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 know just how much I love you
But there is no time to explain
I realize just what I'd give to
Get you back in my arms
And I see you hand in hand with another man
And I don't know what you see in him and why you let us go
So if you're gonna lie
At least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just say goodbye
And I'm caught between myself and me
And I can't find the bridge
From my mind to reality
I'm trying to find a place in the sun
But I'm drowning in the rain
That's falling every place I run
And I see you hand in hand with another man
And I don't know what you see in him and why you let us go
So if you're gonna lie
At least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just say goodbye
Well I'm not gonna sit around just waiting for you to get overhim
So oh, no, no, no
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye now
Well if you're gonna lie
Well at least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just said goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Oh yeah
Won't you say goodbye
Won't you say goodbye now
Won't you say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye now
Won't you kiss me goodbye
You've gotta tell me goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
But there is no time to explain
I realize just what I'd give to
Get you back in my arms
And I see you hand in hand with another man
And I don't know what you see in him and why you let us go
So if you're gonna lie
At least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just say goodbye
And I'm caught between myself and me
And I can't find the bridge
From my mind to reality
I'm trying to find a place in the sun
But I'm drowning in the rain
That's falling every place I run
And I see you hand in hand with another man
And I don't know what you see in him and why you let us go
So if you're gonna lie
At least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just say goodbye
Well I'm not gonna sit around just waiting for you to get overhim
So oh, no, no, no
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye now
Well if you're gonna lie
Well at least you could just let us die
And if you're gonna cry to me baby
At least you could just said goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye now
Say goodbye
Oh yeah
Won't you say goodbye
Won't you say goodbye now
Won't you say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

Won't you kiss me goodbye
You've gotta tell me goodbye

Lol rosypandas and jamjeanne92. He meant 'got her back' as in revenge...as in the song is his way of snitching her out to the world and having the winning word.
curious to know if this song has anything to do with Kate...?
