The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Hey, girl
I got something real important to give you
So just sit down
And listen
Girl, you know we been together
Such a long, long time
(Such a long time)
And now I'm ready
To lay it on the line
Well, you know it's Christmas
And my heart is open wide
(Open wide)
Gonna give you something so you know what's on my mind
(What's on my mind)
A gift real special
So take off the top
Take a look inside
It's my dick in a box
(It's in a box)
Not gonna get you a diamond ring
That sort of gift don't mean anything
Not gonna get you a fancy car
Girl, you gotta know you're my shining star
Not gonna get you a house in the hills
A girl like you needs something real
I wanna get you something from the heart
(Something special, girl)
It's my dick in a box!
My dick in a box, babe
It's my dick in a box!
(Ooh)
My dick in a box, girl
See, I'm wise enough to know when a gift needs giving, girl
And I got just the one
Something to show you that you are second to none
To all the fellas out there with ladies to impress
It's easy to do
Just follow these steps:
One:
Cut a hole in a box
Two:
Put your junk in that box
Three:
Make her open the box
And that's the way you do it
It's my dick in a box!
My dick in a box, babe
It's my dick in a box!
(Oh)
My dick in a box, girl
Christmas
Dick in a box
Hanukkah
Dick in a box!
Kwanzaa
A dick in a box
Every single holiday, a dick in a box
Over at your parents' house, a dick in a box
Meat Day at the grocery store, a dick in a box
Backstage at the CMAs, a dick in a box
Yeah
A dick in a box
Dick in a box
Dick in a box
I got something real important to give you
So just sit down
And listen
Girl, you know we been together
Such a long, long time
(Such a long time)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
