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/
So you can feel the music all around
We all sing glory
Dance until the end
Why must you be the one to take the pain
Your beauty keeps me walking on
Now I'm running out of time
No Regrets We Have No Time To Wait
Why must you be the one
I can't believe how it feels
It's too dark to see
Something I had never seen before
Your beauty keeps me walking on
Now I'm running out of time
No Regrets We Have No Time To Wait
Why must you be the one
And this silence strips me bare
Her head's down, she waits impatiently
Your beauty keeps me walking on
Now I'm running out of time
No Regrets We Have No Time To Wait
Why must you be the one
You're not supposed to be that way
I will stand up straight and walk away
i'm sure i'll never live this one down
maybe we're just drained
I'm running out of time
Sometimes I forget you're gone
No love lost
How could I justify this
There's no turning back
I'm running out of time
We all sing glory
Dance until the end
Why must you be the one to take the pain
Your beauty keeps me walking on
Now I'm running out of time
No Regrets We Have No Time To Wait
Why must you be the one
I can't believe how it feels
It's too dark to see
Something I had never seen before
Your beauty keeps me walking on
Now I'm running out of time
No Regrets We Have No Time To Wait
Why must you be the one
And this silence strips me bare
Her head's down, she waits impatiently
Your beauty keeps me walking on
Now I'm running out of time
No Regrets We Have No Time To Wait
Why must you be the one
You're not supposed to be that way
I will stand up straight and walk away
i'm sure i'll never live this one down
maybe we're just drained
I'm running out of time
Sometimes I forget you're gone
No love lost
How could I justify this
There's no turning back
I'm running out of time
