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/
Cut the act cause your plays gone too long,
intermissions an excuse for whats wrong
Stretch the truth too far it shows,
theres a quiver in your voice I know
Whoa, waiting by the phone crushed to get the call
decide your fate forever good luck good luck.
Broken trust is a hell of a resume,
running low on excuses and things to say
I dont know who you are
Dont lie is there something your hiding from,
far fetched like the stories your riding from,
I dont know who you are.
You think that I would let this slip away,
slip away you think that I would let you runaway, runaway
When tragedy strikes as you buckle inside watch your head,
watch your head. Take my advice and just run away,
run away far from whats right I hate you I hate you
Tonight as I sit here and ponder your life
as you lie to my face time after time
and its killing you killing me why cant you see
I hate you I hate you
Why must all your lies, be held inside its in your eyes
When tragedy strikes as you buckle inside watch your head,
watch your head. Take my advice and just run away,
run away run away far from whats right I hate you I hate you
Tonight as I sit here and ponder your life
as you lie to my face time after time
and its killing you killing me tearing apart
cant you see I hate you you you
intermissions an excuse for whats wrong
Stretch the truth too far it shows,
theres a quiver in your voice I know
Whoa, waiting by the phone crushed to get the call
decide your fate forever good luck good luck.
Broken trust is a hell of a resume,
running low on excuses and things to say
I dont know who you are
Dont lie is there something your hiding from,
far fetched like the stories your riding from,
I dont know who you are.
You think that I would let this slip away,
slip away you think that I would let you runaway, runaway
When tragedy strikes as you buckle inside watch your head,
watch your head. Take my advice and just run away,
run away far from whats right I hate you I hate you
Tonight as I sit here and ponder your life
as you lie to my face time after time
and its killing you killing me why cant you see
I hate you I hate you
Why must all your lies, be held inside its in your eyes
When tragedy strikes as you buckle inside watch your head,
watch your head. Take my advice and just run away,
run away run away far from whats right I hate you I hate you
Tonight as I sit here and ponder your life
as you lie to my face time after time
and its killing you killing me tearing apart
cant you see I hate you you you
