The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
(Fun) hey baby, we like your lips
(Fun) hey baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
(Fun) hey, I feel lucky tonight
(Fun) I'm gonna get stoned and run around
All aboard for funtime
(Fun) last night I was down in the lab
(Fun) talkin' to Dracula and his crew
All aboard for funtime
(Fun) I don't need no heavy trips
(Fun) I just do what I want to do
All aboard for funtime

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/

Hum, explicit lyrics ! Bowie's production is amazing, he clearly inspired new-wave musicians, some years ahead of its time
i'm pretty sure bowie is singing backing vocals on this one and i'm digging it
This is basically a bowie song. He is just using Iggy for vox.
