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/
Through my eyes
I have seen the world start spinning like a ball
Stars light up and then fall for you
So then what's a man like me supposed to do?
If I gave you the moon, would you notice
That I'm right beside you?
Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done
They'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine
In my world
You're the sun that shines and lights up the evening skies
Clearing up the horizon, hold on
Come with me, and I will never let you down
Oh, and in this love we'll drown, this I promise you
'Cause they can't hold us down
Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine all mine
I would do anything, just believe it
Your love means everything, and I need it
Your heart won't lie
Reach out for me
Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
'Cause you're mine, all mine
And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
They ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine
I have seen the world start spinning like a ball
Stars light up and then fall for you
So then what's a man like me supposed to do?
If I gave you the moon, would you notice
That I'm right beside you?
Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done
They'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine
In my world
You're the sun that shines and lights up the evening skies
Clearing up the horizon, hold on
Come with me, and I will never let you down
Oh, and in this love we'll drown, this I promise you
'Cause they can't hold us down
Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine all mine
I would do anything, just believe it
Your love means everything, and I need it
Your heart won't lie
Reach out for me
Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
'Cause you're mine, all mine
And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
They ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine

I absolutely love this song. 'They', whether it's Clay, or whoever, are telling the total love of their life that they want nothing more than to be with for always and eternity, that "1000 days, 1000 nights are not enough". They will let nobody hurt them or take them from them. I love Clay, whenever I'm sad or mad I put his CD's on and I'm instantly happy. His voice is so down right amazing, that it does that to me.
