This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Once in a while I need a friend
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other
Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighborhood
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
I want to be up in the air
I could be anywhere
Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow
Set me free and I will follow
Maybe we could find a time
To elevate what's on your mind
Recreate for me and you
A master plan just for two
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
Elevate what's on your mind
Eliminate what's on your mind
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other
Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighborhood
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
I want to be up in the air
I could be anywhere
Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow
Set me free and I will follow
Maybe we could find a time
To elevate what's on your mind
Recreate for me and you
A master plan just for two
We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say
Elevate what's on your mind
Eliminate what's on your mind

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
