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/
she comes down with
with her hair on fire
while I sleep
and I feel wider than
higher than you know
she walks down
with her wings on fire
if I could stand
her I would blow her down
my buckets of love and pain
but feel me up
with your simple touch
the words in my mouth
i missed you so much
i inspire
everything you do
feel me up
with your simple touch
the words in my mouth
i missed you so much
i inspire
everything you do
mom, i'm just a boy
with her hair on fire
while I sleep
and I feel wider than
higher than you know
she walks down
with her wings on fire
if I could stand
her I would blow her down
my buckets of love and pain
but feel me up
with your simple touch
the words in my mouth
i missed you so much
i inspire
everything you do
feel me up
with your simple touch
the words in my mouth
i missed you so much
i inspire
everything you do
mom, i'm just a boy

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think it's about having sex for the first time, but that's what I think... and I love this song.
yeah... i'm not too sure as WHO is SHE... but my impression is that she is NOT happy. At first I thought it was about some chick he was living with and she was pissed off at him about something... probably from him being 'stoned'.... "wider than, higher than, you know" but again as too WHO SHE is... it seems that it could be his mom... but the last line in the song could be him explaining to his mom why is last relationship didn't work out, stating that he "is just a boy" and therefore was too immature.
At first I skipped through this song, but after a few listens, I actually like this song now quite a bit.
Lyric correction:
SO feel me up with your simple touch the words in my mouth i missed you so much IN HINDSIGHT everything you do
