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/
It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds in, it's obvious, your going nowhere
She makes you tell her that she's your best friend
You tell her things you know won't make her mad
Don't want to be the one to say things are going nowhere
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to wait by the phone, and,
I don't want to tell you I love you
Don't want to tell you I love you, anymore!!!
It's hard to live outside her safety zone
Cause you remember being all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way, you're going nowhere
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to wait by the phone, and,
I don't want to tell you I love you
Don't want to tell you I love you, anymore!
And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe I'll be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to talk
I don't want to rock
I don't want to wait by the phone, and,
I don't want to tell you I love you
Don't want to tell you I love you, anymore!
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
