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/
Sometimes you wonder
How much I care
I get so distracted, running nowhere
And I take for granted
Our love is secure
But if I started losing you
One thing is sure
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
I learned to be strong
A long time ago
And I can face any wind, no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger, than I want to be
If I had to live without, you loving me
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
No one matters more in my life
Oh, makes me feel like you make me feel inside
I've come far enough to know love's
Worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Whatever it takes
I'd be beggin' and pleadin' with you
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
How much I care
I get so distracted, running nowhere
And I take for granted
Our love is secure
But if I started losing you
One thing is sure
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
I learned to be strong
A long time ago
And I can face any wind, no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger, than I want to be
If I had to live without, you loving me
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
No one matters more in my life
Oh, makes me feel like you make me feel inside
I've come far enough to know love's
Worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Whatever it takes
I'd be beggin' and pleadin' with you
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

She's begging the guy to stay. She'll do anything.
It's about a woman ready and willing to use oral sex as a means of holding onto the man she's in love with. It's amazing this made it onto AM radio.
