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/
Cruising the stars
Riding on cosmic winds
Into the open
To challenge the great unknown
Excitement electrifies
Willing to pay the price
To seek and explore
Intergalactical miracles and more
Final frontier
How many secrets do you hide
So let the journey begin
In dignity and pride
Riding the windon a thunderbird
Travelling the road
That no one has travelled before
Riding the wind on a thunderbird
A universe so magical
Miracles and mythical
Thunderbird
Take us there
The quest has begun
And we are the chosen ones
Chosen to be
The pioneers of humanity
Thunderbird, take us away
Take us ashore
And let us stray
Among the wounders
Of time and space
To gain the knowledge
Of all our race

The memory of all we've been leaving behind
Stays on our mind
Riding the wind on a thunderbird

We're bowing to you
In dignity and pride

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.
