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/
Those with the golden axe have tried to tell me
What they say
That the bird in my chest was dead
But that's never, never, never
She ain't my thug no more, ain't no kind of killer
And she can break 'em off if she damn well please
Just as long as she brings it home to me
And it's still hot
Can you touch what I'm saying?
It's like, did Shuggie do it yet?
No, not yet, wait
Those with the golden axe have tried to tell me
Tell you what
That the sex in my walk was cotton soft
But that's never, never, never
With question marks in my eyes
And your strange name pressed to our lips
We arrived at number eleven
So charged and ready for slaveries
I won't take the stage straight, understand
Under capes with druggy cock dragons
I wanna put out so bad
But something bad says the kid's probably right
Are you deflating at the question?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, okay
Now that the parachute has opened, well
Don't it make you feel good?
Now that the parachute has opened, well
Don't it make you feel good?
Be careful how you touch me
My body is an earthquake
Ready to receive you
My mind's making glaciers
Metals for my soldiers
Let's be like strangers
Touching for the first time
Skeletal lamping
The controller sphere
False priest
Skeletal lamping
The controller sphere
False priest

Page

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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is actually very sad if you have ever held a conversation with him :(... In the beggining he talks about nina twin (wife) as the golden axe person-- after he cheated on her with a women in georgia named Eva she said he was heartless and divorced him. and after that she started calling him repetetivley and daring him to sleep with other women, when he stayed loyal to her she said he was sexless (cotton soft) and that he would never have anyone after her (this was a VERY bad part of their relationship).. kevin after about 4 months of this decided to give in and he slept with groupies (I cant blame him) and got into drugs such as acid and weed agian ( im guessing that SOMEWHAT explains druggy cock dragons...) the "And she can break them off if she damn well please Just as long as she brings it home to me (And it's still hot)" part of the song refers to the call he made to her about taking her back and saying she had to bring herself to him "hotly"----TOO much to go along about bubt its very sad if u ever get to talk to him about it.
kind of crazy he spoke to you about all of that, gotta love kevin.
EVA is the probably the girl he talks about in bunny aint no kind of rider<br /> "eva im sorry but you will never have me"
