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/
Aliens are coming to us
To speak in our minds
A million thoughts a second
In their world there are no hands
No rock and roll bands
Just the palest light
They are coming to earth
Can they help us learn
To think of one another?
Holding out their eyes
With no fear or disguise
Just the sweetest fire
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
I'm so glad that it's over
We will never know
The bitter taste of nothing
From this moment on
It's as if it were gone
Leaves a sweetest fire
Listening out for their voices
Coming through the night
Across the empty ocean
Can we understand
Things will never be the same
Not for anyone
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
To speak in our minds
A million thoughts a second
In their world there are no hands
No rock and roll bands
Just the palest light
They are coming to earth
Can they help us learn
To think of one another?
Holding out their eyes
With no fear or disguise
Just the sweetest fire
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
I'm so glad that it's over
We will never know
The bitter taste of nothing
From this moment on
It's as if it were gone
Leaves a sweetest fire
Listening out for their voices
Coming through the night
Across the empty ocean
Can we understand
Things will never be the same
Not for anyone
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
They are nearly here
Tonight
They are nearly here
