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/
"im back, formosa"
Your gardens and bridges green
with shit came running... i'm back.
you think that i'll remember you?
well things all considered, i do.
i dreamt about that house last night.
you know the black lady told me not to make her black sons jealous.
What did I have? Guns and firetrucks...
Do you remember me,
I had long blonde hair, and a stormy smile.
In fact I remember a photograph of me and you.
We were sitting on wicker furniture, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretty cool, man...
"im back sheridan"
Your yellow, red, white, and blue.
Firemen came running.
What went on in those cells?
I can think of exact floorboards that would come up
I can tell you what went on, you interject.
You were visiting a house thats been sealed for a 1000 years.
Little crayon scribbles, a white truck on a string.
You were standing there with your plaid and your favorite things.
But now your sleeping or fucking or something.
Your gardens and bridges green
with shit came running... i'm back.
you think that i'll remember you?
well things all considered, i do.
i dreamt about that house last night.
you know the black lady told me not to make her black sons jealous.
What did I have? Guns and firetrucks...
Do you remember me,
I had long blonde hair, and a stormy smile.
In fact I remember a photograph of me and you.
We were sitting on wicker furniture, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretty cool, man...
"im back sheridan"
Your yellow, red, white, and blue.
Firemen came running.
What went on in those cells?
I can think of exact floorboards that would come up
I can tell you what went on, you interject.
You were visiting a house thats been sealed for a 1000 years.
Little crayon scribbles, a white truck on a string.
You were standing there with your plaid and your favorite things.
But now your sleeping or fucking or something.
