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 keep my head uptight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive
There is an awful sound, this haunted town
And it will not, it will not, it will not just be quiet
Some ghosts sink, some will get called to the light
I spend boring hours in the office tower
In a bus, on a bus back home to you
And that's fine, I'm barely alive
It's just a matter of time, no one gets out alive
And I'm content, I'm content, I'm content to be quiet
Some will sink, some will get called to the light
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
I keep my head uptight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive
With our little boots, we built another world
Where we're chain, chain, chain, chain, chained to the light
That's fine, our blood is alive
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive
There is an awful sound, this haunted town
And it will not, it will not, it will not just be quiet
Some ghosts sink, some will get called to the light
I spend boring hours in the office tower
In a bus, on a bus back home to you
And that's fine, I'm barely alive
It's just a matter of time, no one gets out alive
And I'm content, I'm content, I'm content to be quiet
Some will sink, some will get called to the light
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
I keep my head uptight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive
With our little boots, we built another world
Where we're chain, chain, chain, chain, chained to the light
That's fine, our blood is alive
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
