I don't wanna be your friend, oh no.
'Cause you go around just spewing shit about everyone else, and you and your whole kind can go to hell.
I don't wanna be your friend, oh no.
'Cause you're just a spoiled bitch who no one likes. Not even worth me making this whole verse rhyme
What can I say?
FUCK IT! Sign my soul away!
I'll never have to work a day in your pretentious and sickening society
I'm a fake, not what you made me out to be.
So go home with a disappointed look on your face and stomping with your feet
John lives on Pine St. Now you all know
'Cause its probably filled with punx and skins who hate my band but still decided to go.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my girl is gonna be upset that I can't spend any time with her alone.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
