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.
Some girls walk in the room and everything remains
But when you opened up the door, my life completely changed
Some girls be craving that attention to be seen
But the one I'm looking at is right in front of me
There's no words to express
When you're wearing that dress that way
There's no words to describe
Let me look in your eyes and say
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
Some girls, they hit me up saying, "What you doing now?"
But they don't really understand the masterpiece I've found
Those girls be wondering why I haven't been around
And if they haven't figured out, I bet they hear me now
There's no words to express
When you're wearing that dress that way
There's no words to describe
Let me look in your eyes and say
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
Some girls walk in the room and everything remains
But when you opened up the door, my life completely changed
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
Did you know you're beautiful, baby?
There's beautiful and then there's you
I know there is beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
But when you opened up the door, my life completely changed
Some girls be craving that attention to be seen
But the one I'm looking at is right in front of me
There's no words to express
When you're wearing that dress that way
There's no words to describe
Let me look in your eyes and say
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
Some girls, they hit me up saying, "What you doing now?"
But they don't really understand the masterpiece I've found
Those girls be wondering why I haven't been around
And if they haven't figured out, I bet they hear me now
There's no words to express
When you're wearing that dress that way
There's no words to describe
Let me look in your eyes and say
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
Some girls walk in the room and everything remains
But when you opened up the door, my life completely changed
There's beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you
Did you know you're beautiful, baby?
There's beautiful and then there's you
I know there is beautiful and then there's you
There's beautiful and then there's you

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/
