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.
I want to be
I want to play with you tonight
Hold me, that's all that's on my mind
Baby, something feels so right
Maybe we could play tonight
I want to be so in love with you
I want to do just what you want to do
I want to be all that to you
I got a dream and you can make it true
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
Love me until the morning light
Please me, make me feel alright
Kiss me, let me make you mine
I love it, loving you sometime
Come on, come on, I want to be with you
Come on, come on, I won't get over you
I want to do just what you want me to
I got a dream and you can make it good
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
I want to play with you tonight
Hold me, that's all that's on my mind
Baby, something feels so right
Maybe we could play tonight
I want to be so in love with you
I want to do just what you want to do
I want to be all that to you
I got a dream and you can make it true
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
Love me until the morning light
Please me, make me feel alright
Kiss me, let me make you mine
I love it, loving you sometime
Come on, come on, I want to be with you
Come on, come on, I won't get over you
I want to do just what you want me to
I got a dream and you can make it good
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel
'Cause I, I'm fascinated by your love, boy
And I'm fascinated by your love toy
I'm fascinated by the way you make me feel

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'

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/

This site never fails to astound me. Great dance track ffrom the '80's. The singer and her white wig. It's about sex! K? It's about her being fascinated by his "down-stairs" and how she feels after...K. ;)
Yeah I was thinking this song was about sex but WTF it's a beautiful thing and last but not least it's also about gettin a good fuck.
