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 see how another days gonna make us change our minds
So why don't we go separate ways and save us a bit of time
We can't go on trying living behind this worn out and thin disguise
I don't want to try talking it out I don't need another fight
It just won't work when
All I want is a little peace and quiet
I just don't wanna live this way cause lately were up al night
I can't speak free when your in my face and I don't like to be unkind
But constantly you try and turn it around when clearly its black and white
Somethings gone and now I'm feeling down cause I've been here a million times
It just won't work when
All I want is a little peace and quiet
We can't go on trying living behind this worn out and thin disguise
I don't want to try talking it out I don't need another fight
It just won't work when
All I want is a little peace and quiet
So why don't we go separate ways and save us a bit of time
We can't go on trying living behind this worn out and thin disguise
I don't want to try talking it out I don't need another fight
It just won't work when
All I want is a little peace and quiet
I just don't wanna live this way cause lately were up al night
I can't speak free when your in my face and I don't like to be unkind
But constantly you try and turn it around when clearly its black and white
Somethings gone and now I'm feeling down cause I've been here a million times
It just won't work when
All I want is a little peace and quiet
We can't go on trying living behind this worn out and thin disguise
I don't want to try talking it out I don't need another fight
It just won't work when
All I want is a little peace and quiet

what a delightful song
I'm hearing WHY, not SHY: "So shy don't we go separate ways and save us a bit of time" and IN, not BE: "We can't go on trying living behind this worn out and be disguise"
Great tune and I agree with MayaMoo on the "I'm hearing WHY, not SHY" part but the "We can't go on trying living behind this worn out and be disguise" part i think it is THIN like their disguise is thin and worn out like you can see through it.
Jaimes19 is right.. it's "we can't go on trying living behind this worn out and thin disguise"
