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's happening all the time
When I open my eyes
I'm still taken by surprise
I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies
And it makes me want to cry
I love you
And I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
We were walking there (I am just wishing you were here)
And I had tangles in my hair (so we could walk down to the stream)
But you make me feel so pretty
You have shining eyes (and we would throw all our leaves in)
Yes, like the forest lights (seeing our dragons when we look up)
And it makes me want to cry
I love you
And I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
And I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
This place is so lovely
It kind of makes me very happy
Let's go far away to the humming meadow
To the humming meadow
To the humming meadow
When I open my eyes
I'm still taken by surprise
I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies
And it makes me want to cry
I love you
And I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
We were walking there (I am just wishing you were here)
And I had tangles in my hair (so we could walk down to the stream)
But you make me feel so pretty
You have shining eyes (and we would throw all our leaves in)
Yes, like the forest lights (seeing our dragons when we look up)
And it makes me want to cry
I love you
And I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
And I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
This place is so lovely
It kind of makes me very happy
Let's go far away to the humming meadow
To the humming meadow
To the humming meadow

I really love this song, it has such a cheerful feel. These lyrics also aren't correct.
It's happening all the time when I open my eyes I'm still taken by surprise I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies And it makes want to cry, I love you
I shall never grow up Make believe is much too fun Can we go far away to the humming meadow
We were standing there and I had tangles in my hair but you make me feel so pretty You have shining eyes, like the forest lights and it makes me want to cry, I love you (I am just wishing you were here so we could walk down to the brook And we would throw all our leaves in, seeing our dragons when we look)
I shall never grow up Make believe is much too fun Can we go far away to the humming meadow
This place is so lovely The kind which makes me very happy Let's go far away to the humming meadow
so I thought I was insane when I read the lyrics because I thought the version on my iPod was some crazy thing, I didn't even know, but then you posted this and I felt alot more sane. I really love this song...maybe it's because I'm 18 and I still have tangles in my hair.
