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.
What is all the light now,
in this place we've come to
I never needed
Years without you
Cause lie on nice harmony
No one sees you quite like me
And the breezin' is cheated hours
I'll buy the buddha by the sea, coming
I can still grunt like I was me
And I'll come and I'll leave you
But I'll come again
So bring your love round here
Why this emigration makes a nation
But if you wanna let go
Just like a premonition
Your words are ammunition
No
The inbetween is the everything
In the morning light
How you shine, how you shine
I wonder where you ever hey-ho
Lily will come
Just be mine oh mine
Ding-ding no money now
Still with doctor honey now
Still hope got away you know
Find it anywhere you (go)
Always in love they know
So much of a lake and flute
Stuck home gone away you know
Find it anyway
Only we would have
Went back out at sea
Never my day
It's passing by on me
So bring your love round here
Why this emigration makes a nation
But if you wanna let go
Just like a premonition
Your words are ammunition
No
The inbetween is the everything
Won't you love me, our lust day
Just bring your love round here
And with some migration makes a nation
And if you wanna let go
Just like a premonition
Your words are ammunition
No
in this place we've come to
I never needed
Years without you
Cause lie on nice harmony
No one sees you quite like me
And the breezin' is cheated hours
I'll buy the buddha by the sea, coming
I can still grunt like I was me
And I'll come and I'll leave you
But I'll come again
So bring your love round here
Why this emigration makes a nation
But if you wanna let go
Just like a premonition
Your words are ammunition
No
The inbetween is the everything
In the morning light
How you shine, how you shine
I wonder where you ever hey-ho
Lily will come
Just be mine oh mine
Ding-ding no money now
Still with doctor honey now
Still hope got away you know
Find it anywhere you (go)
Always in love they know
So much of a lake and flute
Stuck home gone away you know
Find it anyway
Only we would have
Went back out at sea
Never my day
It's passing by on me
So bring your love round here
Why this emigration makes a nation
But if you wanna let go
Just like a premonition
Your words are ammunition
No
The inbetween is the everything
Won't you love me, our lust day
Just bring your love round here
And with some migration makes a nation
And if you wanna let go
Just like a premonition
Your words are ammunition
No

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
