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/
I ride the greyhound bus,
I ride it everywhere.
Oh how I count the ways,
The answer lies within me.
I love my roller skates,
I ride them everywhere.
Circle flows eternally,
How can I find a savior.
Got the coolest BMX,
I ride it everywhere.
Tis nobler to die for truth,
Tis holy to repent ones sins.
My daddy has a Subaru,
I ride it everywhere.
Time travels like a wave,
My mind it travels like a wave.
I ride it everywhere
My mind travels like a wave
I ride it everywhere.
Oh how I count the ways,
The answer lies within me.
I love my roller skates,
I ride them everywhere.
Circle flows eternally,
How can I find a savior.
Got the coolest BMX,
I ride it everywhere.
Tis nobler to die for truth,
Tis holy to repent ones sins.
My daddy has a Subaru,
I ride it everywhere.
Time travels like a wave,
My mind it travels like a wave.
I ride it everywhere
My mind travels like a wave
