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 walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be
Oh, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Shadows fall, I pass a small café where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, oh-whoa-oh
If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Oh, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
'Cause there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be
Oh, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Shadows fall, I pass a small café where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, oh-whoa-oh
If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Oh, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
'Cause there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

this song reminds me of what i'm going through! I miss my ex.....and now everywhere i go something ends up reminding me of him :( it sucks! I couldn't even take a test one time cause his name was used in the story! grrrrrr it sucks
This song quickly became a favorite to me,the beat,the vocals and the lyrics are great.The lyrics alone are worth the listen,and this song is so meaningful,and i think its pretty much well stated by the title of the song what the message is he/shes trying to get out,that no matter what,he/she cant stop being reminded by memories of the ex.
this is one of the best cover songs of all time, i forget who did this first but it wasn't naked eyes.
This song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David ..and was first recorded by Lou Johnson.
but yes it is a cover

yeah its the worst feeling beign without the person you love - not only does everyone remind you of them but you cant stop thinking about them and you go back to all the things that remind you of them... "Always something there to remind me"...so true
this song was originally written by burt bacharach and recorded by either dionne warwick or sandy shaw. maybe both. it is not originally by naked eyes. naked eyes are one hit wonders whose one hit was not written by them.
it was Sandie Shaw. Naked Eyes are well remembered by fans of 80s music, here in UK. Great album. I think you've all said it about this song x
