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/
I was driftin' cryin'
I was looking for an island
And I was slippin' under
I pull the devil down with me
One way or another
I'm out of my mind think you can wait?
I'm way off the line think you can wait?
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exit's one by one
I'm out of my mind think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all) think you can wait?
What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
And I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with
Me one way or another
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exit's one by one
I'll try i'll try
But I couldn't be better (All I have is all)
I'll try but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all) i'll try
But I couldn't be better (All I have is all)
I was looking for an island
And I was slippin' under
I pull the devil down with me
One way or another
I'm out of my mind think you can wait?
I'm way off the line think you can wait?
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exit's one by one
I'm out of my mind think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all) think you can wait?
What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
And I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with
Me one way or another
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exit's one by one
I'll try i'll try
But I couldn't be better (All I have is all)
I'll try but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all) i'll try
But I couldn't be better (All I have is all)
