This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
And if you knew what I know
You wouldn't go to see her
And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you
Well you're just another puppet, she's not even keeping score
And the lazy way she cheats you leaves me cold
She'll laugh about you, my best friend, but you don't know
'Cause if you knew what I know
You wouldn't go to see her
And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you
She spends her daddy's money
And she drives her daddy's car
And what's crazy is the way you think that's style
And all the while my heart is breaking
You're not even on her mind
'Cause if you knew what I know
Babe you wouldn't leave me
You wouldn't turn away from my love it's
what you said that you believed in
I say this as your friend
You'll be the poor boy in the end
You wouldn't go to see her
And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you
Well you're just another puppet, she's not even keeping score
And the lazy way she cheats you leaves me cold
She'll laugh about you, my best friend, but you don't know
'Cause if you knew what I know
You wouldn't go to see her
And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you
She spends her daddy's money
And she drives her daddy's car
And what's crazy is the way you think that's style
And all the while my heart is breaking
You're not even on her mind
'Cause if you knew what I know
Babe you wouldn't leave me
You wouldn't turn away from my love it's
what you said that you believed in
I say this as your friend
You'll be the poor boy in the end

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i think it means that she was head over heels for this guy. and he leaves her for this girl that doesnt even care about him. so shes left heartbroken while he's in a relationship that isn't doing anything and will end up breaking his heart
