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 don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you
Go to bed mad, fuss and fight
Wake up, make love middle of the night
I don't understand all the things you do
But baby I could never stay mad at you
And I think that this could last forever
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you
I don't know why you love me
But baby I'm glad that you do
And I'm wide awake to realize
That you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Sometimes I think there's someone better for me
Who says and does things perfectly
A flawless someone warm and sweet
Then I realize you're right next to me
And I think that this could last forever, yeah
[Chorus]
The story of us goes on and on
And it's never gonna end 'cause it's much too
Strong, too strong
[Chorus]
I was meant for you
I don't why I, I don't why I, I don't why I love you
But
I I don't why I, I don't why I, I don't why I love you
But I do
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you
Go to bed mad, fuss and fight
Wake up, make love middle of the night
I don't understand all the things you do
But baby I could never stay mad at you
And I think that this could last forever
[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you
I don't know why you love me
But baby I'm glad that you do
And I'm wide awake to realize
That you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Sometimes I think there's someone better for me
Who says and does things perfectly
A flawless someone warm and sweet
Then I realize you're right next to me
And I think that this could last forever, yeah
[Chorus]
The story of us goes on and on
And it's never gonna end 'cause it's much too
Strong, too strong
[Chorus]
I was meant for you
I don't why I, I don't why I, I don't why I love you
But
I I don't why I, I don't why I, I don't why I love you
But I do
